It looks like model Emily Ratajkowski and former TV show host Ellen DeGeneres might have some “Bad Blood” over Taylor Swift. In a resurfaced clip on TikTok, DeGeneres can be seen hammering the Nashville singer, who looked visibly uncomfortable, about her dating life during a 2012 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

Throughout the cringey clip, Swift sits across from DeGeneres, asking the singer to choose from an array of images of famous men that she might have been involved with, like Taylor Lautner, Justin Bieber, Joe Jonas, and Justin Timberlake.

“This is so f*ked up,” the supermodel wrote.

“She’s literally begging her to stop,” Ratajkowski continued.

In spite of Swift’s pleas to DeGeneres to stop, the daytime talk show host asked Swift to “ring a bell” every time she came across a picture of one of the men she dated. The singer said she wanted to keep “the one shred of dignity that I have.”

“I don’t want to [do it]. They’ll send me angry emails, and I don’t want to get them,” Swift stated.

It’s unclear whether the bit was planned, but Swift didn’t seem too happy with it either way.

The Midnights singer recently opened up about being reduced to the men she dated in the early days of her career, such as with Apple Beats’ Zane Lowe. Despite Swift not mentioning DeGeneres by name at the time, many Swifties argued that she was referencing the uncomfortable 2012 interview.

Emily Ratajkowski Says She “Attracts The Worst Men” After Pete Davidson Fling

Dating as one of the most beautiful women in the world sounds easy. However, figures like Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski continue to prove that it’s anything but. In 2022, both socialites spent time with Pete Davidson. The latter was venting about attracting “the worst men” following their split on her podcast.

Earlier this week, the mother of one was joined by Olivia Ponton, with whom she discussed some of the finer intricacies of modern dating. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘F*ck,’ because I want a confident man,” the host told her guest.

“I feel like I attract the worst men. I don’t want an overly confident man who has something to prove and is trying to prove it through me.”

Of course, before she briefly linked up with Davidson, Ratajkowski spent several years with Sebastian Bear-McClard. Their relationship resulted in a four-year marriage, as well as the birth of their son, Sylvester Apollo Bear.

Later in the podcast episode, the Gone Girl actress was candid about her biggest dating pet peeves. “What I hate with dating, with men in particular, is I feel like they’re like, ‘OK, yes, you’re special. You’ve done it,’” she explains. “And they love it and love it, and then slowly, they get emasculated and they don’t know what to do with those feelings, and then they resent you.”

“Then they start to tear you down, and then you’re back to square one,” her observation goes on. “It’s so fucked up and unfair because I feel like a lot of men who truly think they want a strong woman actually don’t know how to handle it and they don’t know what it means for their own identity.”

EmRata didn’t specify who she was talking about, but as Complex notes, after ending things with Davidson, the two apparently remain friends. Following her divorce, however, the 31-year-old has been sharing some shady content seemingly aimed at her co-parent.

Emily Ratajkowski Is Over Pete Davidson, Sources Say She’s “Single & Totally Happy”

by

Pete Davidson hasn’t been so lucky in love this year. After romancing two of the most lusted-after women on the planet, though, it’s likely he’ll have his pick of the litter once he starts planning his 2023 dates. As you’ll recall, he began 2022 in a relationship with Kim Kardashian. Once that came to an end, he and Emily Ratajkowski were making headlines together.

The model and comedian spent time together in New York last month. Aftward, gossip about their budding fling was in constant circulation. Eventually, the public even got a glimpse of them in real-time as they sat courtside at an NBA game.

Since then, however, things seem to have fallen apart as quickly as they came together. According to PEOPLE‘s source, “Em is single and totally happy.”

“She will always prioritize her son but enjoys dating when she has time. She enjoys her independence. [Emily] doesn’t have plans to see Pete again. She had fun with him, but she realized she didn’t want it to become anything else – she likes her life as it is,” they additionally explained.

While she has her little one to take care of, Davidson has wasted no time in attending sports games with a new woman.

Earlier in December, he and Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders were at a New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game together. At the time, a source shut down dating rumours. They’re simply “great friends [who] hang out all the time,” though they’re “most definitely not an item.”

Ratajkowski was also spotted smooching another famous face recently. She and New York artist Jack Greer were caught kissing on their most recent outing.

Surprisingly, she discussed her dating life on her High Low podcast the next day, admitting to finally signing up for dating apps and experimenting with finding love in the digital world.

Listen to the full episode below, and let us know who you think Pete Davidson will date next in the comments.

Bella Thorne Recalls A Director Accusing Her Of Flirting When She Was 10 Years Old

by

Bella Thorne says that a director once accused her of flirting with him when she was just 10 years old. Throne recalled the incident during a discussion with Emily Ratajkowski on her High Low podcast.

“’What the fuck are you talking about man?’” she remembered thinking at the time. “I don’t give a fuck what the fuck I said. I don’t care if I said ‘eat my pussy right now.’ She is 10 years old! Why ever would you think that? Why?”

Thorne continued: “You’re in a director session—you can’t really say or do much. You do the scene, you say hello, you walk out. There’s no time to like ‘let me go sit on your lap’ or like make you feel uncomfortable. What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Just putting that on a 10-year-old child and making it like they made an adult man uncomfortable is insane… and then that was relayed to a casting director who was happy to relay that to your mom,” Ratajkowski said. “If you need a more fucked up story about Hollywood and, like, pedophilia and the sexualization of children, I don’t know if there is one.”

