The video’s director, Diane Martel, said she witnessed the incident and “screamed” at Thicke, questioning his behaviour. “I didn’t react – not really, not like I should have.” “I pushed my chin forward and shrugged, avoiding eye contact, feeling the heat of humiliation pump through my body,” she said. Ratajkowski said Thicke’s actions made her feel “naked for the first time that day” but she had been “desperate to minimise” the incident. My head turned to the darkness beyond the set.” He smiled a goofy grin and stumbled backward, his eyes concealed behind his sunglasses. “I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke.
