Brooke may have been the first and only girl to tell him "No". Totally respect and understand how emotionally mature she was to understand the situation.
It goes without saying Brooke is beautiful but as she ages (5 years my junior) I realize how much her attitude and outlook are an integral part of that beauty.
What an absurd and untruthful statement. Do you people think that you're making deposits into some kind of PC bank or something when you upvote this kind of drivel? Or are you really so estranged from the realities of your existence that you _actually_ believe it to be true?
Well, I guess he wasn't so nice after all. If he ignored her for not sleeping with him, women didn't say *no* to John John, I guess. 😕 Well done, Brooke.
Love to hear her experience about ghosting when you dare to say NO.....It happens a lot... Good example for all women, Thanks beautiful and wise Brooke.
Hold on a sec ... nobody is expected to sleep with anybody on the first date! In fact, if your serious about yourself and the person, you don't push that. Good call Brook. Standard.
Honestly, in the late 80s and 90s, my repeated dating experience was that most men in their 20s-30s believed that if you didn't put out by Date 3, they weren't ever gonna get any, so they'd ghost you (we didn't have that term back then). There wasn't much discussion in the culture about getting to know someone first, even thought I'd express that to them. You were just labeled a prude or not interested. Neither was true and it was just heartbreaking.
I think Brooke did way better NOT hooking up with him. He was not the "golden" person we all imagined. He was not-too-smart, not focused, and seemed to lack direction. Those characteristics do not age well. It is better her one encounter was just one.
Brooke survived a difficult childhood. Through her intelligence and determination she created a healthy life for herself and her family. I admire her response to JK.
When Brooke visited Brown University as a prospective student, I remember him showing her around the campus. It was probably earlier than the time she's talking about here.
I was just reading an article from 1982 when he was showing her around. I can't imagine how miserable it must have felt having eyes everywhere she went.
I admire her for showing restraint. Kennedy always had a relaxed coolness to him in public, but I'm sure in private he was just another entitled Kennedy playboy.
No he wasn't, he could've dated anyone anywhere but he stayed centered, maybe he was very embarrassed by what happened because maybe he knew she would tell all of this, he was one of the last real gentlemen.
@@sggarden2809 A gentleman helps a woman in trouble on the ski slope. A gentleman doesn't get all bent if a woman doesn't sleep with him on the first date.
@sggarden2809 he was a jerk and I am a left leaning person. Read the new book "Ask Not." The press tricked everyone with that polite John John persona.
@@christineribone9351 IIRC he put her down for having post partum depression. Evidently, his Scientology peeps don't believe in it and he was very vocal about it.
@@mariaa.5829 EXACTLY !!! We tend to forget that most (NOT ALL) of "these people" are raised with a unshakeable sense of superiority and entitlement...
This is no surprise really. About JFK Jnr. He seemed pretty full of himself. But he didn’t get this one cos she’s too smart - she was onto him. Great call on her part. Great interview. Thanks ❤
He was certainly---and very unfortunately as it turned out---full of himself that evening in July, 25 years ago when he assumed he could fly a plane at dusk without an instrument rating, and minus his instructor on board to help guide a still novice pilot. Another victim of the you-can-do-anything-but-fail Kennedy clan mentality. He still wore a cast from a recent injury, had ADD and was probably to some degree dyslexic as well. Not a good combo for a pilot at all.
Ha ha ...most famous and handsome men behave this way nothing strange...we women need to stop listing and throwing our selves at men..we don't help them when we do this
Brooke you have done very well in your remarkable life. She weighed the consequences with a possible involvement with JFK Jr. And acted in her own survival.
@@lizadivine3785 Brooke is not hugely religious. She was raised Catholic and took her kids to church to establish some tradition but the way she has talked about it, she isn’t a fundamentalist believer in any specific faith. So how does that square with the idea that God singled her out for protection? Is it because she was famous and wealthy? Why did God protect her and not others? Because she’s very pretty?
@@pamelacox4103 Exactly...I mean I do not care either way but JKF Jr is not here to defend himself and people are taking her side of the story as gospel.
The Kennedys are not known for their respect of women. Good decision on Brooke’s part not to offer herself up on a platter to him & potentially be disrespected regardless. At least this way she can say he ghosted her for rejecting him. Not for being a conquest. Smart choice. Liked her since childhood. Still do. Recently saw that Christmas movie she did and it was very entertaining. I remember her mostly from Suddenly Susan. She’s both beautiful and funny.
@@urameshi4725 He most certainly did not think she was playing games. It bothered him b/c he knew it was that she had better standards than he did for himself. It humiliated him, but not b/c of intention, b/c of truth.
She beautiful, self confident, an excellent role model for women of all ages. I especially love this interview bc Howard is genuinely respectful to both beautiful Brooke and Robin. He is outspoken, intelligent, well versed in world matters but his kindness is ever present. He loves all animals, has a solid loving marriage and co- raised 3 beautiful, intelligent, loving daughters with his wonderful first wife. Inspiring!! ❤😻🐶😇😺💛
He just wanted to get in her pants and she crushed his ego. Good on her. She kept her dignity. But she’s honest about how gorgeous he was to her in spite of his rejection afterward.
“I skied into the trees, and he wouldnt help me but he doesnt need to he’s John John” 😂😂😂😂 I give Brooke 100% credit for listening to her gut that he was a jerk.
lol, apparently so. its certainly laughable now, hopefully men mature and get better from this state...we need divine masculines and theres slim pickings
She used great judgement. Those are his true colors. PRobably would have treated her the same way even if she had slept with him. And that would have made her feel much worse.

