A few weeks prior, photographer Jonathan Leder released a photobook featuring Emily Ratajkowski. Full of nude, never-before-seen Polaroids of the model, it’s now been revealed that the book was allegedly published without her permission. Taking to her personal Twitter account, Ratajkowski slams photographer Jonathan Leder, expressing her outrage at the misuse of the shots taken back in 2012. Check out the full disagreement below.

Leder used the photos in the book titled Leder/Ratajkowski which is currently being sold for $80 USD. Ratajkowski claims she had not voiced her opinion until now because she didn’t want to give Leder extra publicity.

To be clear: I signed no release & was not paid. That said, the legal side of this is private and I would appreciate it if people waited…
