Kate Upton says she felt totally objectified after her first Sports Illustrated cover debuted in 2012.
The supermodel tells the September issue of Elle, “After my first Sports Illustrated cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. Every single guy I met was either married or about to be married, and I felt like I was their bachelor present or something.”
Upton adds, “I’m not a toy, I’m a human. I’m not here to be used. I am a grown woman, and you need to figure your sh*t out.”

The beauty says she refuses to accept this kind of treatment, sharing, “People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It’s actually funny.”
“I’m always like, I’m about to pull something on you, and you’re so focused on thinking I’m dumb you’re not even going to know,” offers Upton.
The mag hits newsstands on August 20.
