Emily Ratajkowski puts on an animated display at the U.S Open as she joins Justin Theroux to watch the men’s singles final
Emily Ratajkowski couldn’t contain her excitement as she watched the men’s singles final at the U.S Open on Sunday.
The model, 32, settled in alongside Justin Theroux, 52, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center as they watched Novak Djokovic win his record 24th Grand Slam title after he beat Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.
The Vogue cover star put on a very animated display during the game, looking visibly shocked by the action on the court.
She was dressed to impress for the game, opting for a strapless grey dress with black knee-high boots.
Sitting by the pair were actress Lea Michele and her husband Zandy Reichm who wound up sitting behind comedienne Ziwe Fumudoh.
Michele, 37, and her 40-year-old businessman husband were seated at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York City, and it was revealed she was sitting behind Ziwe, 31.
It’s unclear if they interacted during the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, though Watch What Happens Live producer Frank Costa certainly was curious.
‘Lea Michele sitting behind Ziwe and Emily Ratajkowski at the US Open. I need a full breakdown of any & all interactions,’ Costa tweeted with a photo of them.
The outing came just nine months after an interview Ziwe conducted on her Showtime series with Glee co-star Amber Riley, where they discussed whether or not Michele was racist.
Back in December 2022, Ziwe had Glee star Amber Riley on as a guest on her Showtime series simply titled Ziwe.
A few years earlier, another Glee co-star, Samantha Ware, responded to a tweet Michele made to support Black Lives Matter after the murder of George Floyd.
Ware stated, ‘LMAO remember when you made my first television gig a living hell?!?! Cause I’ll never forget.
‘I believe you told everyone if [you] had the opportunity you would ‘s**t in my wig!’ Amongst other traumatic microagressions that made me question a career in Hollywood…’
After Ware’s tweet, Riley was on Instagram Live, where she said, ‘I’m not going to say that Lea Michele is racist. That’s not what I’m saying. That was the assumption because of what’s going on right now in the world and it happened toward a Black person.’
During the December 2022 interview, Ziwe asked Amber Riley, ‘Now, speaking of getting down in the muck, you said that one of your famous coworkers wasn’t racist. Did you mean that she was?’
Riley took a few moments to try and figure out how to respond, before asking Ziwe politely to move on to the next question, adding, ‘I don’t know how to answer that.’
Riley then said she wasn’t sure what co-worker Ziwe was referring to because she had so many, when she played the video of Riley saying she didn’t think Lea Michele is racist.
Ziwe then asked, ‘Would you say that your famous coworker doesn’t see race and is, in fact, rude to all of her coworkers?’
‘I think that she would probably say she doesn’t see race. But as we discussed earlier, everyone does,’ Amber diplomatically replied.
