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.”

Isn’t it amazing how these “models” expect to jump right into acting roles in feature films, without actually learning to act and devoting years to the craft...???
Granted, plenty of them do get cheesecake roles based upon their looks, but the sense of entitlement is grating.... that being a model somehow means you can act.
Those are real...and terrific.
She is strongly associated with being topless from prior gigs, and apparently she keeps taking gigs where she poses topless. That’s not a bad thing per se, but it does limit how casting agents will see her.
She isn’t likely to be cast as a hard hitting detective in a crime drama, unless that detective is going to be topless at some point in the show.
Were she smarter about her career path, she wouldn’t complain publicly about being ‘too sexy for Hollywood’, take the gigs where the detective may get topless, establish credibility as a clothed actress rather than a semiclothed model, then work her way into fully clothed roles. Millions of aspiring actors/models/actresses would do anything to have the, uh, advantages that she has in life.
I really, really liked the video.
Well, precisely. Blondes always have more fun.
Yeah, at least she exposed Carl Berstein’s little a$$hat.
That little fool certainly didn’t fall far from the tree.

“Oh yes, the motion picture industry is constantly discriminating against women with big boobs. Protest much? [eyeroll]”
Thanks for the laugh!
Bullet Bras count ?

Without a doubt. No much tittilation here, is there?
She can’t act. Her boobs are not too big. She is too aware of herself in front of the camera like lots of good models. Modeling and acting are not the same thing.
Also, by saying this, she is clearly too stupid.
I loooooove Weird Al
The answer lies within her statement. Anyone who would arrive at such thinking is a mental midget.
Instead of whining, she should thank her lucky b@@bs - as they are probably what has carried her career thus far.
I'm thinking she probably rode in on something else.
I’d give her an “audition”!
NOT GUILTY!
Release her without a stain on her character!
If she can’t act......there’s always porn.
No acting ability required
So this is Trump’s Fault somehow?
