Emily Ratajkowski called out woman after she kept copying every photo she was taking

Imitation isn't always the sincerest form of flattery

Emily Ratajkowski called out a woman who was mimicking several of her photos on Instagram.

Model, actor and author Ratajkowski is widely known for her stunning good looks and regularly shares content from her photoshoots on social media.

However, the 33-year-old's racy snaps have sometimes divided opinions online, with some people pointing out that her images promote unattainable beauty standards, particularly to young women.

It wasn't long before Ratajkowski's content found its way to Australian comedian Celeste Barber, who decided to recreate several of her images.

Ratajkowski isn't the only celebrity who has been targeted by Barber's tongue-in-cheek content over the years, with famous faces such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner being mimicked by the Wellmania star.

However, it would appear that Ratajkowski wasn't too comfortable with her photos being used for the comedian's content.

"I don’t think Emily is a fan. That’s okay, she’s allowed to not love it. But she blocked me," Barber explained to Nova's Fitzy & Wippa radio show in 2022.

Ratajkowski has since spoken out about the situation, explaining how the whole thing was 'blown out of proportion' on her podcast.

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

"[I want] to be able to do my thing, whether that be writing about my terrifying experiences in an industry that doesn’t protect women and young girls and femme-presenting people while also having a bathing suit line."

Discussing the situation further in a piece in The Cut, she added: "I was like, I’m not giving her my consent for this joke anymore. It just landed at a specific time for me.

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

"I fundamentally find that to be sexist. Yeah, no s*** women want to be influencers - it’s one of the ways that women have learned to be successful and make money. They’re hustling."

The comedian responded to Ratajkowski's comments in an interview with Marie Clare last year, saying: "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*** 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."

Barber has continued to post her comparison photos on Instagram, however, it seems like she hasn't recreated any of the model's images for several months.
