Emily Ratajkowski was paid $25K to attend Super Bowl with Malaysian fugitive Jho Low – Daily Mail

Inamorata CEO Emily Ratajkowski revealed she was once paid $25K to attend the Super Bowl with disgraced Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho aka Jho Low.

The 40-year-old fugitive is facing eight charges of money laundering in the 1MDB scandal, and the 30-year-old new mother told The Sunday Times Magazine of the gig: ‘I was on the clock.’ 

Ratajkowski also said she ‘was not at all shocked’ by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as she used to attend luxurious Coachella parties packed with powerful older men and ‘good-time girls.’

‘A lot of my experiences with Coachella, or whatever, the transaction wasn’t defined. The terms of agreement weren’t named. I found out later that they invited girls who couldn’t afford food or a nice meal out to these fancy dinners in LA. That was a motivator for them to come. And that’s manipulation,’ the London-born SoCal native said.

‘I witnessed so much of that in different forms. Right before Covid I went to some new nightclub and it was really empty. All of a sudden 10 – I would guess if they weren’t underage then barely of age – models arrive with one guy. I was, like, “Oh right, the same thing is still happening. Beautiful girls being out at a club and rich men paying indirectly to have them there.”‘

In her literary debut My Body – dropping this Tuesday – Emily claimed singer Robin Thicke groped her breasts on the set of his Blurred Lines video in 2013 and that photographer Jonathan Leder sexually assaulted her in 2011.

‘These were the experiences I didn’t want to look at because they made me feel out of control of my own life and I was afraid of acknowledging that,’ Ratajkowski admitted.

‘I didn’t sit down to write a list of the traumatic events in my life. At all. But there were experiences that I had a lot of shame around and there is this validation that comes with people reading it and recognizing your experience as being real and it existing.’

The Fendi by Versace catwalker also described how her ex-boyfriend Owen, age 16, ‘forced himself’ on her when she was too drunk to refuse at age 15.

‘Naming what had happened with Owen was particularly healing,’ Emily told the mag.

‘That was nonconsensual sex. I was so young. I hadn’t even had sex before. So many young women I know, their first early sexual experiences border on nonconsensual.’

Ratajkowski said welcoming her first child – eight-month-old son Sylvester Apollo Bear – with her husband of three years Sebastian Bear-McClard ‘a transforming experience.’ 

‘As somebody who is always searching for control, all of a sudden I was completely out of control of my body,’ the Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 stunner – who ‘prayed for beauty’ as a child – said. 

‘Every day you have something else happening and you don’t know what’s going on. I was especially nervous about childbirth, but I knew that the only way to have a successful birth and for my body to be able to open up was to just surrender to it.’

Emily will next bring her six-date My Body book tour to The Strand in Manhattan this Tuesday with moderator Chanel Miller.

Ratajkowski will then appear on this Wednesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show to promote the 256-page nonfiction book of essays.

‘I would never tell a young woman not to model because I have had the success and the financial success to be able to buy myself time to write this book,’ the self-described feminist explained.

‘And I have the ability to have this book be talked about in a way that an unknown writer wouldn’t – and that’s power. And that came through commodifying my image and my body.’
