Celeste Barber Says Emily Ratajkowski Still Has Her Blocked Over Parody Posts: 'Please Have a Sense of Humor'

In a new podcast interview, the Australian comedian says it's 'annoying' that Ratajkowski hasn't unblocked her

Celese Barber is sending out a plea to Emily Ratajkowski.

On a new episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the 42-year-old Australian comedian says that she was blocked by Ratajkowski "years ago" because the model and actress, 33, wasn't happy with Barber's parodies of her.

The comedian gained a massive social media following thanks to her side-by-side photos and videos comparing herself to other women in the entertainment industry. Ratajkowski has been featured in the series numerous times.

"I didn't know for a really long time because people send me her photos. When you're blocked, you can't see their stuff," Barber told host Amanda Hirsch on the Tuesday, August 6 episode. "But it's also the internet, it's not hard to find stuff."

She continued, "So I was posting and then I found out that she had blocked me and she didn't like it. So I was like, 'Oh, that's boring. Oh, now I can't do it. Oh, come on, please have a sense of humor. Please have a sense of humor. Oh, you don't? Okay, I'll stop.'"

Barber also said that "a few months ago" she made an Instagram Stories post in which she hashtagged Ratajowski's name and asking her to unblock her. "But she hasn't. It's annoying," the comedian added.

Hirsch asked the comedian if she was surprised that Ratajkowski was offended by her content.

Barber replied, "I think when you're used to living in a world that when you walk down the street the seas part for you because you're incredibly attractive and you are in that body and you are absolutely owning that body and putting it out there and absolutely, I'm not surprised that when someone comes along and goes 'Oh my f---ing god, that's a lot. Hang on. This makes a lot of us feel really sh-t. I want to do something about this,' I'm not surprised that she's like, 'I want none of it. I am used to living in this world and I won't have anyone make fun of it.'"

In 2022, the comedian told PEOPLE that her parody posts "stemmed from insecurities."

"Especially because I voluntarily, blatantly compare myself with the industry," she said.

Despite any negative feedback she might receive, Barber said she focuses on the positive reactions from fans. "You just kind of fake it 'til you find it," she said. "The feedback that I get really helps with my confidence, for sure. Because I only read positive remarks. Any negative ones, it's like that didn't happen. Just drink your Kool-Aid, Celeste. It's amazing."
