Emily Ratajkowski looked right at home posing inside of a luxe private jet while modeling athleisure wear she described as her “uniform” in a sponsored post shared to Instagram on Tuesday, February 17.

But at least one industry insider found the backdrop of the shoot to be an interesting choice, considering the model, 34, called a 2025 Blue Origin space flight “disgusting” and complained that it was “built and paid for by a company that’s single-handedly destroying the planet.”

“What a hypocrite,” the insider tells In Touch. “She has no problem with her own carbon footprint or glamorizing it when it benefits her with a payday!”

In April 2025, the Gone Girl actress slammed the space mission, whose passengers included Amazon and Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos’ now-wife Lauren Sánchez, journalist Gayle King and Katy Perry.

“That’s end times s***t. Like, this is beyond parody,” Ratajkowski said in a since-deleted TikTok video. “Look at the state of the world, and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space, and for what?”

She also faced backlash at the time. “Did you see all the pics floating around today of @emrata photographing herself boarding private jets? Hypocrite trash,” one commenter wrote of her rant.

Another added, “So only [she] is allowed to overanalyze other people? As if we don’t see the damage she does to the environment with all her jet trips and the consumerism she sells.”

The mission members also clapped back.

“We’ve had some cranky Yankees and haters,” King told Extra. “I’ve heard you. I’m not going to let you steal our joy, but most people are really excited and cheering us on and realize what this mission means to young women, young girls and boys, too.”

Former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, who was also on board, said in a post-launch press conference: “I wish those who are criticizing the mission could read the messages in my inbox.”
