Most people, when presented with photos of a lingerie-clad Emily Ratajkowski covered in strands of pasta, would think, “You know, I could go for a bite right now.”
Not Piers Morgan.
British media personality and frequent Ratajkowski critic Morgan once again took aim at model/actress Ratajkowski on Tuesday, calling her to task for saucily posing in her scanties, canoodling with some noodles.
“This is Emily Ratajkowski ‘promoting feminism,'” Morgan tweeted, along with a collage of the images, on Tuesday. “Somewhere, Emmeline Pankhurst just vomited.”
Morgan was referring to the leader of the British suffragette movement, who died in 1928 and, to TheWrap’s knowledge, never posed in her underwear while covered in spaghetti.
Ratajkowski herself posted images from the shoot, which was for the annual Love advent calendar, on her Instagram account over the weekend.
“Taking my love of pasta to new heights for #LOVEADVENT2017 the wait Is over!” Ratajkowski wrote.
Clearly, Morgan wasn’t in love with the images. But then again, Morgan has frequently called out Ratajkowski for her particular brand of clothing-deficient feminism.
In July 2016, Morgan called out Ratajkowski for a Lady Godiva-themed photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar.
“Do you want me to buy you some clothes? You look freezing.” Morgan wrote.
“@piersmorgan thanks, but I don’t need clothes as much as you need press,” Ratajkowski shot back.
That back-and-forth was preceded by an incident during which Morgan took aim at “Gone Girl” actress Ratajkowski and her friend Kim Kardashian after the two posed topless on social media back in March.
“Just a thought @KimKardashian @emrata – but you could always try wearing a little dignity?” Morgan huffed at the time, adding, “RIP feminism.”

Emily Ratajkowski Gets Naked, People Get Angry: A Puzzling Timeline (Photos)
When model/actress Emily Ratajkowski ditches her clothes, things heat up -- including it seems, people's tempers. Read on for a history of Ratajkowski's tendency to spark anger with her nudity.
The Bare Facts: Ratajkowski busted onto the scene big-time in 2013, loaning her breasts to the video for the Robin Thicke tune "Blurred Lines." And unlike the song itself, nobody doubted their authenticity.
So Who's Complaining? A lot of people, actually. Like the song, the video was branded by some as sexist.
The Bare Facts: In a show of naked sisterhood with Kim Kardashian, Ratajkowski posed for a topless selfie with the reality TV queen in March, featuring both women sans blouses and flipping the bird.
So Who's Complaining? Media personality Piers Morgan, who took to Twitter and hissed, “Just a thought @KimKardashian @emrata – but you could always try wearing a little dignity?" The pundit added, "RIP Feminism."
The Bare Facts: In July, Ratajkowski appeared nude in a photo shoot as Lady Godiva for Harper's Bazaar. The spread was acompanied by an interview with Ratajkowski by feminist author Naomi Wolf.
So Who's Complaining? Morgan, again, who tweeted in response to the photos, "Do you want me to buy you some clothes? You look freezing.”
The Bare Facts: Photographer Jonathan Leder prepares to release a book of photos he shot of Ratajkowski in 2012. The book, slated for a Dec. 2016 release, features numerous photos of Ratajkowski in various states of undress.
So Who's Complaining? In a shocking twist that perhaps nobody saw coming, Ratajkowski herself. In a multi-part Twitter vent, Ratajkowski groused that the photos are being used without her permission, and called the book "a violation."
The Bare Facts: Viacom was hit with a lawsuit after a photo of Ratajkowski was published in an article on the website MTV.it titled "Emily Ratajkowski: HOT Pictures.”
So Who's Complaining? New York-based photographer Steve Sands filed the lawsuit against Viacom claiming unauthorized use of the photo. Alleging copyright infringement, the suit seeks unspecified damages and Viacom’s profits from the photo, or, alternatively, “statutory damages up to $150,000 per work infringed.”
The Bare Facts: Ratajkowski showed her love affair with food as we all would in our weaker moments, by wearing some lingerie and writhing around in some saucy spaghetti for Love Magazine.

So Who's Complaining? Who else? Piers Morgan, and by extension, turn of the 20th Century British suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, who Morgan said in an angry tweet must be somewhere vomiting. Days later on "Good Morning Britain," Morgan called Ratajkowski a "global bimbo," stunned that she posts photos of herself in the name of feminism. Morgan's co-host Susanna Reid suggested he has a "personal vendetta" against the actress.
