Addressing her criticism. Emily Ratajkowski did not hold back about the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde — even though she didn’t have a chance to see the project for herself yet.
“I’m not surprised to hear it’s yet another movie fetishizing female pain even in death. We do that in many, many different ways, but I want that to change. We love to fetishize female pain,” the model, 31, said in a TikTok video posted on Friday, September 30. “Look at Amy Winehouse. Look at Britney Spears. Look at the way we obsess over [Princess] Diana‘s death. Look at the way we obsess over dead girls and serial killers.

The Gone Girl star also encouraged other women to embrace their emotions, saying, “I was thinking about it, and you know what’s kind of hard to fetishize? Anger. Anger is hard to fetishize. So, I have a proposal. I think we all need to be a little more pissed off. 2022 is my bitch era. I think we should all be in our bitch era. So, I’m going to be pissed off when I see this movie, I already know it, but it’s nothing new. I’m just going to get angry.”
Ratajkowski’s commentary comes shortly after Blonde made its debut on Netflix. Less than a week after its release, the biopic made headlines for
