“I look back at myself, this innocent person, and I think, 'Gosh, she's okay.' I handled a lot, and I'm still here.” - Brooke Shields! Watch the exploitation of Anna Nicole Smith next ruclips.net/video/l7w15S-ara8/видео.html
*Karine, it just occurred to me (sorry, i'm still listening halfway) ..."I felt protected" is prob. something she repeats b/c Teri must've kept drilling that LIE in her head: "I'm protecting you Sweetie. I won't let anything bad happen to you." she 🚥''d her OWN DAUGHTER!!!* 😩🤬🤯
Why do you feel sorry for her after a certain age she knew what she was doing 🤨 Plus I don’t believe she ran around with Michael Jackson like that because of a 7 year difference 🤨
My stepfather told me I should like this by now (SA) when I was about 10, I was old enough to like it. It had been going on since I was 9 months old. Sounds like the same bs
I think you're reading it all wrong. I think Keith Carradine (father of actress Martha Plimpton, who started to make a name for herself as an actress as a child/in her early teens, and who appeared in a film with River Phoenix as a teen, leading to them becoming couple offscreen) was just trying to make young Brooke feel better about the scene, and more comfortable: you know "this is just pretent/ work not your real life first kiss" kind of thing. Actors and directors say these kinds of things to child actors when they're feeling self-conscious or awkward about a scene, and time is very precious on a short and expensive film shoot, so it's important to try to get child actors comfortable and able to perform their scenes well in as few takes as possible. They haven't got forever to do take after take. He was just trying to help, for the sake of everyone. Don't forget that lots of people are employed on a film set, from hairdressers to camera grips to caterers to director's assistants etc. Trying to get the job done and done well, on time, on budget, and not run over schedule etc. is on everyone's minds on a film set.
@@SY-ok2dq it’s not about ‘reading it wrong’ those are very choice words. If he lacked the capacity to explain to a child WHY she probably felt highly uncomfortable and awkward kissing an adult male then I don’t think he should have been in a position to ‘act it out’. Actors are also human beings who can choose to have professional ethics, morals, and standards - I personally would have had to opt out of kissing a child, and if that meant losing the role then so be it. There was no reason to actually show or ‘act out’ the kiss - it could have been alluded to, or a different angle/shot could have been utilised. It’s also a known fact that abusers who groom and sexually assault children will use tropes like ‘this doesn’t count’ or ‘anything I do to you doesn’t count’ etc…
I can't believe that her mom allowed Brooke to be exploited like that. I can understand why Brooke still defended her mom, but looking at images of young Brooke in full makeup getting kissed by a grown man...I cringed. Brooke may not feel that she was exploited but she clearly was. I'm glad she had sense not to have her daughters be in any movies.
My mother always said that it was terrible that Brooke Shields starred in so many films that children her age were not aloud to see....I didn't get what she was saying then...but I sure do now!
Sounds like the mother was living her life through Brooke eyes. Like she missed her window to be a Hollywood star. Her mother should have definitely been in jail
Any adult that agrees to be in that kind of movie and behaves that way with an 11 year old child is suspect, in my opinion... Poor Brooke to be raised in such an environment:/
This was a movie about the horror of prostitution and it’s an excellent movie. There was nothing wrong with it. When I was 10 years old, we were all aware of pornography because it was in our candy store. And I was aware of prostitution at that age too. I didn’t and still don’t like pornography and I think children should not be exposed to it.
Watching Brooke Shields and Drew Barrymore talk recently, I am confident that they both understand the extent of their abuse. I believe that Brooke has been more concerned with ensuring she doesn’t lay blame on others than defending herself. She doesn’t ever want to be the victim.. I am a fan after watching this video and I really appreciate the way you presented it. Clearly you posted this to empower woman and you gave me a broader perspective, thank you!
I was about to write that a lot what Brooke Shields described sounds very similar what Drew Barrymore described- children forced to navigate adult worlds. What gets me shuddering concerning Drew was her early interview with Johnny Carson.
What's interesting is how both defend(ed) & financially support(ed) their moms (Teri is dead & Jade is still alive) even though their moms weren't very good moms & exploited them.
