Emily Ratajkowski Recalls Being Described As “Pamela Anderson Before The Hep C”

Emily Ratajkowski says that her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard’s agent once described her as being “like Pamela Anderson before the hep C.” Ratajkowski had been at a Hollywood party that her partner pressured her into attending. She reflected on the incident during a new interview with The Los Angeles Times.

Ratajkowski originally brought the incident to light in an essay from 2020. “I thought about the way that [Bear-McClard] had glided through the room, a room full of men who only two years before had been kissing Harvey Weinstein’s ring and encouraging their young female clients to take meetings with him in hotel rooms,” she wrote. “I hated that my husband was at all connected to these men.”

Speaking with The Times, Ratajkowski explained that seeing her ex-husband’s behavior confirmed her suspicions about the nature of the entertainment industry. “And maybe that’s why right now I’m not really interested in men’s POVs,” she told the outlet. “Because they were lies. And I don’t mean infidelity. This is a f—ed up world. Like, Hollywood is f—ed up. And it’s dark. Obviously, it would be nice to be with somebody who’s in the industry or understands it, but I don’t think I can. That was what that essay was about … I had a hard time even being at a party like that. But then having a part of me that was so connected to it was even harder.” Ratajkowski did not specifically address the recent sexual misconduct allegations made against Bear-McClard.

Ratajkowski separated from Bear-McClard in July 2022 and has since filed for divorce. In the months since, she’s dated several high-profile celebrities including Pete Davidson, Eric Andre, and more. Just last month, photos emerged of her kissing Harry Styles. “There’s a million insane, inaccurate things about my relationships [that are said],” Ratajkowski told The Times. “I’m definitely still not thinking about guys,. Although, yeah. You know, sometimes things just happen.”
