The carousel began with a short clip of the supermodel twerking in the middle of an NYC bodega next to several rows of chips.
Fans who swiped left to see the second picture laid eyes on the Gone Girl actress wearing a hijab in what appeared to be a mosque.
The next picture featured Emily wearing a white shirt pulled up to the top but cropped enough to keep the picture Instagram-safe.
As for the last picture, the model chose a snap of herself walking down a street with her son Sylvester Apollo Bear, whom she shares with ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard.
Many slammed her choice of pictures that came after the twerking video, calling it, “Kinda cringe”

Emily proudly endorsed Zohran last June before New Yorkers headed to the polls for the Democratic mayoral primary.

“Today is election day in New York and we have the opportunity to send a message to billionaires and Super PACs that the power belongs to the PEOPLE,” she wrote in the caption before calling Zohran the “future of the Democratic party.”
“The world is watching … Do not rank Cuomo and rank ZOHRAN no. 1. Make NY safe and affordable for all,” she added.

In the video, she targeted young voters and encouraged them to participate in the voting process.
“This election is gonna be decided by young voters,” she said in the clip.
“The average New Yorker is 38 years old,” she continued. “The last mayoral race was decided by 7,000 voters. That means that your vote really matters. Go ahead, get out there, we know it’s hot, but the time is now.”
A beaming Zohran chimed from behind her and said, “Let’s do it.”

EmRata has previously been vocal about the politicians she stands for.
She expressed support for Bernie Sanders back when he stood as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020.
“I’m a millennial, a true millennial,” the model said in a January, 2020, video, throwing support behind the self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist.
“I think one of the things that’s so interesting about young people supporting Bernie Sanders is that he’s not like a young, s**y candidate,” she continued. “What he says speaks so much to what people want, that sort of who he is, it’s so much beyond just one man.”
The model went on to call Bernie “extremely genuine” and “consistent.”
“Bernie has always been very clear about how he advocates for women’s health care, which is hugely important to me,” she added at the time.
