Actress Brooke Shields said she “miraculously survived” after she was raped by a powerful Hollywood producer at the age of 20. Sections from the actor’s interview were published by the magazine. People.
More than 30 years ago, Brooke Shields was sexually assaulted by a high-profile person in Hollywood. The 57-year-old Blue Lagoon star told her story in Brooke Shields: Pretty Woman, a two-part documentary that will premiere on Hulu on April 3. According to Shields, she took a long time to realize what had happened.
“I thought no one would believe me. Then people didn’t believe these stories. During the filming of the movie, I realized that it was a miracle that I survived,” admitted the actress.
Brooke Shields was 20 at the time of the incident, a recent graduate from Princeton University, and was unable to find a job. The girl arranged a business meeting with an influential person in Hollywood, whose name she did not give. After dinner, she suggested that she call a taxi from her hotel room, where she almost immediately attacked him.
“I didn’t fight. I just froze,” Shields said.
By mentioning this in her movie, the actress hopes to help other women “not be afraid and feel lonely”.
“Everyone experiences their own trauma at different times. I want to be an advocate for women to be able to speak their truth,” she added.