Those things were quite normal back then. All over books, media, clubs... those were the reminicences of hippie naive movement of the 60s/70s. The pervs were also among them but we should not look at the era with our contemorary eyes
Nope...I've seen that movie and it's for one, bad acting...but also, false. That guy also a damn fraud. Real sex trafficking is happening, but did he use all funds to continually free children and make sure they got sent to better places? NO.
That was normal back then. Young people are ignorant of their parents mentality. They will be shocked if they knew. Each era has its taboo rules. As anything in western modern societies, it changes all the time.
@@chloe41120 He made the film at least, and that is much more valuable and effective than an attempt to free those children. Money is not the magical solution to anything. Some issues just need infrormation to be spread among people and in media. It's much more powerful. BTW what have you done yourself for this cause ? Except trolling of course
Saying “this doesn’t count” isn’t a beautiful thing 🥺😭 Sounds like when abusers say “this is our little secret” “this is just play pretend” “it’s just playing a game”. Why didn’t he say: “you don’t have to do this” 😞
I know that part made my stomach twist.. and the interviewer saying “what a beautiful thing to say” wow just shocking… how can they not see how problematic this is? 😕
I'm glad you are putting this out here. I remember the movie Pretty Baby and I was shocked that a movie like this could be made. And her Mother put her out there! So sad.
@@lisajan580 He wasn't against "everything", he was against a sexual movie with a nude child. What world are you living in where tv is constantly playing children naked? You need to have your computer investigated. You're disgusting to defend pedos making onto mainstream tv.
Hearing her say how beautiful it was of the 30 year old man to make her feel like she's not being used or sexualized. All while she's being used and sexualized. Was really hard to hear and I had to pause to really process what she just said 😞
This is an important documentary. A friend of mine worked on Brooke’s first film. In a bar at 4 am Brooke begged her mother to take her home. She was so tired. Her mother just kept drinking. Obviously, she was mentally ill. I just wish Brooke the best.
Her mother was Brooke's pimp. She exploited her own child so that she could live the life at the expense of another human being. If anyone is to blame it is her, not the film industry.
@@steveskrobot5992 So basically what you just described is THE ALL AMERICAN WAY! Namely, exploiting the weakest members of society until they can no longer.
It's a shame that YOU did so much work and can still be demonitized for trying to use proper Engish. What happened to Brooke at the hands of those she trusted is truly tragic. You did a great job on this and deserve a lot of credit.
Her mother failed her, adults failed her, even she failed her. The over-sexualization for such a beautiful little girl, it is heart wrenching that she had to endure so much. Her face was her canvas not her body!! She is in fact en denial, it seems like she’s lying to herself about what happened to her.
Brooke’s mother was an alcoholic. She probably just saw $$$ as a means to have ALL the alcohol that she wanted and STILL live a stable life, which is disgusting.
You don't know that let's not just assume things that we don't know. Jumping to conclusions based off of some events don't tell the whole story. This was 40-50 years ago it's a whole lot of things change since then. 40-50 years ago before this people was getting married at age of 14 or 16 and who knows in some places the age was even less. Today we can say it's a problem but we can't apply laws of today back on a culture back then. People are allowed to dress as drag queen in the open yet back then it was illegal and if it was done it was in secret.
I really like your sensitive and kind approach. And your sweet soft voice. So sad that Brooke was clearly Exploited by good old Mom & Hollywood and is still in denial!
My god, I never imagined her photos for that magazine would be so bad.. My heart broke for her. Was there no law protecting child actors or any children at the time? How is it possible it wasn't considered child pornography?! The way everyone exploited her is absolutely horrendous.
Do you not know the difference between Art and pornography? If you find anything sexual about her pictures then you have a serious mental issue. Are pictures of cherubs at the vatican or the major churches sexual? What is the difference?
