Emily Ratajkowski\u2018s<\/a> candid words are drawing some criticism from fans.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, the model, 35, published a raw essay for The Cut<\/a> about her romantic life before and after she and Sebastian Bear-McClard<\/a> split, and about finding herself as a single mother<\/a> to their son, Sylvester \u201cSly\u201d Apollo Bear, 5.<\/p>\n

In a clip posted on the outlet\u2019s Instagram<\/a> on Monday, June 15, the actress did a voiceover of an excerpt from her essay.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the years leading up to becoming a mother, I came to resent deeply the na\u00efvet\u00e9 and inequality that being a good girl left me with \u2014 the way every man I liked had slept with more women than I had men, the dissonance I experienced when they talked about a girl they\u2019d [explicit] \u2018casually\u2019 and were now friends with,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are girls who are capable of that? I wondered. I couldn\u2019t relate, but I wanted to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans took to the comment section, seemingly unable to relate to Ratajkowski.<\/p>\n

\u201cHahahaha imagine reading this utter [explicit] and thinking it\u2019s really profound \ud83d\ude02,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an insane amount of delusion it takes to think that this is the way to go through life \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02,\u201d a second commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy does she think this is interesting?\u201d a third questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cGirl, from a single mother to another one, get therapy,\u201d a fourth stated.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the essay, Ratajkowski recalled the breakdown of her relationship with Bear-McClard, with whom she was married from 2018 to 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a violent transition into a new reality of screaming baby on my aching tit and ring on my swollen finger. And then, in a time period that felt both instant and excruciatingly slow, my marriage collapsed,\u201d she penned. \u201cSix months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex. Less than a year later, we separated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ratajkowski also detailed her post-divorce dating escapades writing: \u201cI wish I could say I\u2019d started to date slowly \u2014 that there was some period of grief or reflection as a newly single person, a healthy pause before my mania \u2014 but the truth is just a week after my split, I found myself in Brooklyn, a shell-shocked and sleepless version of myself, wearing what seemed to me like the kind of outfit a girl who goes on dates wears, a crop top and black pants that all of my friends had approved via a mirror selfie, sitting across from a DJ. Of course a DJ. Always a DJ.\u201d<\/p>\n
