"Sat next to a journalist from the New York Times last night who
told me 'Melania is a hooker'," Ratajkowski wrote on the social-media platform. "Whatever your politics it's crucial to call this out for what it is: slut shaming. I don't care about her nudes or sexual history and no one should. Gender specific attacks are disgusting sexist bullshit."
The first lady responded on her own Twitter account, thanking Ratajkowski for her support, saying "Applause to all women around the world who speak up, stand up and support other women! @emrata #PowerOfEveryWoman #PowerOfTheFirstLady."As the news went public, the Times released a statement saying, "At a party last night, a Times reporter who does not cover Washington or politics referred to an unfounded rumour regarding Melania Trump. The comment was not intended to be public, but it was nonetheless completely inappropriate and should not have occurred. Editors have talked to the reporter in question about the lapse," reports WWD. The reporter in question, Jacob Bernstein, also took to Twitter to apologise.
