Actress Brooke Shields revealed she was raped by a Hollywood insider early in her acting career. The “Blue Lagoon” actress revealed that she was a victim of sexual assault in her new documentary “Pretty Baby.”
Shields made her film debut at just 11 years old in the movie “Alice, Sweet Alice.” A year later, Shields played a child prostitute in the controversial film “Pretty Baby.” Shields appeared naked in the film and kissed actor Keith Carradine, 29. As a teenager, Shields played sex roles in “Blue Lagoon” and “Endless Love.”
In 1983, Shields put her Hollywood career on hold to attend Princeton University. After graduating with a degree in Romance languages, she wanted to restart her acting career.
Shields said she had dinner with a Hollywood insider to discuss the prospects of her return to acting. The man, who Shields did not identify, convinced her to go back to her hotel room while she waited for a taxi to pick her up.
“And I go up to the hotel room and he disappears for a while,” Shields said in the new documentary.
Shields remembered that there was nothing to do, so he grabbed a pair of binoculars and watched the volleyball players outside the hotel window. The man allegedly returned to the room naked, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“I put the binoculars down and it’s right over me,” Shields recalled. “Like, I was struggling.”
The actress said she was paralyzed with fear.
“I was afraid I was going to drown or something,” she explained. “So I didn’t fight that hard. I didn’t. I was absolutely frozen. I thought a ‘No’ should have been enough, and I just thought, ‘Stay alive and get out,’ and I close. God knows I knew how to detach myself from my body.”
He continued: “I went down in the elevator and got my own taxi. I just cried all the way to my friend’s apartment.”
Shields said she didn’t prosecute the sex crime attack as a sexual assault for a long time.
She told her security specialist Gavin de Becker about the sexual assault: “He said, ‘That’s rape.’ And I said, ‘I’m not prepared to believe it.’
Shields said she wrote to her sexual abuser years later, but was ignored.
“I threw my hands up and said, ‘You know what, I refuse to be a victim because this is something that happens no matter who you are and no matter what you think you’re ready for or not,'” Hollywood said. the actress declared.
“I wanted to erase everything from my mind and my body and go on the path I was on,” he added. “The system had never come to help me. So I just had to get stronger on my own.”