Well as far as I know this was the 70s and it was normal back then. Even nude pics of young girls were selling on magazines and all that. Maybe because the sexual revolution on media started at that time but everything was different but it was still disgusting 🤢
There is a difference between art & pornography. It is in the eye & the mind of the beholder. Also, if the photographer has credibility, they're allowed to get away with a lot as in the case of Gerry Gross & Annie Leibovitz. 📸
Brooke was my first movie star idol. I was too young to realize how sick it was the way she was sexualized as a child basically being a child myself. It's what our culture does to our girls in SO many ways
go figure Hollywood said it straight: "there's nowhere...that doesn't hurt children." - Cerce (sp) in Game of Thrones trauma makes the world go round; what it does to girls is just a different flavor as what it does to boys...all while virtue signaling "think of the children!" smh
I think her denial as an adult woman is just a coping and survival mechanism. The minute she accepts that her mother exploited her during her most vulnerable years, her world will collapse. I think Brooke will continue to deny any sort of victimization for the rest of her life. She is also from a generation and era where these things were ignored and covered up with denial just like she is doing now.
True ...I m her generation...kids did as they were told and got over things ...denial is indeed prevalent with our generation and older generations Best to her I think she is still stunning
Brooke is about a year and a half younger than me. I started watching her movies when Blue Lagoon came out. I always thought she was the most exquisitely beautiful girl. She also has high intelligence. I have followed her story throughout life. I do hope her mental health is intact now. As a child growing up with trauma, I still struggle with mine. Every day.
You must not know what the 70s and early 80s were like! Remember that the 70s were a time of "anything goes" really, in the West, and a time that saw the rise of porn films into the mainstream (think of the film "Boogie Nights") - Times Square in NYC was I think really notorious at that time for theaters showing lots of porn films, and that's something referenced in the film "Taxi Driver", a film which also created lots of controversy for the violence and also, for Jodie Foster's portrayal of a young runaway street prostitute when she was just 12 or 13. Foster didn't have any nude scenes or any scenes where she kissed men etc. in that film, nor is it romanticized that she is a prostitute. However, a couple of years later, Foster starred in the creepy film "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" , in which a body double (i.e. not Foster) shot brief nude scenes as Foster's character. And her character is the target of a pedophile played by Martin Sheen, and is seen in bed with a boy her age and it's made clear some kind of sexual relationship is going on. Brooke Shields also starred in the film "Wanda Nevada" after "Pretty Baby" in which she is the kind of love interest for none other than Peter Fonda! It's a period Western I think, and Brooke appears in full make-up. Brooke was maybe 13? It was before "Blue Lagoon."
I feel for Brooke. She was exploited by her mother. No child should be acting in these adult films. I get that she loved her mother. That said, her mother exploited Brooke. It's clear that Brooke has compartmentalized this, been desensitized, and is in a state of denial about her mother. The fact that she wouldn't allow her own daughters to do this says it all. Thanks, Karine, for illuminating this sensitive topic.
It’s hard for an adult to understand and reflect things done in childhood You respect elders do as your told Manipulation to believe what she doing isn’t wrong?? It’s horrific
I wonder how much money her mother made. They got a nice lifestyle thanks to her 'work' but was it worth it? I met a lady who had been prostituted by her parents from the age of 15 to her mid 30s (she was the worst case of codependency I've ever seen, and her parents had been physically and emotionnally abusive to her throughout her childhood, and they were churchgoers, Roman Catholics), they had become millionnaires, but she was making several suicide attempts a year and was unable to find a man who would be willing to marry her and have children with her. Only this month, a French woman was charged with pimping her 11-12 year daughter to a 70-year old man. She received 90K€ from the guy over 1 year. The guy didn't see anything wrong, he described the relationship as 'helping' that mother and her daughter, and 'treating' them. The mother didn't see anything wrong in what she was doing either, she was hoping the guy would marry her daughter once she turned 16 (by which time the guy would have been 75 - that's a 60 year age difference). The press haven't given any details about the ethnical origin of these people, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mother was of Northern African (Moroccan, Algerian etc.) origin.
Agreed, since given her natural beauty, she could have been a star and not been made to be a sexual object. Modeling for all the major fashion mags alone would have made her a small fortune! It's disgraceful!
She said what society likes. Society did not tolerated different ways of thinking and less acting. Is not clear what is more traumatizing if deviant from or be obligated to obeyed strict rules they disagreed.
