With his brand new album hitting the stands this past summer, Robin Thicke continues to attract attention, and scrutiny, from all angles. The provocative music video for his smash single "Blurred Lines," after which the album is titled, has catapulted his career to new heights. Whether or not it's been a positive boost is up for debate. While the video caught the attention of viewers worldwide, many criticize Thicke for his decision to include naked models dancing around himself and fellow recording artists T. I. and Pharrell Williams. There's been a back and forth between the R&B singer and his critics since the video went viral and there's no end in sight.
Many "Blurred Lines" criticisms revolved around words such as "misogynistic," "belittling" and even rapey,” but fans and critics alike are also curious of how the star model, the brunette everyone fell in love with, dubbed the “girls who stole summer,” Emily Ratajkowski, took to the video's fame and infamy.
In a recent interview with HollywoodLife.com, the 22-year-old model shared her thoughts on how the video may or may not have affected Thicke’s relationship with his wife Paula Patton.
“They are obviously in love. I mean, look at how long they have been together,” Ratajkowski said. Thicke and Patton have been dating since they were 16-years-old and got married back in 2005. Patton has also voiced, on several occasions, how she endorsed the video from the get go and pushed her husband to release the explicit version.
Ratajkowski even had the pleasure to meet the singer’s wife and son during the shoot. “I did meet her and I met their amazing son. He is adorable and that is one of the cutest little boys I ever met in my life. It’s a warm family,” she said.
So no matter how many relationships would likely crumble under such heavy and skeptic circumstances, Patton and Thicke’s prevailed. They’re unstoppable, no matter what the critics have to say.
