This is actually quite sad.
An objectively beautiful woman, no matter how she wants to frame it, suffers from extremely low self-esteem, and seeking validation from random men.
Hope she heals and grow.

I didnât mind this article.
I think a lot of women can relate.
Even though she makes a living from being conventionally attractive, she still was insecure due to her scrub ex.
I think she had a lot of negative stigma around single motherhood as well, which kept her in that relationship, which I think a lot of other women will also relate to.

Far be it from me to defend a celebrity, but the headline is clearly misleading. I read the article and I suggest you do too.

the end of the article made me emotional! better than i anticipated. i liked her book and have enjoyed her other writing. yall are so rude and dismissive. also “it’s always a DJ” made me LOL

She went into a lottt of detail in this essay. I mean, the stuff she wrote about the person who sounds a lot like Eric Andre is a lot more interesting than this headline

Page six? The entire essay is in The Cut. Someone below linked to the non-paywalled version. The Page Six article isnât a decent summary. And of course Page Six isnât going to capture any nuance.
Such a peculiar habit to participate in this sub and complain about celebrities sharing about their lives. I absolutely want to hear about the dating experiences from an extremely privileged beautiful woman because if they’re doing these things to them, they’re doing it to everyone. It’s always nice to be reminded.

The more I read about her, the more I like her. I havenât yet read The Cutâs article, but I think I would enjoy to read her memoir one day. Fuck her ex, however.

Listen, I donât want to hate men. But every experience, whether itâs my own, or reading about another personâs experience, how can I not? Every goal post they erect for what is considered a perfect woman is an illusion.Â
the end was particularly impactful, just going to leave it here starting with her meeting with a divorce lawyer.
*Then he dropped his pen and looked at me directly, his tone shifting. âYâknow, I see a lotta cases,â he began. âWomen who are abused emotionally, sexually, physically, monetarily. Last week, I had a client who weâd been working with for months, gathering the information we needed to make sure her divorce would be seamless. Her husband was awful to her, just awful. Okay?â*
*”She called me yesterday and told me she was no longer divorcing him.â He paused, a practiced performer. âYou should be proud of yourself,â he said. âMost women donât leave.â*
***I left his office that day with an unexpected gift: a new kind of understanding of myself.*** *Leaving my marriage wasnât about seeking anyoneâs attention or approval. It was the opposite.

You know what. Kudos to her for being honest about a very harsh experience for many women. She might have won the genetic lotteri but in the end she’s just a woman. Experiencing birth amd motherhood like the rest of us.
I feel conflicted about this essayâŠI heavily relate to trying to fill a deep well of need though male validation and thinking Iâm âempoweringâ myself through casual sex, only for it to make me feel worse. I think there is value in being honest about that, I donât think those nuanced stories are often told.
But at the same time, I think Emrata still has a lotttt of internalized misogyny to unpack and honestly sometimes just comes off mean. Like saying that her single friends secretly wish to be married/have kids feels condescending, especially in the context of how itâs something sheâs already experienced. Then saying her married friend is jealous of her casual sex and wishes she could be with âanyone but her husbandâ also was a weird assumption that feel like a way of her highlighting how ~different~ she is. She also just adds little jabs like making fun of the bar the guy suggested, or talking about how her high school friend came immediately, that felt mean for no reason other than to make her seem cool and hot. Which she is! But it feels like she needs to prove it at the expense of others.
I feel for her and hope she has better experiences with men in the future, that guy was obviously awful. I just wish that we didnât have to compare ourselves to other women to feel valuable, but that is the position that patriarchy tries to force us into.

I think you can say this is a well written article whilst also holding the view she perhaps has as much work to do on herself as the men she laments throughout it.
There seems to be a theme that everyone is jealous of her (single friends jealous she was married and has a kid, married friend jealous she gets to sleep with so many guys) and that she is above all the men she slept with (she didnât like them, they were in love with her and she wasnât interested). I would also say that there seems to be a certain level of emotional manipulation in the relationship she talks about (that doesnât mean it minimises her own experiences).
Overall it just comes across as an attempt to intellectualise her decision to try and revenge fuck across NYC.

> âSix months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex,â Ratajkowski penned. âLess than a year later, we separated.â
She is so thirsty her publicist works overtime
Why do these people feel the need to blast this personal stuff at us? More publicity? Look at me? Make the ex look bad?

I remember when I stopped having sex with my fiancĂ©. They where like âthats totally normal, it happens.â And I was like ânot to me, Iâm a sexual person and if I donât want to have sex with my partner that means there is an underlying factor in our relationship.â We broke up about six months later.

From far below the âSex! Now that we have your attentionâŠâ head line:
> The following year, Bear-McClard was accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior with teen girls in an explosive Variety exposé. He has not addressed the allegations.
