Brooke Shields AMAZED she ‘survived’ being sexualized as child

Brooke Shields is recalling a bad memory.

In the first official trailer for Lana Wilson's two-part documentary, Beautiful Baby, Brooke Shields broke down while discussing her own childhood victimization.

Shields, who was barely 11 when she portrayed a child prostitute in the controversial film Beautiful Baby, claimed she is 'amazed that' she 'survived any of it. '

After years of trying to 'find' her 'own voice' throughout her teens and early life, she remarked, 'I found my confidence and thought, 'I can have my own opinion.'

Drew Barrymore, a fellow child star, made a surprise appearance in the trailer and expressed her admiration for Shields' attitude towards going on with life.

As a result of being "catapulted into the world of adult sexuality" at such a young age, Shields' childhood friend Laura Linney recalls at the time that she always hoped she was "okay".

The actress who starred in A Castle for Christmas claimed that she was "just born with this face" and that she has given considerable thought to the events "that could've happened without beauty."

'Now, it's like I'm allowed to be a human-being,' she marvelled.

Brooke Shields was RAPED 

In the documentary, the actress admits that a film industry employee who shall remain nameless sexually assaulted her in her early 20s in a hotel room.

She had met him after graduating from the elite Princeton University in 1987 to talk about potential film ideas.

She claims that the man was a friend who offered her to call a taxi from his hotel room after dinner. He then walked out of the room. But, Shields claims that her "friend" later returned naked and unexpectedly attacked her, in a depraved echo of the mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein.

‘He was right on me. It was just like wrestling,’ she adds.

Shields claims that out of dread of death, she "froze" and didn't resist. ‘God knows I knew how to be disassociated from my body. I’d practiced that.’

After the incident, she says she left the hotel, got in a cab, and "cried all the way" to another friend's place.
