Emily Ratajkowski accused Robin Thicke of sexual assault in her memoir, My Body.
However, weeks have passed but Robin Thicke still hasn’t responded to the actress’s claims.
In My Body, Ratajkowski detailed the harrowing incident while filming for the music video of “Blurred Lines.”
Emily Ratajkowski details Robin Thicke sexual assault
At the time, the actress said that she noticed that Thicke wasn’t having a great time on set. But she didn’t expect that the singer would grope her in front of everyone.
Ratajkowski’s allegations were confirmed by the director of the music video, who, reportedly, screamed at Thicke.
The artist later apologized to the then-30-year-old actress. But it’s unclear if he meant his apology.
Ratajkowski also revealed that Thicke was intoxicated at the time that the incident took place. And she thinks that it wouldn’t have happened if Thicke hadn’t been drinking too much.
Robin Thicke struggled after his divorce from Paula Patton
Thicke also alluded the incident to his divorce from his ex-wife, Paula Patton. The latter previously revealed that her ex-husband had some drinking and alcohol problems that’s why he decided to leave him.
Around the time that he was filming “Blurred Lines,” Thicke admitted that he was so hung up on alcohol and drugs.
“You don’t realize you’re not in control. Fame and a lot of those things—they got to me. I was in a bad place. I’m happy to have closed that chapter,” he told People years ago.
The singer has not publicly apologized to Emily Ratajkowski
As of late, Thicke has not responded to Ratajkowski’s very public accounts of what he did to her. But the actress admitted that the incident was the first time ever that she felt naked.
“I pushed my chin forward and shrugged, avoiding eye contact, feeling the heat of humiliation pump through my body. I didn’t react—not really, not as I should have. With that one gesture, Robin Thicke had reminded everyone on set that we women weren’t actually in charge. I didn’t have any real power as the naked girl dancing around in his music video. I was nothing more than the hired mannequin,” she wrote.
Following the incident, Ratajkowski finished her commitment to appear in the music video for “Blurred Lines.” But it’s obvious that she and Robin Thicke would never work together again.
