Comedian Celeste Barber has been at the funny celebrity photos game for over 6 years, so if you haven’t heard of her before, you’ll remember her from now on.
You know who does remember her? Emily Ratajkowski and several other celebrities who have fallen victim to her hilarious photo mimics. After several went viral last time, I’m sure you’ll recognize a few.
Ratajkowski has even gone as far as to ask Barber to stop, but as you may already know, asking a comedian to stop is like pouring jet fuel on a campfire.
Recenly, Ratajkowski shared her thoughts about the comedian’s pictures on her High Low podcast:
“This whole drama with Celeste has been blown out of proportion. In general, I find her to be really funny. But, the message I was trying to send to her was, ‘I just don’t want you to do this to me anymore.'”
“I want to be able to do my thing, whether that be writing about my terrifying experiences in an industry that doesn’t protect women and young girls and femme-presenting people while also having a bathing suit line.”
Ratajkowski has also recently been advocating for herself. At the time Barber’s post dropped, Emily has just written a post in The Cut titled ‘Buying Myself Back’, where she explains she will no longer allow people to use her image without consent for personal gain.
Ratajkowski continued, “I was like, I’m not giving her my consent for this joke anymore. It just landed at a specific time for me.”
Emily went on to explain she really has no hard feelings towards Barber but does think her comedic angle promotes more sexism toward women who put their bodies on display to be judged.
“We really love to pick on female influencers, like they are considered the trash, lamest, most cringe, most embarrassing people on the planet.”
“I fundamentally find that to be sexist. Yeah, no s**t women want to be influencers – it’s one of the ways that women have learned to be successful and make money. They’re hustling.”
But Celeste agrees to disagree, so here are the funniest celebrity picture mimics she has for us.