I cannot bring myself to watch Pretty Baby again. It's been almost THIRTY years since I've seen this movie and it is BEYOND disturbing! The energy from this film was spiritually immoral. I will just leave it at that. CRINGE!!!! 😬 😔
I wonder if she's down playing it to protect her sanity. Perhaps the reality of what was done; is too much on her mentally. I know people like this, it's almost as if they experienced no abuse or simply act like it never happened. 🙏❤
Lord I got goosebumps and my stomach turned when you mentioned the photos of her being ten. Absolutely disgusting and wretched. This has been going on since forever. Children being abused. More needs to be done. I can’t believe the lawsuit was dismissed. Wow. I’ve always liked her, but there seems to be a sense of sadness and disconnect when you really look into her eyes.
Probably why she more than likely had a nervous breakdown around the time she had her first child whether Brooke Shields would admit this or not. Nonetheless, I think she is a strong woman to not end up being the typical troubled child star who ends up dead by 30.
@@danavixen6274 I agree, it’s quite admirable that she didn’t fall into the pitfalls that sadly a lot of former child/teen stars do. A lot of them who are sadly no longer even here, despite too her being exploited at such an incredibly young & vulnerable age…😐
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 Thank you! I COMPLETELY agree. I don't agree with her being in denial in regards to her mother being an abusive stage mom. But, Brooke's denial may be her defense mechanism. Very sad nonetheless. I'm glad Brooke is a better mom to her daughters.
1- On birthing first child,most likely things in which happened & forced upon her as well drilled into her head,under the covers of it's alright to do, cause surely she saw her mum the most remember that the other role of a model making even less than &10,000 a year definitely then the as an underdeveloped adult the side affects creep through the true cracks,there are things children go through,at the hands of adults whom are in charge of children's well being "'"all the way round"'" & when a child is abandoned -then- lead to believe the most scary horrible things they are made to do are positively normal ,how sad & sick🥺😒😢 2- If I remember correctly Brooks teenage mid years into her early shaky 20's something wasn't exactly clean & freshly cut🙄🤔😳 remember you get your parents hand me downs & there are those things we know need changing which only change of course we ourselves learn better & we ourselves 'with *help* can do better 😌 actually sends a child mind into an unbelievable level shock & greatest degree of certain types of mental illnesses sadly 🥺
Just in the same way Epstein mysteriously dies. The higher orders is society runs the pedo world of trafficking Everyone from political to law to medical
The simple fact that after Princeton that guy rapd her, she said she just “disassociated “ says EVERYTHING! All her trauma at a very young age taught her that survival technique. Heartbreaking Great video thank you 🌷
@11:00. And @9:10 she learned to compartmentalize as a survival technique. Makes me think of MK-Ultra like Marilyn Monroe endured. I think most child stars have undergone mind control programming.
I knew about Pretty Baby which is wild as hell. The Playboy pics are terrifying. She was TEN! The make up, poses - it's just sick. Crazy to imagine that the other pics seem even more explicit. WTF. I agree that she's just in denial about her mother basically pimping he rout. Her dad abandoned her, so she had to believe her mother protected her instead of exploiting her. I hope she heals.
She actually had a great relationship with her father but he was in denial about her career. Also, she clearly inherited her beauty from her paternal side, her mother was rather plain looking.
How is a grown man just ok with kissing a 12 year old? This is so disturbing. As an adult her jaw widened because she grinds her teeth in her sleep. That’s a common with people who’ve gone through trauma
@@essies4294 any good person would never act in such a film no matter how much money. I’m in my early thirties and I would never act in a movie where I’m supposed to be romantically involved with a 12 year old. Or any minor at that.
The film Malena has Monica Belluccis character,in a fantasy sequence,kiss a 12 year old boy.😢 It's creepy and I can't understand why an actor would be comfortable doing such scenes with a CHILD!
My idiot of a father took me with his friend to see that movie at 9pm at night. I was 6 years old and I HAD NO BUSINESS SEEING THAT. I understood well what was going on and it affected me in the way I thought I was supposed to receive male attention. This is why I think the rainbow community needs to stop talking to children about sex positivity, my parents liberal views towards sex ended up harming me more than if they had told me to zip it up as conservatives.
