The 31-year-old model and author opened up about her decision to quit acting while speaking to Los Angeles Times for a new interview.
Emily made her big screen debut in the 2014 movie Gone Girl and she was also seen in 2015′s We Are Your Friends and 2018′s I Feel Pretty. She shot to fame in 2013 after appearing in the music video for Robin Thicke‘s “Blurred Lines.”
So, what happened?
“I didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m an artist performing and this is my outlet.’ I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, ‘Does she have anything else other than her [breasts]?’” Emily said.
Emily hoped to become a “serious actress” after appearing in Gone Girl, but she eventually fired her agent, commercial rep, and manager by 2020.
“I didn’t trust them. I was like, ‘I can handle receiving phone calls. I’m gonna make these decisions. None of you have my best interest at heart. And you all hate women,’” she said.
Emily told the outlet that her last audition was for the Oscar-nominated movie Triangle of Sadness. She was up for the role that went to late model Charlbi Dean.
