'I’m disgusted': Emily Ratajkowski SLAMS Blue Origin space flight
Model Emily Ratajkowski has described the divisive Blue Origin space flight - which saw an all-female crew including Katy Perry take the 11-minute trip - as "beyond parody".
Emily Ratajkowski has blasted the Blue Origin space flight as "beyond parody".
The 33-year-old model and actress is "disgusted" after Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' rocket flew an all-female crew - including his fiancee Lauren Sanchez, 50, pop star Katy Perry, 40, and 70-year-old journalist Gayle King - into space for a short journey which marked the first all female spaceflight since Valentina Tereshkova's solo trip in 1963.
In a TikTok video, Emily ranted: "That space mission this morning? That's end time s***. Like, this is beyond parody.
"Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s singlehandedly destroying the planet?
"Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what? What was the marketing there?
"And then to try to make it like… I’m disgusted. Literally, I’m disgusted."
During a press conference after they returned, Gayle addressed critics by saying: “Anybody that’s criticising it doesn’t really understand what is happening here.”
