BrookeShields reveals she was the victim of a sexual assault
The actress is the star of the upcoming bio-doc “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields” which focuses on her life as well as the sexualization of young girls in Hollywood.
“I did not know if or when or if at all I was ever going to bring this up. It has taken me many years of therapy to even be able to talk about it,” she told. “I definitely have worked very hard through it, and I’ve learned to process it. And I’ve come to a place, and we’ve come to a time in our society, where we can talk about these things much more openly.”As for her motivation, the 57-year-old actress says she was inspired by her daughters.
When asked about whether she hoped to spark change in Hollywood by sharing her story, she said she was hoping that her story could offer support to other victims struggling like her. As for her own perspective on the way she was treated as a child working in the industry, Shields recalled how little understanding she had of her situation.
