The model split from Sebastian Bear-McClard earlier this year
Top model Emily Ratajkowski has confirmed she is “newly single” amid
rumours she is dating Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt.
The beauty
was linked to Pitt last month after the pair was spotted hanging out
together in New York, having dinner at Pearl Oyster Bar.
The
31-year-old has opened up about her split from Sebastian Bear-McClard,
saying she is learning to “let go.”
“I’m newly single for
basically the first time in my life ever, and I just feel like I’m kind of
enjoying the freedom of not being super worried about how I’m being
perceived,” the “My Body” author told Variety.
“One of the things I write about in the last essay of [“My
Body”] is about control and kind of understanding that one of the best ways
to actually be happy and have some semblance of control is letting go.
Emily
has partnered with Sony Music Entertainment to launch her podcast, High Low
With EmRata, which is a part-monologue, part-interview podcast series; twice
a week.
It will explore everything from philosophy, politics, and
feminism to sex, pop culture, and TikTok.
In a bonus third
episode, Emily will engage with comments from listeners.
Speaking
to The Cut, Emily revealed she is firmly in her ‘Bitch era’ since splitting
with Bear-McClard.
“It might be longer than 2022, to be honest,
because this year’s coming to an end and I have a whole lot of bitchiness to
serve up.
“Generally speaking, I think anger is something all of us have
a negative relationship to.
“At least for me, I associate it with
masculinity and toxic masculinity and violence, even.
“But I
think what the world could use is a healthy dose of female anger. It’s
interesting with what we’re seeing in the world and what’s happening in Iran
right now. Justified rage can be really productive.
“A lot of
good things can come out of anger, and it doesn’t mean violence or toxic
masculinity; it can just mean being a bitch. I like that word because it has
this negative, derogatory [connotation].
“It’s a slur, but I’d
like to say that, in the same way we’re thinking about how anger doesn’t
have to be a negative thing, being a bitch doesn’t have to be a negative
thing. It can just mean standing up for yourself.”
