Emily Ratajkowski slams 'misogynistic' comedian for trolling her scantily clad snaps

Emily Ratajkowski has hit back at social media star Celeste Barber for mocking her Instagram posts.

Supermodel and actress Emily, 31, has gone as far as blocking Celeste, 60, because she didn't 'consent' to being the butt of her jokes and will no longer accept being made fun of in front of millions of social media users.

Back in 2021, Australian social media whizz Celeste recreated one of Emily's most liked photos.

At the time, Celeste created her own version of the model's risqué photo which showed her leaning against a wall in a barely-there with no top on.

Celeste went on to mock Emily's feminist viewpoint after she insisted that she was tired of men objectifying her body - all the while she continued to pose naked online.

"We are sick of objectifying our bodies. Also, here's my a**," Celeste captioned the photo which soon went viral.

However, Celeste's quip backfired, with many social media users calling the comedian a 'misogynist' in the comments.

After getting wind of the comedian's post, and seeing the controversy surrounding it, Emily took it upon herself to block Celeste from ever seeing her posts again and giving her another opportunity to mock her photos.

Two years on from the controversy, in a recent episode of her High Low podcast, Emily spoke about her 'drama' with Celeste.

"This whole drama with Celeste has been blown out of proportion," she said.

"In general, I find her to be really funny. But, the message I was trying to send to her was, "I just don't want you to do this to me anymore".

"I was like, I'm not giving her my consent for this joke anymore. It just landed at a specific time for me."

Emily continued: "We really love to pick on female influencers, like they are considered the trash, lamest, most cringe, most embarrassing people on the plane.

"I fundamentally find that to be sexist. Yeah, no s**t women want to be influencers – it's one of the ways that women have learned to be successful and make money. They're hustling."

Despite Emily hitting back at Celeste, the Aussie comedian has no regrets.

She recently told Marie Claire: "I like running my mouth off. I do it a lot. I'm quick-witted – it's one of my favourite things about me.

"I don't like that I feel I can't do that as much, and yeah I do feel like I censor myself sometimes. But then other times I don't give a f**k and I operate from a place of already being cancelled.

"I mean good luck to them. You can't win. They hate what you do one day, then you're the greatest thing in the world the next day."
