Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski just landed a huge deal for new book
According to Page Six, Emily Ratajkowski sold “MOTHER F****R” to Penguin Press. However, the publisher has yet to comment on the report. The upcoming memoir is based on her viral essay for The Cut. Insiders said publishers entered a fierce 12-way bidding war. The winning deal was reportedly worth seven figures.
Her original essay focuses on life after her 2022 separation and comes with the subheading, “After becoming a single mom, I spent several years compulsively dating. I was trying to figure out what kind of woman I wanted to be.” The Gone Girl star wrote about leaving her marriage with Sebastian Bear-McClard. Ratajkowski described that period as “compulsive dating.” She also admitted she “decided to f**k my way into a new kind of woman.”
Before the essay went viral, she promoted it on Instagram. She wrote, “Read what I discovered about power, men, sex and most importantly: myself.” The post quickly gained massive attention online. Soon after, publishers reportedly started fighting for the book rights.
The essay features multiple stories from her dating journey. However, she never reveals anyone’s identity. However, Ratajkowski also made another surprising confession in the essay. She wrote, “Before my separation, I’d never had a one-night stand.” The star elaborated, “I’d never slept with someone the same day I met them.”
She added, “I’d only slept with eight people.” Looking back, she admitted, “I thought I’d get some great orgasms and a few funny stories on the way too.” The memoir is expected to create even bigger conversations online. Fans will likely continue to speculate on who inspired the stories.
