Emily Ratajkowski is receiving support from fans after getting publicly body-shamed while filming a TikTok video in New York City.
In a video, uploaded on Tuesday, the 33-year-old supermodel shared footage of the bizarre moment a man, off-camera, interrupted her walk to tell her to ‘put on a shirt.’
The sexist remark was made as she strutted down the sidewalk wearing a grey tank top with a low-cut neckline, black leggings and a gold choker necklace.
She accessorized her laid-back look with a black shoulder bag, hoop earrings and a pair of QUAY x Guizio glasses.
‘Wait for it: man tells me to put on a shirt,’ the mother-of-one, who is rumored to be dating singer Shaboozey, wrote over the footage, which has been viewed 1.7 million times.

Under her post, the best-selling author’s followers expressed their outrage and offered their support.
‘Imagine saying that to emily ratajkowski,’ one marveled.
Another wrote: ‘saying that to EMRATA is crazy behavior.’
‘The audacity to speak to a stranger like that. You should dress and be whoever you choose to be,’ a third commented.
A fourth asked: ‘Why put on a shirt when you literally look that good.’
On Instagram, one fan joked that it felt ‘like we’ve lost the plot if men are telling Emily Ratajkowski to put on more clothes.’
‘Funny how they get so mad and then go home and turn on porn, objectify women on the street, and stare with their big googly eyes at every woman who walks past,’ another chimed in.
Others praised her for not flinching at the comment and just ignoring him.

The Inamorata swimwear founder captioned the post, ‘famously not demure, famously not mindful.’
She was referencing the new TikTok trend, which has taken the platform by storm, that was started by Jools Lebron.
Ratajkowski set the video to Charli XCX’s hit track, song, 365, off her latest album, Brat.
Previously, Ratajkowski, who penned the book My Body, has admitted to ‘exploiting herself’ and ‘using her body’ to get ‘fame and success.’
During a 2021 interview, the New York-based actress confessed to ‘capitalizing on her sexuality’ when she was younger in attempt to gain control during an interview with CBS Mornings.

‘[In] my early 20s, I really thought of myself as hustling and working the system and saying, “Okay, I know what I can get from becoming a model and from using my body to have fame and success.” And, I even called it empowerment,’ she explained.
Emily starred in Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ music video in 2013 – when she was 22 years old – and it quickly skyrocketed her career.
In the clip, she and two other female models appeared completely topless as they danced alongside Robin. She later claimed that the singer groped her beasts on set.
‘I was in the Blurred Lines video – that was my big breakthrough moment – and I told everyone that felt like an empowering experience,’ she said.
‘But, as I’ve gotten older, I realized that it’s a bit more complicated and feel a responsibility to tell young girls that.
‘I would be wrong to say that it’s just simply empowering to capitalize on your sexuality and your beauty as a woman.’
The mom-of-one continued, ‘I’m not interested in cancelling anyone. For me it was telling the truth of the whole reality of that experience. Because for so long everything I said was, “It was so fun,” which, by the way, it was also.’

Emily explained that she liked to ‘use her sexuality’ and ‘capitalize on her image’ because she felt it gave her ‘some kind of control.’
‘I don’t think that exploiting myself is progress at all, I think that it just offered me some kind of control. The only time I feel like I’ve experienced empowerment is through writing [My Body] and telling this story and even just making something, creating something. That feels like real power,’ she said.
