I remember the way she sighed as she turned away from me, vanishing. I stiffened as her presence dissolved from the living room. I can handle him alone, I thought. She was a buzzkill anyway. I sat up, erect. I started talking faster and louder. I was pumped full of so much sugary wine that I felt wide awake, albeit very, very drunk. The next thing I remember is being in the dark.
The yellow lights were switched off, and I was cold, shivering, and huddled under a blanket. Jonathan and I were on his couch, and the rough texture of his jeans rubbed against my bare legs. He was asking me about my boyfriends.
My mouth was chalky, but I remember I was still talking a lot — about my dating history, which guys I really loved, which ones were whatever. As I spoke, I absentmindedly rubbed my feet against one another and against his for warmth. Most of what came next was a blur except for the feeling. Harder and harder and pushing and pushing like no one had touched me before or has touched me since.
I could feel the shape of myself and my ridges, and it really, really hurt. I brought my hand instinctively to his wrist and pulled his fingers out of me with force. He stood up abruptly and scurried silently into the darkness up the stairs. I touched my forehead with the coolness of my palm and breathed in through my nose. I felt the bristled texture of the old couch against my back. My body was sore and fragile, and I kept stroking parts of myself with the back of my hand — my arms, my stomach, my hips — maybe to calm them or maybe to make sure they were still there, attached to the rest of me.
An intense headache began to beat into my temples, and my mouth was so dry I could barely close it. I stood up carefully, pressing my bare feet against the floorboards. I shivered uncontrollably.
I was both confused as to why Jonathan had left without a word and terrified that he would come back. I listened for a sign of him as I watched the blue light of dawn peek in through the window. Does she normally sleep in this bed? Later in the morning, I woke with a vicious hangover. Downstairs, Jonathan was making coffee, and the makeup artist was already up and dressed and sitting hunched over a mug. My temples pounded. Jonathan had put up one of the Polaroids from the night before.
It was only as I sat on the bus headed back to the city that I realized Jonathan had never paid me back for the fare.
A few months later, my agent received the oversize, heavy magazine with the Polaroids printed in its pages. Of the hundreds we had shot, only a handful were included, mostly black-and-white ones.
Years passed, and I tucked the images and Jonathan somewhere deep in my memory. I never told anyone about what happened, and I tried not to think about it. A few years after my photo shoot, I received a call from a well-known magazine asking if they could help promote my new book of photographs. Confused, I searched my name online.
I was livid and frantic. New articles about the book, accompanied by images, were popping up hourly. I wondered what kind of damage this would do to my career as an actress. And from what was being said online, a lot of people believed the entire situation had been my doing. I, after all, had posed for the photos.
My lawyer argued that Jonathan had no right to use the images beyond their agreed-upon usage. When I agreed to shoot with Jonathan, I had consented only for the photos to be printed in the magazine they were intended for.
The gallery responded by going to the New York Times and telling the paper that it had a signed model release from me. Did you? I felt suddenly terrified. It had been only two years since the 4chan hacking. I found myself touching the place on my scalp where my hair had fallen out. There was no release. I was shocked. I felt my frustration grow. I knew I had never signed anything; I had never agreed to anything.
No one had asked me. I was still holding on to a faith in our system, a system I had thought was designed to protect people from these kinds of situations. The problem with justice, or even the pursuit of justice, in the U. A lot. My dad was a high-school teacher; my mom was an English teacher. I had no one in my life to swoop in and help cover the costs.
The next day, my lawyer informed me, on yet another billable call, that pursuing the lawsuit, expenses aside, would be fruitless. I watched as Emily Ratajkowski sold out and was reprinted once, twice, and then three times. I tweeted about what a violation this book was, how he was using and abusing my image for profit without my consent.
In bed alone, I used my thumb to scroll through the replies. They were unrelenting. This is only a case of a celebrity looking to get more attention. This is exactly what she wants. I had a desire to disappear, to fade away. My insides ached.
I developed a new habit of sleeping during the day. My name was written on the wall in black lettering. The place was so packed they had to leave the door open and let the crowd pour out onto the sidewalk. I saw photos of men in profile, gripping beers and wearing hipster jackets, standing inches from my naked photos, their postures slumped and their silly fedoras cocked back as they absorbed the neatly framed images.