Howard sounds just as sleazy as John in his tone of voice as he attempts to get from Brooke something she might not have wanted to give.

rubbish
Good on her for trusting her intuition, self-knowledge, and standing up for herself. And good on Howard for keeping it clean. A great interview.
She does have some mental health issues , but I don't know what medications she takes
Good on her for not getting killed in a plane crash 😂
It goes without saying Brooke is beautiful but as she ages (5 years my junior) I realize how much her attitude and outlook are an integral part of that beauty.

He probably would have ignored her if they had hooked up. Good for her!
and she may be dead if had been on that plane
All these famous women only wanted to climb with john and he knew it
Even more so 🙄
@@juke1225 Maybe Not
Love this interview. Good for Brooke for having self respect and standards
It wasn't self-respect or standards that "saved" her. She was afraid of getting hurt. Didn't you watch
the interview?
@@burgcarli929 That's what people with self-respect do. They draw healthy boundaries
Yep, she kissed a Kennedy and she liked it, but didn't get debased afterwards.
I am 💯 % so with her. I totally get what she’s saying.. and she saved and spared herself by doing what she did. Good on you ! ❤
Brooke's intelligence saved her SO MANY TIMES. Mad respect.
How many times?
It comes without saying that it saved her many times’ she is a super celeb
@@thrashinwebster How many though
Probably saved her life?
Is she a wife now?
Well, I guess he wasn't so nice after all. If he ignored her for not sleeping with him, women didn't say *no* to John John, I guess. 😕 Well done, Brooke.
Yea if you BELIEVE HER!!! 😂
What did he really have to talk to her about? She wasn't owed anything
He was not owed anything.
Although he apparently thought he was.
@@bluecollarlit how did he think that? He left her alone.
@@professionalpookie Talk? Oh, I see. You are saying he was not ignoring her ‘cuz there was nothing to be said.
He probably thought he was punishing her in some way by not talking to her after she rejected his sexual advances. What a lout.
Love to hear her experience about ghosting when you dare to say NO.....It happens a lot...
Good example for all women, Thanks beautiful and wise Brooke.
men get salty when they get turned down. i turned down a neighbor of mine and he wouldn't speak to me anymore when i passed him in the hallways😂😂
Is it ghosting if you know why they stopped contacting you? I thought it was only ghosting when you didn't know why.
Met those kinds of men, wouldn't want to get into anything with them. Wealthy and spoilt and often disrespectful to women.
Brooke Shields' emotional intelligence comes through loud and clear in this interview
shes almost 60 you would hope
She was Princeton material
Just an FYI --- every woman does what she did.
Hold on a sec ... nobody is expected to sleep with anybody on the first date! In fact, if your serious about yourself and the person, you don't push that. Good call Brook. Standard.
"you're." Sadly, he expected her to do that.

Typical Kennedy.

Both

Lefty media made him out be what he wasn't...big surprise.
JFK couldn’t handle the rejection from one of the most beautiful woman In the world! 😂
She didn’t reject him. She just wouldn’t give it up on the first date. She cared about him too much.
It wasn't rejection she played games thinking it would win her the price...women play a lot of mind games
WoMAN
She made a good decision 👏
Good for her. I hope she is having a great life. She really seems to have deserved one!
Love Brooke’s articulate emotional intelligence, sense of humour, and strong instinct. She is such a natural storyteller and talented actress. ❤
You have it all wrong Brooke, it's not that you couldn't handle it ,it's that he couldn't handle you!
She's pretty and so kind hearted. Love watching Brooke Shields interviews lately. A true survivor.
John John was like his dad, quick hitter
Shes so lovely. Despite her childhood and life of fame she is Everywoman. Very wise and holds true to her values. ❤
Wow, I didn't realize he was that much of a jerk!
Brooke was such a good little kid and is such a great lady ! I just commend her for being a survivor
@reatres---- she's a survivor of what ?
A survivor? She's had a pretty charmed life.

No, he was so much a prince that brook shields was nothing to him .😅
If only all women had good standards, the men would have to raise their standards too. Whole lot less heart ache and hurt, VD, broken homes, etc.
This interview is really important Brooke has demonstrated how important it is to be a gentleman
How are you so certainly she's telling the truth?
Wonder if his later wife slept with him on their first date? I’m guessing no!
Have always been curious about John John. Thank you for sharing your experience, Brooke!
How do you know what she's saying is the truth
Something tells me there's a whole lot more to the story.
Brooke is so down to earth herself - love this interview!
He was a fool. Brooke was one of the most beautiful women of all time. His ego probably couldn't handle the rejection.

I would have loved to have even just stood near John F. Kennedy Jr.!! Hearing this just removed him from the pedestal I've always had him on.
I think she ruined his childhood fantasy and he was pouting. He didn't know how to handle rejection apparently.

Too fast too soon a girl gets dumped. Say no and save it for love. Real love. JJ had no manners. Good for her to not be a notch on his belt.

One-sided interview. Jr.'s not here to defend himself.

She's always been gorgeous
All young girls should see this interview.
I wonder if he didn’t look at her because he felt embarrassed but either way it was rude !

John isn't here to defend himself there's always 2 sides to every story
He interrupts too much, he should let them finish what his guests are saying.
I always knew he was a jerk...just the way he carried himself, all cocky. Good for you Brooke!!!
Brooke has always been a class act.
She used great judgement. Those are his true colors. PRobably would have treated her the same way even if she had slept with him. And that would have made her feel much worse.

Just lost some respect for John.
Same

How do you know what she's saying is the truth
JFK Jr probably wasn't into her bc she's too naive & coy. So it's a good thing she didn't put out, bc he wouldn't had called either way.
Very wise girl if she slept with him, she will definitely punish her self for a long time
Forever LOVE Brooke!
Brooke was so smart for that! 👏
Telling this story decades after he's not around to tell his side 🙄
She's so lovable.
