Emily Ratajkowski says photographer Jonathan Leder sexually assaulted her at photo shoot in 2012

Emily Ratajkowski has accused photographer Jonathan Leder of sexually assaulting her during a 2012 photo shoot in Woodstock.

In a highly personal essay for New York magazine, Ratajkowski says she was a 20-year-old aspiring model when she agreed to take a bus to Leder’s home in the Catskill Mountains and pose for images for the new “arty magazine” Darius.

The actress who later appeared in David Fincher’s “Gone Girl” says Leder plied her with multiple glasses of red wine while acting as a gatekeeper to the industry in which she hoped to build a career.

“I’d never been in a situation like this before,” she wrote. “Jonathan silently refilled my glass and I kept drinking. In the industry, I’d been taught that it was important to earn a reputation as hardworking and easygoing. ‘You never know who they’ll be shooting with next!’ my agent would remind me.”

She said Leder expressed disappointment with the initial snaps he took of her wearing lingerie.

“Let’s try naked now,” she recalled him saying.

“The second I dropped my clothes, a part of me disassociated. I began to float outside of myself, watching as I climbed back onto the bed. I arched my back and pursed my lips, fixating on the idea of how I might look through his camera lens. Its flash was so bright and I’d had so much wine that giant black spots were expanding and floating in front of my eyes,” she said.

“The next thing I remember is being in the dark,” she wrote.

They were on a couch with Leder quizzing her about her boyfriends, she said. It was very cold, and she huddled next to him for warmth, she recalled.

“Most of what came next was a blur except for the feeling,” she wrote. “I don’t remember kissing, but I do remember his fingers suddenly being inside of me.”

She described the penetration as shocking and painful.

“It really, really hurt,” she wrote. “I brought my hand instinctively to his wrist and pulled his fingers out of me with force. I didn’t say a word. He stood up abruptly and scurried silently into the darkness up the stairs.”

Attempts to reach Leder directly and through his lawyer and publisher were not immediately successful Tuesday.

After Leder published some of the images in Darius magazine as planned, he later published a limited edition “art book” and held a gallery exhibition based on other, more revealing images taken during the shoot.

Ratajkowski, 29, opposed the book and exhibition, saying she never signed a model consent agreement giving him unlimited rights over her image. She sent him a cease-and-desist stating she only authorized him to use photographs for a one-time publication in Darius, she said.

“Ms. Ratajkowski consented to being photographed by Mr. Leder without restriction and her statements to the contrary are false and self-serving,” Leder’s lawyer wrote in a letter posted on his book publisher’s website.

“Ms. Ratajkowski and her agent were well aware that Mr. Leder was known as an art photographer who specialized in nude photography and sold his work as limited edition art prints,” the December 2016 letter from lawyer Nancy Wolff said.

In her essay, Ratajkowski said she considered suing Leder, but she worries the fight would simply drain her resources with little payoff, considering the images already are on the internet.

“Eventually, Jonathan will run out of ‘unseen’ crusty Polaroids, but I will remain as the real Emily; the Emily who owns the high-art Emily, and the one who wrote this essay, too,” she wrote. “She will continue to carve out control where she can find it.”
