Emily Ratajkowski
This past weekend, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin launched an all-female crew into suborbital space in what was marketed as a historic mission celebrating women’s achievements. The roster included familiar celebrity names such as Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn. The ten-minute joyride was promoted as a feminist milestone.
But for model and outspoken activist Emily Ratajkowski, the glittering optics of the launch couldn’t mask what she sees as its underlying rot: environmental irresponsibility, performative feminism, and grotesque wealth flexing.
In a no-holds-barred TikTok rant that quickly went viral, Ratajkowski made her stance crystal clear. “I’m disgusted. Literally disgusted.”
“You Care About Mother Earth, But You’re Boarding Bezos’ Rocket?”
Ratajkowski, known for blending glamour with sharp political commentary, delivered a fiery critique that cut through the slick PR veneer of the mission. “That space mission this morning? That’s end-times s**t,” she said in the video, her tone equal parts incredulous and incensed. “Like, this is beyond parody.”

Her central grievance was not with the women themselves, but with the broader messaging and more importantly, the source of the money and materials behind the launch.
“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 is single-handedly destroying the planet?” she questioned, referring to Blue Origin’s parent company Amazon and its notorious environmental footprint. “Get the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what?”
Ecofeminism Meets Capitalist Spectacle
While the mission was framed as inspirational, with six women soaring toward the stars, critics like Ratajkowski argue that it reeks more of empty symbolism than substance.
“You want to uplift women? Start with the ones down here on Earth,” a top-liked comment on her video reads. Ratajkowski echoed that frustration in her own words, saying, “This is beyond parenting. This is about accountability. You’re not some ethereal goddess of empowerment because you rode a billionaire’s rocket for 10 minutes.”

There’s a deeper sting here that points to a well-worn pattern of corporate greenwashing and tokenism. Dress it up in empowerment, slap on some hashtags, and the public relations team calls it a day. But to those paying attention, it’s nothing short of dystopian performance art.
Olivia Wilde, Olivia Munn, and the Celebrity Clapback
Ratajkowski wasn’t the only one who noticed the dissonance.
Olivia Wilde posted a scathing Instagram Story featuring Katy Perry kissing the ground after the flight, with the caption: “A billion dollars bought some good memes, I guess.”
