Brooke Shields was also sexually abused as a young actress. As the 57-Year-old of the magazine "People" said, she reported the attack more than 30 years ago, but not. She was afraid of being labeled a liar.
"I'm angrier today than I could have been then," Shields said. At the time of the assault, the actress had just graduated from Princeton University and was looking for roles.
After dinner, a Hollywood producer offered to call her a taxi from his hotel room. There he attacked the actress. "I didn't fight back, I just froze," she recalled in the film documentary "Brooke Shields: Pretty Baby", which can be seen in two weeks on the American platform Hulu.
In productions such as Louis Malle's "Pretty Baby", in which she played a child prostitute, and the film "The Blue Lagoon", known for revealing scenes, Shields was sexualized as a precocious up-and-coming star.
"When you see all this in the documentary, it's a miracle that I survived," said the actress, who now runs the wellness platform "Beginning is Now".
