BROOKE SHIELDS EXPERIENCED BODY-SHAMING, BUT HER HUSBAND HAD A GREAT RESPONSE.

Brooke Shields is a very famous actress and is admired for her beauty. However, she is now talking about some unfair criticism she has faced in her life.

Brooke Shields is not only a successful actress but also a well-known supermodel. She has achieved a lot in both the fashion world and in movies because of her talent and beauty.

The famous beauty, who is 57 years old, has faced some people trying to diminish her success. Now, she’s talking about her relationship with her mother, Teri, who was also her manager since she was a child.

Her mother was not always supportive. The actress remembers, “My mother would get drunk and say: ‘Why don’t you move your fat ass?’ So, I’ve always believed I had a fat ass.” She faced body-shaming from her own mother, and it affected how she saw herself.

In 2012, her mother passed away after struggling with alcoholism throughout her life. However, the hurtful remarks her mother made stayed with the actress, and it took years for her to heal from the damage.

In the end, it was her husband, Chris Henchy, whom she has been married to for 17 years and works as a screenwriter, who helped her accept and appreciate her body. He made her see her own beauty.

She shared, “I would walk backwards out of rooms, and he’d say: ‘No, I want to grab onto you.’” Shields explained that he truly celebrated her womanliness and her body. “And I needed a man to celebrate me.”

Before Chris Henchy, she was married to Andre Agassi from 1997 to 1999. Shields became famous in Hollywood when she was a teenager, but it was her iconic Calvin Klein jeans ad, shot by Richard Avedon in 1980, that turned her into the icon she is today.

Even though everyone thought the actress was beautiful, she faced criticism. She started modeling swimsuits when she was just 15, and even then, she didn’t feel like she had the perfect swimsuit body. People described her as “athletic” and “not super skinny,” and those comments stuck with her.

A few years ago, she did another swimsuit campaign with Calvin Klein. She dedicated herself to the role and worked hard to look her best. She stopped drinking beer and wine, exercised three times a week, and became the best version of herself. But even then, she felt hungry.

It’s surprising to learn that someone as gorgeous as Brooke Shields had her own insecurities. Even though the world saw her as beautiful, her mother and others tried to make her feel less than.

It’s comforting to know that her husband countered her beliefs and reminded her of how beautiful she is, helping her accept her body.

Recently, the actress opened up about a sexual assault that happened more than 30 years ago. In a recent interview with People, Shields revealed that a Hollywood executive assaulted her shortly after graduating from Princeton University.

Back then, she blamed herself, but over the decades, she has had time to understand what happened. She said, “I’m more angry now than I was able to be then. If you’re afraid, you’re rightfully so. They are scary situations. They don’t have to be violent to be scary.”

This is the first time Brooke Shields, who used to be a model and is now an actress, has talked about being a victim of sexual assault. She didn’t share her story before because people didn’t believe these stories back then, and she was afraid it would ruin her career.

Her story, unfortunately, is not uncommon in Hollywood. More details about what happened to her will be revealed in a two-part documentary called “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” which is set to be released soon. Shields said, “Doing the documentary, you see it all together, and it’s a miracle that I survived.”

After graduating from Princeton University, Shields was in a tough spot in her career. She met with a Hollywood executive for dinner, thinking he might offer her a movie or a job. But after the meal, he invited her to his hotel room and sexually assaulted her, using the excuse of calling a cab from his room.

“I didn’t fight,” she said. “I just froze.”

After the assault, Shields felt really guilty and blamed herself. She kept saying, ‘I shouldn’t have done that. Why did I go up with him? I shouldn’t have had that drink at dinner.’

At that time, Shields only told one person about what happened, her close friend and one-time security consultant Gavin de Becker. But now she’s ready to share her story “with the hopes of helping people not feel alone.”

“Everybody processes their own trauma on a different timeline. I want to be an advocate for women to be able to speak their truth.”
