Emily Ratajkowski got candid about the men she has hooked up with since her 2022 divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard.
In a raw essay for the Cut published Friday, the model revealed she went on a hookup “mania,” writing that she “decided to f–k my way into a new kind of woman.”
Ratajkowski explored with a flurry of different suitors, coming to the conclusion that “men raised in New York are uniquely disturbed characters from man hell.”
She detailed her time with a DJ who allegedly told her “incest runs in” his family.
“There was Vegan Graffiti Artist with impeccable posture,” Ratajkowski continued. “Chef who thought he might have chlamydia, Spanish Gen-Zer who couldn’t stop sending me nudes, heavily self-medicated Son of a Billionaire with questionable politics, several Italians, and, of course, another DJ.”
She also nicknamed one mystery man “Elder Millennial,” and alleged he was “obsessed with dental hygiene, psychedelics, and dirty talk.”
Ratajkowski insisted that this was new territory for her.
“Before my separation, I’d never had a one-night stand. I’d never slept with someone the same day I met them. In fact, I’d only slept with eight people: four of whom had been live-in boyfriends, and one of whom was my male best friend in high school,” she explained.
Ratajkowski added that she learned “two things” while dating post-separation.
The first was that men were “turned on” by the actress having a child — son Sly, now 5 — while the second was that the more Ratajkowski pushed men away, the more they needed her.
Despite not being into Elder Millennial, the mom of one continued to see him.
“I’d seen a tweet about ‘doing it for the plot’ that I’d begun to repeat a bit too often in those days, as if it were a mantra,” she confessed.
However, Ratajkowski “wasn’t getting off on the sex” because she was “too preoccupied” with taking care of Sly.
She decided to call it quits with her hookup era.
Elsewhere in the essay, Ratajkowski opened up about the demise of her marriage.
The entrepreneur revealed that she and Bear-McClard, 45, stopped having sex after their son was born.
Ratajkowski explained that in the period after welcoming Sly in March 2021, her “marriage collapsed” in a way that “felt both instant and excruciatingly slow.”
“Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex,” the activist elaborated. “Less than a year later, we separated.”
Ratajkowski said that “leaving” her marriage was “a hard choice that came with a lot of pain and at a great cost.”
Despite being a single mom changing the way people viewed her, the writer was finally able to see herself in a new light.
“I wasn’t left; I left. I knew then that being able to leave, to say ‘no,’ was the only real superpower I’d gained through divorce. I was brave. Really, actually brave,” Ratajkowski mused.
Page Six revealed the podcaster split from Bear-McClard in July 2022 after nearly five years of marriage.
At the time, an insider claimed that the filmmaker was allegedly unfaithful to Ratajkowski.
“He’s a serial cheater,” the source stated. “It’s gross. He’s a dog.”
Ratajkowski filed for divorce in September 2022. Just one year later, in 2023, Bear-McClard was accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior with teenage girls in a Variety exposé.
The producer did not address the allegations.