Ratajkowski has been open about her own struggles with sexual harassment in the industry. In 2021, she published a collection of essays titled My Body, in which she examined the commodification of the female body. In the book, she accuses Robin Thicke of groping her on the set for his “Blurred Lines” music video. The track was released in 2013.

Pete Davidson & Emily Ratajkowski “Getting More Serious”: Report

by

Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski are reportedly “getting more serious,” according to sources close to the couple. The report comes after the two sat courtside at a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, last month.

“They are going strong and getting a little more serious,” a source close to Davidson told People. They added that they “are really enjoying their time together.”

Additionally, the two reportedly have a lot “in common.” Specifically, they share “similar vibes personality-wise and style-wise” as well as “a love of the East Coast.”

The source added that Davidson “really makes her laugh and keeps things fun.”

A second source, one close to Ratajkowski, agreed that the couple are “getting more serious.”

They explained she “keeps seeing Pete and is enjoying it,” describing their romance as “fun without any stress.”

“Pete takes her to dinner and events. They also hang out a lot at home,” the insider said, adding he “is very chill and understanding about her being a mom.” Ratajkowski is a mother to 21-month-old son Sylvester, whom she shares with Sebastian Bear-McClard.

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard split back in July 2022 after the two had married in 2018.

The source also said that Ratajkowski is “in a great place” following her “very unexpected and rough” divorce. However, they added, “it took her a while to bounce back.”

Prior to being linked to Ratajkowski, Davidson had been in a relationship with Kim Kardashian for several months. The two went their separate ways in August.

Emily Ratajkowski Shared A Compelling Observation About Robin Thicke’s Now-Infamous Alleged Groping On The ‘Blurred Lines’ Set

by

Emily Ratajkowski recently threw down a convincing theory about how “only other men” are confused about Pete Davidson’s attractiveness in the eyes of women, and she’s here to level the field on a more serious subject. That would be her revelation (as published in her My Body memoir) that Robin Thicke groped her on the “Blurred Lines” set, an account that was backed up by video director Diane Martel, who cut the shoot short after the incident. Emily visited with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, where she revealed what she’s gained in perspective from that experience.

Let’s just say that she likely did not set out to level Robin Thicke with her declaration, but that’s still part of the effect because her take is incredibly effective. She suspects that maybe Thicke felt powerless on the set (which was run by a female director and filled with women owning their sexuality, contrary to the song’s lyrics) and was acting out as a result. Yup, she said this, and Emily totally took the high road while responding to Noah’s question on how she views the experience through the lens of time:

“I think that I’m really not interested in blaming individuals. I think that we live in a culture that allows a lot of these situations to occur. [Not just in] professional settings but on dates. Again, not to beat the horse, but power dynamics is what I’m interested in talking about and really revealing because I think that, in some ways, maybe that was like an attempt at leveling the power for him, and I think we need to look at how many this culture if bad for both men and women.”

Again, Emily did not appear to set out with the intent of making Robin Thicke look like a disempowered presence on his own video set, but oh boy, that’s how it’s looking now. And it’s a powerful move on her part to make this observation, and it’s completely her prerogative to look at the situation as reflective of the whole culture. The entire The Daily Show interview is a fascinating one, and it began with Noah admitting, “This is one of the most interesting and complicated books I’ve read about the subject.”

From there, Emily discussed what empowerment really means and how our culture has commodified women. She sees this as extreme in society, to the point where the OnlyFans back-and-forth on whether to ban explicit material was a way for someone to attempt to take power from those women. She compares that situation to the “Blurred Lines” video, and she further says, “Every woman can relate to the experience of getting dressed and knowing, you know, sort of the negotiation of how tight to I want my shirt to be? How, you know, much do I want to cover up?” Emily Ratajkowski gets it.

Emily Ratajkowski Alleges Robin Thicke Groped Her On The ‘Blurred Lines’ Set

In Emily Ratajkowski’s upcoming memoir, the actress/model accuses singer Robin Thicke of groping her on the music video set of his controversial 2013 hit single, “Blurred Lines.” The video, of which two versions were released, one for broadcast and the other “unrated,” features Ratajkowski and other models dancing around Thicke and the song’s co-producer Pharrell Williams with various props. In the broadcast version, the women are scantily clad in short shorts and crop tops, while the “unrated” version has them topless in underwear. Apparently, Thicke took advantage of this situation to make unwanted advances toward the women.

In an excerpt published by The Daily Beast from the memoir, titled My Body, Ratajkowski describes the incident in question. “Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping my bare breasts from behind,” she writes. “I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke.” As noted by Consequence Of Sound, this squares with the video director Diane Martel’s account to The Sunday Times Of London. “I remember the moment that he grabbed her breasts,” she recalled. One in each hand. He was standing behind her as they were both in profile. I screamed in my very aggressive Brooklyn voice, ‘What the f*ck are you doing, that’s it!! The shoot is over!!”

Previously, the song was subject to a lawsuit filed by the family of R&B singer Marvin Gaye, who said that the song blatantly copied Gaye’s 1977 hit “Got To Give It Up.” The Gaye estate won the case, with a judge granting the family $7.4 million in damages for copyright infringement and adding Gaye’s songwriting credits to “Blurred Lines.”
