In her upcoming book entitled "My Body," American supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has accused singer Robin Thicke of sexually assaulting her during the filming of the music video for “Blurred Lines.”
The 30-year-old Ratajkowski, who has recently given birth to a baby, has come forward with claims that Robin Thicke groped her breasts while they were shooting the music video for his No. 1 hit song “Blurred Lines,” the New York Daily News reported.
The set, which had an all-female crew, was enjoyable at first for Ratajkowski before Robin Thicke “returned to the set a little drunk to shoot just with me,” according to the BBC.
“Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping my bare breasts from behind. I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke,” Ratajkowski wrote.
“He smiled a goofy grin and stumbled backward, his eyes concealed behind his sunglasses. My head turned to the darkness beyond the set,” she continued.
The director of the video, Diane Martel, reportedly screamed at Thicke for his behavior, saying “What the f**k are you doing, that’s it!! The shoot is over!!”. Thicke “sheepishly apologized” for his behavior before the shoot continued, according to the Guardian.
Ratajkowski has described her actions after the incident as attempting to “minimize” the incident of what happened in the shoot.
“I pushed my chin forward and shrugged, avoiding eye contact, feeling the heat of humiliation pump through my body,” she wrote. “I didn’t react – not really, not like I should have.”
Martel has confirmed Ratajkowski’s account, adding “I remember the moment that he grabbed her breasts. One in each hand. He was standing behind her as they were both in profile.”
“[Thicke apologized] As if he knew it was wrong without understanding how it might have felt for Emily,” Martel said.
Robin Thicke has not commented on the situation as of press time.
