Absolutely - or drink like her mother did, or even an eating disorder... Well done Brooke! What a strong woman

@@mgparis She had/has depression. Not having a mental illness like addictions, eating disorders, or depression does not mean you are strong, it just means you are lucky.

Word is that her mother picked a beautiful man with whom to conceive a baby. She wanted a beautiful daughter. Drew Barrymore’s mom picked a famous name to do the same. They were not born with those attributes so they bred them and become stage moms. It is good to know that both Drew and Brooke grew up to be thriving women despite their upbringing.

Exactly. She was strong. Turning to drugs is weak.

Yeah, but Pam Anderson exploited herself by choosing to pose for Playboy NUMEROUS times in her ADULT life. Brooke didn’t choose to do that.

​@@user-hx7mi7ml8u So what if Pamela chose to model nude as an adult? Do you think that somehow excuses any of the abuse and harassment that she has survived??

Yeah, but women only “get it” when they reach their 50’s and are no longer as outwardly beautiful by society’s standards. Then there is a whole next generation willing to do the same thing ….use their looks to their advantage in every way until they get older and then they “get it”.

Today's eyes? It was shocking back then too. I'm 45 years old & I remember thinking it was so shocking to know what they did to her in Pretty Baby. I was a child back then in the 80's & I was like why? Wtf! Sick. I also I remember creepy men trying to say I was beautiful as a child being only 11 years old & me being weirded out by their comments... it was at church too. It normalized hyper sexualization of little girls. I'm sure it has damaged alot of little girls mental states who were around in that time frame, bc men were seeing them as full grown adults bc of that movie. They were coming on to them & saying inappropriate comments too.

Yes, I remember crazy Tom Cruise being such a complete ass , saying she didn’t need to take medication for her postpartum psychosis. I still can’t stand that man because of what he said. She was so amazing for shine a light on the issue.

I suffered from PPD twice and I’m so glad she and other celebs speak up about it. It really is a scary thing to go through and to imagine so many women are told nothing is wrong is even scarier.

@@pwallace5359 this is taken out of context Tom cruise and Brooke shields are close friends she even went to his wedding after the incident.

Brooke shields later revealed he came and apologized to her in person and she forgave him.

@@Rlrlrl1962 His words we’re definitely NOT taken out of context and it wasn’t a misunderstanding. I’ve seen the interview many times I know he apologized and that they are friends. Than doesn’t change anything as far as my opinion of him. Tom Cruise was and is a pompous know it all. Scientologist don’t believe in medicine for mental health.. With friends like that who needs enemies. He let his mask slip and we got to see the real Tom Cruise for the first time. Why would you take up for that narcissist anyway?

I remember seeing her on Friends and thinking "this is a different Brooke Shields." I loved it and I've looked at her differently ever since. She is a brave and strong person.

I think any problems she has - stem from her MOM - Her Mom is solely responsible. Her Mom did not protect her. That's the real crime here. Her Mom knew exactly what she was doing.

Well said

Yes! These stage moms and dads turn my stomach. There is something very wrong with a child financially supporting her parents. It’s happened to so many: Britney Spears, Leann Rimes, Macaulay Culkin to name just a few. Drew Barrymore was a child star and was in rehab at what 13 years old?

@@lunam7249 it’s a documentary genius

I saw her in Cabaret at Studio 54 in NYC years ago. I sat front center and told her she was amazing (she was!) when she took her bow. I didn't know she heard me but she looked me right in the eye and said thank you.

You met her when you were both kids, I take it? That's so cool! Sorry about her mom controlling her, but glad you kept in touch for a while.

Because her mother was an alcoholic and she had to deal with that nightmare.

@@shania9528 Yes it's unfortunate indeed

It did look like she wanted to cry the whole time. I was surprised there wasn’t more pushback against the adults in her life who did these things - like the director who said she was going from a girl to a woman on camera? And the fact that her mom let someone take those photos. She said herself she was more upset about the man breaking her trust but I personally would have been just as mad at him and my mother for even allowing those pictures to be created. I was really glad to hear her daughters talk about some things just aren’t right.

They seem to be the voice of sanity in her life. It doesn’t seem like her friends see much wrong with how she grew up. I heard some people praising her mother.

Is all child acting abuse? Genuinely not sure how to think of it. Just curious what you think.

