Emily Ratajkowski says her breasts are holding her back from getting acting jobs.
The actress — who first broke onto the scene as one of the topless models in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” video — says she thinks it’s a form of gender discrimination.
“There’s this thing that happens to me: ‘Oh, she’s too sexy.’ It’s like an anti-woman thing, that people don’t want to work with me because my boobs are too big,” Ratajkowski, 26, tells Harper’s Bazaar Australia for their August issue.
“What’s wrong with boobs? They’re a beautiful feminine thing that needs to be celebrated. Like, who cares? They are great big, they are great small. Why should that be an issue?”
Ratajkowski — who posed nude for the U.S. edition of Harper’s Bazaar in August — previously said that women are too often criticized for showing off their sexuality.
“Our society tells women we can’t be, say, sexy and confident and opinionated about politics,” she wrote in an essay for Glamour. “This would allow us too much power. Instead our society asks us to declare and defend our motivations, which makes us second-guess them, all while men do what they please without question.”

She was told that she was too a big a boob to act, but she was too stupid to understand.
Be sure to check out Weird Al Yankovick's "Word Crimes" video. The song is better and the video more entertaining, even without the nudity. Be sure to watch Word Crimes after Blurred Lines.

Acting ability. Try it. Go to school for it. Act in horribly small productions for subsistence wages and get better. You ain’t paid your dues, kid. And the “my boobs are too big” crap is just jive.
—A SAG card holder who’s paid his dues
Every actor loses roles because they don’t look right for a part. Danny DeVito is not going to get the same acting roles as Tom Selleck. This is true for every actor on the face of the planet.
“Word Crimes” is one of the best Weird Al Yankovic songs.
Maybe she can't get hired b/c she is delusional?
Could be her membership in SAG.

Good God, those torpedoes should be classified as military grade weaponry!

We’re all boobs for reading it.
And why are we supposed to care if this woman’s acting career is tits up? She’s guilty of falsie...er, I mean false advertising.
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. When life hands you boobs, star in “the invasion of the big boobs”
And if you can't act but you look like Emily Ratajkowski, have sex with the right people.
You have to understand that we need to keep a breast of such things
IIII'm too sexy for your movie....
Hey if she wants to have a lucrative and successful career acting there's a booming film industry in the valley, and it's not that far from Hollywood. Not far at all, distance or content wise.
“All while men do what they please without question”
This is the foundational error of feminism, from which all the rest flows.
Interesting, but not that big. I’ve seen bigger.
Is someone’s training bra in a wad?
