Brooke Shields shares sexual assault from over 30 years ago: 'It's taken me a long time to process it'
of the assault. “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.”
According to Shields, the assault happened at the “lowest point” of her career, when she was a recent Princeton graduate struggling to find acting work. At first, a dinner meeting with a Hollywood executive seemed like a blessing . But Shields says when the executive invited her back to his hotel room to call a cab, he sexually assaulted her.. “I just froze.” Later, like all too many who have faced abuse, she blamed herself: “I kept saying, ‘I shouldn’t have done that.
Shields’ story has been a long time coming, although she says she initially didn’t dare share her story, for fear of how it might affect the career she was striving for.
