Brooke Shields thread (maybe TW eventually)

[Bookshelves]

Some of us were talking about her Pretty Baby doc on Hulu. I still haven’t finished the first episode, but I’m starting the thread because I just saw this (IG reel) of her discussing dating (and kissing) JFK Jr.

It sounds like her relationship with Michael Jackson got very strange too

[Hotcoconuts82]

I trying to figure out how to put in words my thoughts on her early work (i.e. nude scenes at a minor)

She seems to acknowledge that it was wrong but not as scandalized by it as maybe she should be? Like, I think it straight up CSAM. But I get the sense that she still thinks of it as art.

I got through almost the entire first episode but then had to take a break. It's a lot. It's shocking she turned out as normal and well adjusted that she is (or at least I think she is).

Yes. So strange.

I started watching this. I didn't honestly know much about her at all.

[Wtfshouldmynamebe]

I want to know who the Hollywood exec was.

[crazydoglady]

I had a few take aways
1. She is older than I thought
2. I feel like the coming naked out of the bathroom was Harvey’s MO. I think at that time, someone on her team listening to her and telling her it was rape is leaps and bounds above some of the other people that were told when these stories happened
3. I can’t fathom a world in which a mother SIGNED a release for naked pictures of a nine year.
4. Such a picture of how our moms shape us and even even they are hurting us it’s hard to not just be loyal. She did a good job of telling the audience her mom hurt her while not just dragging her mom through the mud. Her dad also seems like a piece of work.

Her work on PPD is so important. I respect her so much for being willing to speak out about those experiences.

Fuck Tom Cruise forever and ever, amen.

[spicysalmonroll]

I told DH how shocking the nude pics were for her age and he said surely it's like an innocent kid running in a field of daisies and just see a hint of butt cheek? Then I showed him no she's greased up and done up and posing and he was like holy fucking shit.
I still need to watch part 2 but I'm so glad she stuck it out at Princeton.

I'm on the 2nd episode now, she is very likable and I cannot stop watching. Am I the only one that gets her mixed up with Cindy Crawford?

Was it not Weinstein? That all sounded just like his routine.

I'm sure it was.  I just like confirmation

[spicysalmonroll]

Wow. I am young enough to not have known anything about Brooke in the late 80s/early 90s, but old enough to know who Dean Cain is.

[Bookshelves]

Dean Cain was my middle/high school obsession (Lois & Clark era), and his emergence as a right wing nut job asshole has been one of the bigger disappointments of my life.

[Bookshelves]

I wish she would’ve gone into the reasons she isn’t naming the abuser. Maybe she has during some of her media appearances. I respect her decision, but I’m very curious like anyone.

[Bookshelves]

There are waaay more than one Weinstein. The field’s wide open as to who it could be.

[Bookshelves]

I really hope her H is as sweet and kind as he comes off in the doc. I really want that for her.
