Brooke Shields Says Hollywood Executive Sexually Assaulted Her Decades Ago
Huff PostBrooke Shields is opening up for the first time about being sexually assaulted in her 20s. I shouldn’t have had that drink at dinner.’” “I thought I was getting a movie, a job,” Brooke Shields said of a meeting with a Hollywood executive who sexually assaulted her. Craig Barritt/MoMA/Getty Images Shields said she had worried about going public since nobody was “believing those stories back then.” The actor added that she was at the “lowest point” of her career when the assault occurred and feared she would “never work again” if she spoke up. “It’s taken me a long time to process it,” said Shields, who also recounts the incident in a new documentary series premiering April 3 on Hulu. Journalist Barbara Walters famously asked the teenage star about her measurements in a 1981 interview that Shields later described as “practically criminal.” But Shields forged ahead, curated a decadeslong career and started a family.
