Emily Ratajkowski recently spoke out about her reaction to the viral video of her and Harry Styles sharing a kiss in Tokyo last month. The video sparked fans’ reactions, who were seemingly surprised with the PDA.
In a recent interview with Vogue Spain, the My Body author shared her thoughts on the video and admitted that she never expected it to go viral. “I didn’t expect this to happen [in relation to the video leak], but I think, in general, there’s a reason certain celebrities live in LA, hire security, don’t go to public restaurants,” Ratajkowski told the outlet.
Ratajkowski also addressed the idea of giving up her freedom for the sake of privacy, saying it’s something she hasn’t considered yet. The video surfaced after Ratajkowski split from Eric André in February and Styles’ relationship with Olivia Wilde ended in November 2022.
When asked how it felt for her relationships to become the center of attention in the public sphere, Ratajkowski admitted that she hasn’t gotten used to it. “It’s very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them. I’m just a person who’s gone from a three-year relationship to a four-year relationship, so this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been in a dating stage,” Ratajkowski told Vogue Spain.
“The interest there is in that particular area is very strange. Not that I’m surprised, but it’s a tiny slice of my life,” she added.
While Ratajkowski and Styles have not confirmed any romantic involvement between them, the video certainly got fans talking. As for Ratajkowski, she continues to navigate the public scrutiny surrounding her personal life with grace and poise.
