Emily Ratajkowski reveals there is a negative voice in her head when she looks in the mirror as she struggles with self-love: ‘I’m talking down on myself’

Emily Ratajkowski is constantly battling the ‘voice’ of her inner critic.

The 32-year-old model, actress and author – who has been accused of preaching about feminism and empowerment while flaunting her body in modeling shoots and social media posts – says she is also facing criticism from a harsh ‘internal voice’ .

She made the confession while she was talking Glamour in a video question-and-answer session, and said when asked to describe her approach to “self-love.”

“My relationship with self-love is complicated. I think it’s a journey and I think there’s an internal voice that you have to constantly encourage in a way that it’s a lot of work, and it doesn’t always come,” she shared.

When asked how she practices self-love, Emily, the mother of one, continued, “I think I’ve gotten better at catching myself when I have such a contradictory voice… and realizing that I’m putting myself down.

She admitted as much during a video Q&A with Glamour, saying when asked to describe her approach to ‘self-love’. “My relationship with self-love is complicated. I think it’s a journey and I think there’s an internal voice that you have to constantly encourage in a way that it’s a lot of work, and it doesn’t always come,” she shared.

‘I think it’s also a kind of philosophy. You need a broader macro philosophy around finding joy in your life and realizing that you are you, and this is the only life you have.

“So to realize that you can enjoy the life you’re given means you have to love yourself and be kind to yourself.”

In a separate chat for the magazine issue of Glamor, Emily opened up about how she has changed her mind about a form of feminism used to justify women showing off their bodies.

She said: ‘I don’t agree with choice feminism (now). I talked about that when I was in my early twenties, but I also correct that in the book…

“God, I said that because I wanted to protect myself and believe something, because the alternative was too scary and too depressing.

“And even the story that I told myself or talked about with Blurred Lines, this kind of ‘Well, it was fun and it was empowering,’ there were moments like that, yeah.

When asked how she practices self-love, Emily, the mother of one, continued, “I think I’ve gotten better at catching myself when I have such a contradictory voice… and realizing that I’m putting myself down.”

“But there were moments on set where it was so clear who was in power.”

Emily was referring to her claim in her book My Body that singer Robin, 46, abused her by groping her bare breast during the 2013 film Blurred Lines in front of the crew and female director.

Robin, whose career collapsed after the row over the video, never responded to the accusation and Emily has yet to hear from him.

This comes after she said her bond with her son and her book are her two greatest achievements.

The pin-up has been raising her son Sylvester as a single mother after having him almost three years ago with her 36-year-old film producer former husband Sebastian Bear-McClard – who is said to have cheated on her and is also currently facing charges allegations of sexual misconduct by multiple women in September 2022.

Emily told Glamor in an online video chat: ‘I have two things that I qualify as my greatest achievements.

“One of them is becoming a mother, and the daily achievements that I make with my son – successes and victories and just the relationship that I build with him are something that I am extremely proud of.

“And then I would say that writing my book was another huge achievement for me.”

Emily added the biggest hurdle she has faced as a woman is dealing with clichéd representations of women.

She continued, “My biggest challenge, I think, is fighting stereotypes, and being able to be a well-rounded person who can, you know, connect with all parts of myself, especially in the public eye.

“I found that very difficult and got quite a bit of pushback at times when I step out of my lane, so to speak, and I would say that’s an ongoing struggle for me, but it’s something that I do too. face in my private life, and I know a lot of friends who deal with that who aren’t famous or in the public eye, so I think it’s really about perseverance and being true to yourself.”
