The model and actress claims in her new book My Body that Thicke grabbed her while filming the music video for his song "Blurred Lines" with Thicke, Pharrell Williams, T.I., and two other models.
"I felt the chill and unfamiliarity of a stranger's hands caressing my naked breasts from behind me out of nowhere. According to E! News, she said in the book, "I immediately stepped aside, glancing back at Robin Thicke." With his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses, he grinned a silly grin and fell backward. My gaze was drawn beyond the set to the gloom. 'Are you okay?' [Director Diane Martel] screamed."
Ratajkowski said the alleged event made her feel "naked for the first time that day" in extracts from the book originally published by The Sunday Times, but she was "desperate to downplay" what had occurred.
Director Martel also told a newspaper in an interview that she witnessed the alleged assault. "I remember the moment that he grabbed her breasts. One in each hand," she said. "He was standing behind her as they were both in profile."
Thicke had been drinking before the alleged assault, according to both Martel and Ratajkowski. Martel told The Sunday Times that she informed the record company that the shoot would be halted, but Ratajkowski said they could continue. Ratajkowski also said she didn't let herself acknowledge the alleged event until Thicke reportedly banned her on Instagram, according to the publication.
