Actress Brooke Shields reveals that she was raped at the age of 20: “She got on me like in wrestling”

Actress Brooke Shields has revealed in her new documentary, ‘Pretty Baby’, that she was sexually assaulted shortly after graduating from college in 1987.

The artist explains in this documentary that, when she was trying to return to Hollywood after completing her studies, he had dinner with a man he knew to discuss possible projects. That person, whose name has not been released, convinced her to go to her hotel, where she would call a taxi to her house.

“I went up to the hotel room and he disappeared for a while,” said the actress, who ensures that the man returned to the room naked. “He got on me. Just like in wrestling,” He has said, explaining that he did not try to escape out of fear: “I was afraid that I would drown or something.”

“So, I didn’t fight much. I didn’t. I absolutely froze. I thought ‘no’ should have been enough, and I just thought, ‘stay alive and get out’, and I just shut up.. God knows he knew how to disassociate me from my body. I had practiced that”, he has related him.

When it was over, Shields, 57, said he went down the elevator, took a taxi and “cried all the way to the apartment” of a friend. She claims that she couldn’t process that she was raped for a long time and that she blamed herself for the assault.

Years later, the movie star has explained that he wrote his attacker a letter confronting him about what he had done, which was ignored. “I just put my hands up and said: ‘you know what, I refuse to be a victim because this is something that happens no matter who you are and regardless of what you think you’re ready for or not,'” he said.

“I wanted to erase the whole thing from my mind and body and just continue on the path I was on. The system had never come to help me. So, I just had to get stronger on my own,” he said.

Shields, who has two daughters with husband Chris Henchy, has long spoken out about the sexualization of women in Hollywood. all after appearing nude in the 1978 film ‘Pretty Baby’ with Keith Carradine, 29, when she was just 11 years old.
