Emily Ratajkowski is under fire for pictures recently shared on social media after she sought to promote her new essay for New York Magazine.

The model and actress has been accused of sexualizing breastfeeding with  the photos that show her with a doll representing the child. An alcohol glass in her  right hand has also raised some eyebrows.

Commenting on her pictures on Instagram, one of her followers wrote, "This is so…uncomfortable. It doesn’t even seem like art."

"Alcohol and a depiction of breast feeding - classy," one user wrote sarcastically. "When your baby becomes your accessory," said another.

"Why are we sexualizing breastfeeding?" wondered a follower in the comments section of her Instagram post.

"This is some weird Epstein pedo garbage," wrote a female fan, referring to child absue allegations against the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