@@ct6852 Not all child actors are victimized. I think if a child in show business needs to be heavily guarded because there are predators around every corner. It requires really solid loving parents that keep them safe and grounded. If I had kids I wouldn’t let them get into show business. If they wanted to purse theater and the arts in school that’s one thing but it’s not something I wouldn’t allow for my kid until their 18 they can’t navigate that adult world.

@@wendylederer367 I go back and forth. Was watching The Sixth Sense the other day and really appreciating what a beautiful performance Hailey Joel gave. And then thinking, well kids probably shouldn't be working at all. They should be at school or socializing with others their age. And then you have the Britney case where it's all a gateway to becoming the cash cow for the parents and family. How unfair that is. Just wonder how sure children can be that they're doing it because they really want to. The motivations get pretty murky.

Exactly, I saw Pretty Baby a couple of years after it came out when I was about 14-15 and I was in shock, I remember thinking "this is just wrong, this should be forbidden" 😞

and dad

Her parents only cared about the money. They pushed her into that movie and made a lot of money, hurting their child in the process.

Pls watch her interview with 60 mins Australia to see how adamantly she defends it, she says it was perfectly fine, it’s art. It was so appalling and disgusting. This trailer is portraying a whole different angle than what came out of her own mouth, sadly.

@@alanw2036 why won't the parents care about the money? So if you're have a very beautiful child, you won't use it to your advantage? Smh They are your kids for a reason to help the family in whatever way they can

@MarianneMartin -- you are so right...they are soulless; it's repulsive that some of these soulless characters see nothing wrong with their predatory behavior. Now that I understand what happened to Brooke, I'm shocked she didn't do drugs/alcohol, or that she didn't end up suicidal.

This.

I genuinely think the percentage of men that would engage with a minor after the age of around 10-13 depending on her rate of development is something like 80%. As in, without laws, I think the average man would happily, and guilt free engage in activities with a young teenager as long as she had a 'developed body'. The only thing stopping them is the laws, laws that were only created after enough horrific things were done to young girls to make them stop. So yeah, a solid 80-90%. If you look at the views and the faces of the most popular girls in the 'entertainment' industry, you'll see how true this is. And the older men get the more they seem to skew younger.

@@ekg891 just because it was normalized should not make it normal. Back then there was also child labour and slavery (there still is just not in our back yard). Does that make it okay? Btw, they want to lower the age of consent so paedophilia can be legal. WEF already advocated to lowering it to 12 or even younger. If you take good notice you can actually see how they have already started grooming and desensitizing the masses.

100%

This. Not tooting my own horn or saying I was above average but I developed early and got endless attention from boys and grown men alike from the age of 10-11. It has left permanent trauma on me. I genuinely envied my friends that had less interest/developed later. It's sad that I hope if I have a daughter she blooms into her beauty after 18 because I know it is impossible to change the state of the world and I wouldn't wish the things that men said to me on my way to school on ANY 11 year old.

@@ItsMickey I feel so sorry for you. Times are changing. Hopefully, todays gown men know it's unacceptable to chase young girls. Also todays young girls know they are allowed to defend themselves against perverts. That kind of documentaries contribute to change opinions.

Sour 🍇

@@ItsMickey oh. :/

You are right. I began to be heavily sexualized by men when I was 13 and boys my age soon after, and it never stopped, for years. It was too much to handle, super shy and private + being beautiful (nothing like Brooke Shields, of course, lol) and not even asking to be, and always embarrassed by it. And it's a fine line between getting positive (if unsolicited) attention and being sexually harassed; no one leaves pretty girls alone. Always objectified, living in the sunshine of the male gaze, a double edged sword. I even lost girlfriends over their jealousy at attention I'd get. Of course there were advantages, and I enjoyed a lot of that - men tend to be extra nice, at least on the surface. Now a middle aged woman with men treating me massively differently - dismissively - because I'm not that hottie anymore leaves me reeling. Whatever, but it's a jarring shock. My self orientation is askew. Beauty usurped who I was to the world, and that became my identity, like it or not; it was what it was, inescapable in this patriarchy. Now, I'm usurped as a human being. I realize I lack the ability to be ok with not feeling identified by my looks as my #1 character trait and that comes from the insecurity of having that lifelong beauty facade ripped off. I never really got to know or act upon the person inside, my real self. I was too busy fending off male attention and aggression and, I admit that I was also let off the hook from having to be authentic with myself or others. Trying to figure this out now, at my age - how to be a real person, not an objectified pretty face - is not fun. I am entirely lost. I think I would have been, past and present, a better and nicer and probably happier person had I not had physical beauty.

