Emily Ratajkowski speaks out about the Trump trial
Emily Ratajkowski sends a message to Donal Trump with her fashion choice


Emily Ratajkowski is known for using fashion to make political statements
Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records. How did model Emily Ratajkowski react? She wore a black T-shirt from Platform; the artist-driven brand by famous gallerist David Zwirner.
The tee is emblazoned with a depiction of porn actress and director Stormy Daniels by renowned cartoonist R. Crumb. Ahead of the 2016 election, Daniels was allegedly paid $130,000 (£104,000) in hush money from Trump’s former lawyer in exchange for her silence about having sex with the now-disgraced politician. Yesterday, Trump was found guilty of buying Daniels’ silence, but he still denies having had any sexual contact with Daniels.
The limited-edition T-shirt—one of the site’s most popular items—retails for $95 (£75), and 10% of all sales go to Safe Horizon, a New York organisation that supports victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Ratajkowski also scribbled the words “fuck Harvey” on her arm when she attended the 2019 premiere of Uncut Gems. The statement referenced the Me Too movie triggered by the exposure of film mogul and now-convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein. More recently, the model took to X, formerly Twitter, to condemn Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs with the words ‘Monster’ after leaked video surveillance showed him brutally attacking then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
