Model and podcast host, Emily Ratajkowski, has shared that she didn’t expect the video of her kissing Harry Styles to go viral and cause so much buzz.
Following his back-to-back tour concerts in the city, Ratajkowski and the Grammy Award-winning singer were captured on camera sharing passionate kisses in the streets of Tokyo.
The “Gone Girl” actress expressed that she feels sorry for her friend Olivia Wilde, who previously dated Styles and was allegedly betrayed by Ratajkowski’s public smooch with Styles.

Emily Ratajkowski Didn’t Expect The Video To Go Viral
Ratajkowski appeared on the cover of Spanish Vogue‘s latest edition, where she spoke candidly about her dating life and opened up about her steamy kiss session with Harry Styles.
The 31-year-old model expressed her reservations about her dating life being constantly scrutinized by the public, tagging it as “bizarre.”
“It’s very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know and comment on them,” she told the publication, per Page Six.
She added, “This is the first time in a long time I’ve been in a dating stage. The interest in that particular area is extraordinary. I’m unsurprised, but it’s a tiny slice of my life.”
Ratajkowski made out with the “As It Was” singer in Tokyo last month during his back-to-back concert for his “Love on Tour” concert stop in the city.
Styles wore a black coat and pants and had his hair tied up in a half-ponytail, while Ratajkowski rocked a pink puffer jacket over a crop top and a long black skirt.
Olivia Wilde Allegedly Felt ‘Betrayed’ By The Kiss
According to the Daily Mail, Ratajkowski’s girl pal and former girlfriend of Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde, is unhappy and feels let down by her making out with her ex.
Wilde, 39, and Styles, 29, previously dated for two years before breaking up in November last year, and the “Cowboys & Aliens” actress believes that Ratajkowski broke the girl’s code.
Wilde and Ratajkowski still spent time together at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party two weeks before she was seen smooching Styles in the viral video.
“Olivia and Emily were friends, and this is a betrayal,” a source told the publication, adding that Wilde refuses to be dragged in the mud by the “betrayal” and is currently focusing on herself.
“Olivia does not want to be dragged into this mess, and she refuses to go backward in her life,” the source noted. “She is focused on her career and her kids and is not giving this any more of her energy.”
Ratajkowski Dispels Reports Of Feud With Olivia Wilde
During her interview with Spanish Vogue, the model admitted that she and Wilde were not engaged in any altercation and that the media is solely responsible for pushing this narrative.
Ratajkowski weighed in on the issue of “slut shaming” and feeling “frustrated” about the narrative young women face on social media.
“These approaches occur over and over again. I did a TikTok talking about it when the Adam Levine case came to light. All my algorithms on this social network showed content focused on slut-shaming a 23-year-old girl,” she shared.
She continued, “I was frustrated with how an attack narrative was being established on this girl instead of asking what happens to the person in a relationship and, as such, has contracted obligations.”
Ratajkowski concluded that her situation is similar to that of Levine’s before expressing empathy with Wilde because “she has had to suffer this situation on several occasions.”
Emily Ratajkowski Played Coy About The Kiss
According to the Los Angeles Times, the My Body author revealed that her top priority right now is not guys, even after being seen kissing Styles in a video.
“There are a million insane, inaccurate things about my relationships [that are said],” Ratajkowski told the publication. “I’m still not thinking about guys. Although, yeah. You know, sometimes things happen.”
She is not, however, a man-hater, as she stated that dating gives her a new perspective on herself and allows her to tap into her “super-womanness.”
