Twitter users are rushing to defend Emily Ratajkowski after Piers Morgan critiqued the way that she was pictured holding her own baby.

Earlier this week, the 30-year-old model-turned-actress shared a series of photos of her posing with her three-month-old son Sylvester Apollo Bear.

The bikini-clad mom and her infant even had matching patterns on their respective swimming outfits as they vacationed in Turks and Caicos.

And while the photos managed to rack up over 2 million likes at the time of writing, the I Feel Pretty star did get some flak from those who felt she wasn't holding her baby properly - namely, that she wasn't supporting his head.

Emily has since turned off the comments on the post in question - but that didn't stop the critics from slamming her elsewhere.

One of the naysayers was, of course, Piers Morgan, who shared one of the snaps to his own Twitter with the caption: "That’s not how you hold a baby @emrata - and your millions of followers shouldn’t be encouraged to do the same. Happy to give you some tips if you need them."

Needless to say, the 56-year-old journalist's comments didn't go down too well with a number of his followers, many of whom accused him of "parent-shaming".

One person wrote: "What a world we live in... Moving onto parent shaming now? Why do we have such an obsession on 'how bad' other people are doing with their lives. Here's a novel idea... How about we focus on our own."

Another said: "Who are you to tell a mother how to hold her own baby?"

A third commented: "Piers it just comes across weird as f*** when you go after young women."

A different Twitter user wrote: "[Doesn't] look like the baby is complaining tho, stay on your lane, bro. [sic]"

One reasoned: "To be fair, babies are squiggly. The child could have moved into this position after being picked up."

A final user asked: "Do you deliberately hunt down females so you can teach them lessons?? FFS give it up man!"

This isn't the first time the ex-Good Morning Britain host has publically called Emily out. Back in 2016, he tweeted alongside a link to her nude Harpers Bazaar photoshoot: "Do you want me to buy you some clothes? You look freezing."

Piers Morgan has been slammed online for his "misogynistic" comments on Emily Ratajkowski's Oscars dress.

The 57-year-old TV presenter had been discussing the highly-anticipated celebrity event on his TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored - taking the opportunity to discuss some of the outfits worn at the Vanity Fair After Party later in the evening.

In particular, Morgan hit out at model and author Ratajkowski, 31, and Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer, 24.

Schafer made global fashion headlines when she turned up on the blue carpet showcasing her Ann Demeuleemeester outfit, which consisted of a white silk maxi-skirt and a lone white feather placed over her nipples.

Ratajkowski stuck to a similar theme, wearing a long sleeved sheer Feben maxi dress that exposed her bare breasts, as well as the seamless nude cheeky-cut underwear she sported underneath.

"This is not what the Oscars is supposed to be about - where's the glamour in this?" Morgan said, via The Independent. "This is like a bunch of strippers." He then added: "By the way, I have no problem with strippers but not at the Oscars. Look at the Oscars back in the fifties. It's a completely different vibe."

The controversial British personality - who continuously causes a stir with his comments on celebrities - then continued slamming the outfits, saying: "The great thing about the old stars was that they didn't feel that desperation first to be noticed, they didn't need it. Now it's all like look at my naked flesh, not even look at my talent and my glamour and my beauty."

Morgan also hit out at Ratajkowski, questioning why the New York-based supermodel was even at the event in the first place, remarking: "What is Emily Ratajkowski doing there anyway? How does she qualify to be anywhere near an Oscars party? She turned up in more clothes than she normally wears - ie not very many - but what's she doing there?"

Twitter wasn't happy with the comments Morgan made, with one person writing: "Getting creepier and creepier. Why does media insist on employing creepy misogynistic old men. The only people who listen to them are even creepier old men."

"Unusual of him to say inappropriate things about women decades younger than him," another person added.

"Simple: Elon should ban limp biscuit misogynist Piers Morgan. Problem solved," a further user chimed in.

One person took the opportunity to highlight the hypocrisy of the situation, especially since Morgan previously uploaded an image of his wife in lingerie to his Twitter account, saying: "Yet you put pictures of your wife actually posing like a stripper on Twitter." Yikes!

International model Emily Ratajkowski has recently taken to Instagram to not only share a throwback snap of herself at 14-years-old, but also an important message to her teenage self and any other 14-year-old fans.

Ratajkowski originally gained international recognition after starring in Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' music video and appearing in commercials like this:

Writing to her 25 million followers, the model reflected on what her life was like at 14-years-old, and encouraged any teenagers reading her post to "read lots of books". Ratajkowski typed:

"I used to like showing people this photo of me at 14 to prove that my body is natural. Now I’m a little sad it exists at all. I was just a kid in this picture and I wish the world had encouraged my 14-year-old self to be more than just my body."

