Emily Ratajkowski had the ideal reaction when a random man told her to “put a shirt on.”
The model and author shared a brief video of the encounter on her TikTok account, causing quite a stir among her fans. Check it out:
In the video’s caption, Emily wrote: “Wait for it: man tells me to put on a shirt.”
Filming herself in selfie mode, she is seen walking down a NYC street wearing a tank top.
As she crosses the road, a man on a bicycle rides past and shouts: “Girl, put on a shirt!”
The TikTok video transitions to a clip featuring Charli XCX’s song “365” from her latest album, which has generated a lot of buzz.
The song’s lyrics go: “Who the f**k are you? I’m a brat when I’m bumpin’ that. Now I wanna hear my track, are you bumpin’ that?”
Fans quickly took to the comments section to defend Emily.
One person commented: “Imagine saying that to Emily Ratajkowski.”
Another added: “The audacity to speak to a stranger like that. You should dress and be whoever you choose to be,” while a third remarked: “I never acknowledge them either. Let them feel embarrassed for talking to themselves because I don’t exchange my, very valuable, energy for free.”
Additionally, a fourth commented: “And this happens to THEE Emily Ratajkowski. Imagine how us ‘ordinary women’ are treated & feel. She’s literally covered so much. disturbing.”
In the video’s description, Emily wrote: “Famously not demure, famously not mindful.”
This refers to a popular TikTok trend that is currently sweeping the internet.
TikToker Jools Lebron initiated the trend by posting a video on how women should present themselves in the workplace.
Lebron advised employees to aim for a “demure” look, a concept that appears to resonate with many online.
She said in her video: “You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure. Very mindful.”
“I don’t come to work with a green cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work. You see how I look very presentable? The way I came to the interview is the way I go to the job.”
The TikToker added: “A lot of you girls go to the interview looking like Marge Simpson and go to the job looking like Patty and Selma.”
“Not demure. I’m very modest. I’m very mindful. You see my shirt? Only a little chee chee out, not my cho cho. Be mindful of why they hired you.”
