She reflected on her past statements, acknowledging a desire for self-protection and belief in certain ideologies during her early twenties.

The model addressed moments of empowerment and challenges in her career, particularly referencing the controversial Blurred Lines music video.

"I found that to be very difficult, and to receive kind of a lot of backlash for the moments that I step out of my lane, so to speak, and I would say that's an ongoing struggle for me, but it's something that also I face in my private life," she said.

She added, "and I know a lot of female friends who face that, who are not famous or in the public eye, so I think it's really about perseverance, and being true to yourself."

Ratajkowski concluded by underscoring the importance of perseverance and staying true to oneself, a sentiment she believes resonates with many women facing similar challenges, whether in the public eye or not.