The 28-year-old continued:

"All of that said, I do still feel like I’ve been empowered through my body and my sexuality via modeling and platforms like Instagram.

"Luckily I have discovered the parts of me that are so much more important than 'sexiness', but if you’re a 14-year-old girl reading this, don’t worry about any of that for now. Read lots of books and know that what you see on Instagram is just a very small fraction of complete and beautifully complex human beings."

However, despite receiving support from famous personalities like actress Trace Lysette, model Chantel Jeffries, and even singer Selena Gomez, several of Ratajkowski's followers slammed the "inspirational" message, calling it "contradicting" and "BS".

Instagram user jeneuhaus commented: "Still 99% of your pictures are from your body, how incoherent", along with several laughing emojis.

Another Instagram user, benwmarsh, replied: "Quite possibly the biggest load of BS I ever did read on the gram. What a shame."

A third, missdanilatimer, responded with: "This is sad on multiple levels and ever so contradicting. You’ve made a success based on your body and [you're] telling young girls to read books whilst posting a picture of your body at 14. Why don’t post a picture on reading books or talk to young girls in your community?"

User ebbyclem7 bluntly typed: "Unfollowing you because of this drivel ... You’re genetically & aesthetically very blessed. that is your brand, stick to it. Stop pretending to be a solution to a problem you hugely feed . Your swimwear wouldn’t cover most 14 year olds labia’s [sic]".

And user stellagrufman typed: "Feels like this post is very counterproductive, for what you just preached.. You’re telling us about how sad it makes you feel because of the girls seeing women all over the internet with super fit and slim [bodies] and thinking it’s natural.. But also posting that picture of yourself just to make sure that people understand that you are born ”perfect”(natural).. Instead you should show the girls how much work it usually is behind a body like that.. You are one of a thousand with a body that appears to have undergone hours of [exercise]. Try focusing on making the complexes disapear instead of pushing it further.. [sic]"

Emily Ratajkowski has revealed her reason for not speaking out against Robin Thicke sooner.

The supermodel, 30, admitted she thought speaking out about the alleged assault allegations would impact her career in a negative way, thus remained tight-lipped for years since the 'Blurred Lines' music video came out.

In an excerpt from her upcoming book My Body, Ratajkowski accused the singer of sexually assaulting her during the filming of the music video.

"Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt the coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping my bare breasts from behind," she wrote in an excerpt shared by The Sunday Times.

"I instinctively moved away, looking back at Robin Thicke. He smiled a goofy grin and stumbled backward, his eyes concealed behind his sunglasses. My head turned to the darkness beyond the set," she added.

In the excerpt, Ratajkowski also recalled how she was "desperate to minimize" the incident, which she said occurred while Thicke was drunk, and how she "didn’t react - not really, not like I should have".

As she spoke to People about the alleged incident, the model said that she didn’t come forward with the allegations sooner over concerns for her career.

"I was an unknown model and if I had spoken out or complained, I would not be where I am today, I would not be famous," she told the publication.

And when asked why she decided to come forward with her story now, she credited her growth and the "evolution" of her personal politics.

"I wrote a book about the evolution of my politics and that includes a lot of different experiences from my career and my life and the way that I felt and thought about those experiences have evolved," she went on.

"I hope people are able to read the essay and understand the nuance behind these kinds of situations."

While speaking with the outlet, Ratajkowski also expressed her hope that sharing her story can help other women who have found themselves in similar situations, before acknowledging the existence of a "sort of a double-edged sword" when women want to "capitalize" off their image.

Ratajkowski went on to admit she hopes that sharing her story will help other women who have found themselves in similar situations.

She added that there's "sort of a double-edged sword" that exists in the industry for women who want to "capitalize" off their image.

"I think all women, we all play the game, capitalizing off of your image, commodifying their body, that’s the world that we live in and I would never tell a woman that she shouldn't but I also would hope that they understand that that’s sort of a double-edged sword," she added.

Speaking to The Times, director Martel appeared to confirm the incident took place, which she says would not have happened "had [Thicke] been sober".

"I remember the moment that he grabbed her breasts. One in each hand. He was standing behind her as they were both in profile. I screamed in my very aggressive Brooklyn voice, ‘What the fuck are you doing, that’s it!! The shoot is over,'" Martel told the newspaper. She also added that Thicke apologized after the incident.

The Sunday Times adds that "multiple attempts were made to contact Thicke's representatives" with regards to Ratajkowski's allegations, but the publication received no response.
