Emily Ratajkowski was a victim of the massive nude photo leak last fall, but she doesn’t think those who looked at her nude photos should feel that guilty.
During the interview for her British GQ cover, the 24-year-old Sports Illustrated Swim model said the naked-photo Googlers weren’t criminals.
“I’ve gotten over the fact I’ve got no privacy,” Ratajkowski said. “This is not the right way to think, politically – that you ‘have nothing to hide’, but I always hated when I was growing up how people would really freak out about paparazzi following them.”
‘It’s like, ‘Well that’s the job and the profession that you’re in.'” (RELATED: Nude Photos Of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton Released In Huge Leak)

“A lot of people who were victims of that said anyone who looks at these pictures should feel guilty, but I just don’t think that’s fair.”
“I think once it’s out there, it’s out there, and I’m not sure that anyone who googles it is necessarily a criminal. I think the people that stole the photos are.”

Ratajkowski shot to stardom after she made a naked appearance in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” music video, and during her interview with GQ she commented on the lawsuit made against Thicke by Marvin Gaye’s family.
Gaye’s family alleged Thicke lifted “Blurred Lines” from Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up.” (RELATED: Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines: ‘I Was Drunk And High In The Studio’)
“I have to say, from someone who really knows the beginning of ‘Blurred Lines’, when it comes on, half the time it’s the Marvin Gaye song but I’ve already tried to leave the place or hide, and then it’s like, ‘Oh it’s the Marvin Gaye one, what the fuck was I stressing about?'”
“They’re that similar.”

“I think I’ve done enough nudity now that I don’t really need to do ‘Blurred Lines’ again. Like, if someone asked me to do it now, I’d probably say no.”
“I didn’t feel objectified when I was making it. I felt like I was having a lot of fun as a sexual person.” (PHOTOS: Emily Ratajkowski: Yes, They’re Real)
