Airing today on all streaming platforms.
This week on the Going Mental podcast, hosted by sex ed and mental health advocate Eileen Kelly, Emily RatajkowskFrom “commuter hair” to the reimagined 2023 version of the red lip dating to divorce and more.
For those unfamiliar, Going Mental follows Kelly as she gets candid with guests about the things that make us human — after overcoming a five-month stay at a mental hospital. Her conversation with Ratajkowski is just as raw as you would assume someone exploring life after Going Mental would present.

Ratajkowski has been very open about her dating life from her bisexuality to a lowkey solo polyamorous era post-divorce to ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. However, usually through her own mediums — so her presence as a guest is a treat for her fans.
Kelly, who also spills the tea of her personal life from time to time, applies pressure and even questions Ratajkowski’s choices in men — however, Ratajkowski quickly rebuttals with a remark that proves the public only knows half the truth.

Going Mental proves to be a true safe space that allows for vulnerability, even when Ratajkowski doesn’t deem the truth to be so pretty. For instance, Ratajkowski reveals that up until her divorce, she was in a relationship from age 14, coining herself a “serial monogamist.” “I was a serial monogamist.. Like back-to-back,” she shared. “But I really do think I stayed in those relationships to be protective and not have to deal with what it was like to be single.”
Now, that truth no longer applies, due to healing and therapy, which she credits much of her mental wellness to. It appears the episode was recorded before the internet was treated with Ratajkowski’s cheeky Valentine’s Day photos with new beau Eric Andre as she reveals on the episode that she’s seeking a partner who’s “very independent.” She elaborates: “Right now that is very important because I do have a full life and also what we just talked about… men kind of resenting you and being emasculated,” due to her success.

In an exclusive quote with Cheap Novogas Jordan Outlet, Kelly elaborates: “I think when you live in the public eye, such as Ratajkowski, it can be incredibly difficult to remain vulnerable when you are under the scrutiny of millions of people. I appreciate her willingness to be open about her insecurities, the ups and downs of her career, the breakdown of her marriage, owning past mistakes and admitting she doesn’t have all the right answers. As an interviewer, I go into every sit down with my biases, and this episode was a reminder of why I do this and seeing the humanity in each one of my guests.”
