  1. her mother sounds like a real piece of work (i.e. a pos)

    disgusting this was even allowed to happen

    This is absolutely disgusting to read about a 9 year old CHILD

    The fact that they were writing about her like that I’m grossed out 😭🤮

    Her documentary Pretty Baby is heartbreaking, if anyone has seen it. The way she was treated was disgusting

    This is so sad. I can’t imagine exploiting my child like this. I wonder if there’s still a relationship between the two. I know based on interviews that Brooke is close with her own daughters, so I’m glad she didn’t repeat this cycle.

  5. “I’ve met Jonathan before. He’s 26. But he is far out and I will enjoy going out with him,” said Brooke as she left, her big eyes still smouldering.”

  6. She was only 10 when she was photographed naked and oiled in a bathtub for Playboy magazine, all consented by her mother. It is deeply disturbing how she was treated.

  7. The fact that Brooke has turned out so normal and OK (publicly anyways) after such a traumatic childhood is a miracle

  8. Her documentary broke my heart. She is really well adjusted considering what she went through as a child thanks to her shitty mom. Her mom would have her do anything if it meant she’d get a buck and put her in so much danger. The fact that she was at Studio 54 when she was a literal child just goes to show she was exposed to things no child should be and she was not protected from industry predators.

    You Must Remember This podcast has a great episode on the exploitation of Brooke Shields around the Blue Lagoon times. It’s one of the Erotic 80s series.
