‘Disgusted’ Emily Ratajkowski accuses Blue Origin space trip of ‘destroying the planet’ in fiery rant after star-studded space mission
“That space mission this morning? That’s end time s–t. Like, this is beyond parody,” the model told her TikTok followers in a selfie-style video filmed in the car.
“That you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s singlehandedly destroying the planet?”
Ratajkowski, 33, urged her fans to “look at the state of the world” and “think about how many resources went into putting these women into space,” wondering, “For what? What was the marketing there?”
She concluded her rant by saying how “disgusted” she is by the whole thing.
Blue Origin is owned by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, was joined by pop star Katy Perry, broadcast journalist Gayle King, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn for the roughly 10-minute voyage.
The ladies made the trip in full glam and custom blue uniforms designed by Sánchez.
Like Ratajkowski, Munn also wondered whether “all that rocket fuel is good” for the environment, noting that there are “a lot of resources being spent” on the journey.
