Emily Ratajkowski accuses Blue Origin of ''destroying the planet'' after launching Katy Perry, Gayle King and more into space

2025-04-15

[PAGESIX] Emily Ratajkowski has joined the growing list of celebrities calling out Blue Origin for sending a star-studded, all-female crew up to space for a recreational trip on Monday.

''That space mission this morning? That's end time s—t. Like, this is beyond parody,'' the model told her TikTok followers in a selfie-style video filmed in the car.

''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's singlehandedly destroying the planet?''
Facebook is doing that? Dang!
Ratajkowski, 33, urged her fans to ''look at the state of the world'' and ''think about how many resources went into putting these women into space,'' wondering, ''For what? What was the marketing there?''
"They didn't invite meeee!"
She concluded her rant by saying how ''disgusted'' she is by the whole thing.

Blue Origin is owned by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, was joined by pop star Katy Perry, broadcast journalist Gayle King, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn for the roughly 10-minute voyage.

The ladies made the trip in full glam and custom blue uniforms designed by Sanchez.

#12 they've got rid of morons by sending them (one way) to space.

I hear Mars is nice this time of year.

"Imagine an entire planet free of patriarchy and man-caused global warming; a planet where your pronouns can roam wild and free; a planet free (for the moment) of hate, genocide and war; a planet where *everyone* thinks like you. It sounds like Heaven, but it is right here in our solar system."

We can sell this! We just have to market it right.

#10 The mistake Blue Origin made was in bringing them back.
If they'd been 'stuck' in orbit the could have used for fundraising and TV appearances and all.

Clearly you had access to a classical education, Grom. ;-)

#8 The memes and critiques have not been disappointing.

But that these rich joyless cunts are losing it is like getting three extra nuggets with your meal.