Oh, her mother was something far worse than a narcissist…

What repulsed me was knowing of male relatives that watched it. I avoide them when called pretty

@@thurston4mor I think I've seen it as a child but just remember a lot of disgust and that there might have been a r*pe scene???

@thurston4mor The scene you’re referring to was in Pretty Baby, when some disgusting old man paid to take her v*irginity. I never forgot that part. I was a teenager at the time and was horrified.

Very likely yes :( And give me panic attacks for seeing how unsafe and unprotected she was.

Yes!

Her parents were the one exploiting her.

@@Yukihanadul yeah, that’s not what I was referring to. I was speaking about the lady in the trailer who said this didn’t belong to Brooke, that it belonged to everyone.

Thank you! Boy, I felt anger when I heard that. And while her story may apply to many other girls and women, it is Brooke's story, her individual story.

Yeah I was curious to watch the Documentary but when they started with all the feminist bs and collectivism I just rolled my eyes

All of it felt/feels so wrong. And it just happened right out in public and no one stopped it.

I saw that movie in the 80's. How was that movie even legal?

But we must be careful that she isn’t puppeting her agents on what to say, to avoid bad reputation

@@thurston4mor even then though.. she doesn’t seem to see it as grooming or that she was a victim… she seems pretty nonchalant…

@@venus3200thats the worst part, she was butt naked on the cover of playboy at age 11 and half naked kissing an older man in bed in the original Pretty Baby movie at a similar young age and she grew up not seeing how problematic that all was.

If you mean the movie Pretty Baby, that was acting. Fiction, not a snuff film. She was not a prostitute, ever.

She's old now. When she was young she enjoyed it, there's even clips of her saying she was proud of her work. She's just doing this for the money, as most women do.

Let’s not forget the first- Shirley Temple.

Hardly a pioneer. That system goes back over 100 years, starting most famously with Jackie Coogan.

@@iamcasihart Shirley wasn't even the first. It goes back even farther. Look up "Jackie Coogan."

I’m glad that nothing happened to her like that but it’s still sad in a way.

@@audreynothepburn7663 Sadly, something did happen. She never talked about it in public before being interviewed for this film, but in it she describes being sexually assaulted by someone she trusted when she was in her late teens or early 20s.

I saw an interview where she talked about that too… I think it was on Oprah. I didn’t know that she did that until much later, but I had the same experience after a sexual assault my first week of college, and for whatever reason, it comforted me so much to know that, at least in part, Brooke Shields had that same reaction too. I wish it was talked about more openly, because once you hear stories that mirror your own out in the light of day, it starts to break that shame and stigma downward spiral that keeps us down.

@@janesays1278 Sending love and strength to you

yea and in pretty baby the men were bidding for her saying how can we prove she is a virgin. she was getting higher bids for being one.. messed her up maybe she felt virginity has value which is also a male construct!! :( a virgin isnt worth more! oh my God. the whole thing.

Yes, but behaving well actually harmed her in the end. We need to teach our children to speak out for themselves when they feel something is wrong. It is very clear in some of her expressions that she felt uncomfortable with what was going on, but she was too well-mannered to say anything. I wish she hadn't been so well-mannered. And I bet she does too.

they literally cant correct it! I mean its always in them even if they behave.

When have males ever been held accountable for their predatory behaviour??

It's disgusting how many excuses are made for male degeneracy. Like attraction to inappropriately young girls is "natural" because of reproductive potential, or because girls "mature" sooner. Or how men are often expected/allowed to cheat because it's just part of their biology. Either these are lies made up so that men can get away with doing whatever they want, or they genuinely can't help it and should be considered subhuman.

Who at your job had that picture?

@@Mijo1810 owned by the photographer's estate since its not sold to anyone yet and I hope no one actually buys it. Lots of different photos passed around in the art world.

That photo was considered "art" because it was shot by a famous fashion photographer, Francesco Scavullo. It was even included in one of his books. If a "regular" person had shot a similar photo and taken it to a Photomat to be developed, the outcome might have been completely different.

If you watch any old interviews with child actors or female adult actors. There is alot of horrible sexualization of them. Case in point Matt Lauer. Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock. That man was absolutely disgusting and I don't now why they allowed him to ask those questions, just creepy!

But the thing is who says she's sane? We tend to associate insanity or mental debilitation as NOT being composed..it probably and has manifestation in many other ways..she has just mastered functionality
