Emily Ratajkowski and her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard are allegedly a bit behind on their rent.
The New York Post reported the following Saturday:
The millionaire movie-producer hubby of model Emily Ratajkowski is living rent free in the couple’s Noho loft thanks to a legal loophole meant to protect struggling artists, his livid landlord alleges.
Filmmaker Sebastian Bear-McClard, who’s worth an estimated $12 million, has allegedly stiffed the landlord out of $120,000 for the unit at 49 Bleecker St. since 2017, claiming protection under the state’s Loft Law, a building rep said.

After his lease expired in 2017, he hasn’t paid a penny of the $4,900 monthly rent since then, claims lease holder Antoni Ghosh in Manhattan Civil Court.
If this is true, it’s a really bad look. Celebrities love to pump up their images with displays of their wealth. Allegedly not paying your rent is literally the exact opposite of that. The Loft Law appears like it was designed to stop poor people from being kicked out of commercial spaces if they’re not paying rent. I’m not exactly sure what the overall purpose of that is, but protecting millionaires likely isn’t part of it. (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)
You couldn’t get any farther from being a baller than reportedly being behind $120,000 on what you owe in rent. That is a mind-boggling amount of money. (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)
Everybody knows that we’re all in on Ratajkowski, but I might have to re-evaluate that stance if this is true. (SLIDESHOW: 71 Times Samantha Hoopes Stripped Down)
It makes me wonder if Ratajkowski and her husband actually have the money to ball out or not. You’d think they’d want to avoid embarrassment at all costs, which is the standard operating procedure in the entertainment industry.

If they had the money, you’d think they’d always pay their rent. Again, if this report is true, then it’s just a brutal optic for the two of them. (SLIDESHOW: 60 Times Abigail Ratchford Wore Almost Nothing)
Not paying your debts is one of the scummiest things you can do in a civilized society, especially when you have money.

I hope this report isn’t true because I don’t want my views of Ratajkowski to turn negative.