I think children should know the scientific names for all body parts and know where babies come from. Sex Ed helps prevent teen pregnancy (many Studies have proven this). I was four when I learned what sex was and when I was 6 my friend was being sexually abused (by her uncle) but didn’t know what was happening and thought it was cuddling. I told my parents and they helped my friend. Knowledge is power.
You’re dad was really wrong for taking a 6 YEAR OLD to such a movie, and at 9:00 pm?! Six year olds need to be in bed at that hour and never watching such crap!! Your dad wasn’t a good father for doing such! Awful!
Child Pornography. Why aren't the individuals who took those pictures not arrested. It's amazing that certain people of a certain shade don't face prosecution for horrific crimes.
@@cyanscrewdriver2092 in rural Utah the FLDS is marrying 13 year old girls you grown old perverted men. In the south. The Kingston klan is doing something Similar. In some states child Marriage is still legal with judicial approval, and in those local areas the judges are all in the cult. So are the cops. Disgusting.
Wow! It’s all so creepy what her mother allowed to happen to her. The fact she had to “dissociate from her body” proves how traumatic her life was. Sad thing is it’s all she knew so she didn’t realize it was BAD or wrong!
Her Mother! What about the people in Hollywood, What about our American Government. shameful This country is toward, Women and Children. And we are saying “ so sad Brook didn’t realize it was wrong. Blaming the Child and not blaming the Predators directing the Filming of a child for Pornography purposes. Come on folks .
I saw Pretty Baby in a movie theater when it came out and they didnt leave anything out. Full frontal nudity of her in one scene. Was very surprised to say the least
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and trafficking, I will never understand how adults make things like this ok in their hearts. Ever. Children do NOT understand sexuality. They understand having a body, that feels. They do not have the capacity to understand or handle this shit. So fucking crazy how people try to dismiss or make light of taking advantage of children. I feel like those people are animals that have not encountered their higher consciousness, and have no business dealing with children. If they've crossed that line, there's no cure for that. They're dangerous to children from that moment forward.
She probably has no experience of a different kind of life, since her mother pushed her in the industry as a child. It's dissapointing how these people aren't held accountable.
Why? No one buys boyplay for the pictures, it is for the articles they buy it. What issue was she in was skipped. I want to read those articles. My sister bought me an issue for christmas once. I wanted to read an article in it but refused to pay what they charge for them. It was a Rush Limbaugh interview. I thought it was funny when that miss america lady's pics came out, everywhere I looked it was women looking at the magazine.
When Brooke said she learned to “compartmentalize” she is sadly mistaken. She was disassociating. Pretending like she’s not herself is disassociation. “Removing yourself” if you will. Compartmentalizing is logically understanding when and where to expose your emotions..for instance, not bringing your personal problems to work. Don’t you agree karine? So sad
You're right. It is disassociation. But, I get how she can compartmentalize how she had to behave on the job, at home, with her mother, out with her friend Michael Jackson. Different Brookes for whatever the situation called for. But that rape was disassociation. And she said she was used to it even though she used the word compartmentalize. Which means she's been abused before if she knows how to disassociate, disappear to somewhere else in her mind to not be there in that moment. That's making me feel so sad for her. I'm 4 years older than Brooke and I know how that single mother brainwashing can do damage to a daughter. I think over time with therapy she will become a new woman and a great defender of exploited children, once she breaks out of denial, goes through all of those dormant emotions. It'll be tough. She can retrain her brain.
Do you know how old Brooke Shields is?! She had therapy dear, she dealt with it & has now compartenntalized this - as SHE said. & it's her RIGHT to do what's she thinks best. She wasn't a victim of sexual abuse - she was in a film. She knows exactly what happened & is not going to let this affect the rest of her life. She's not a victim & won't pretend to be, even for these types here, most under 18 or 20 who seem determined to do so constantly. & it wouldn't help to do so - & tbh it's a bit silly - they seem to think they "know" bc they've read about things on "the Internet" - tbh am amazed most of them don't spend their days hiding in the bedroom! (Oh....wait🙄😌) 🙏💜🇬🇧💜🌏💜
That’s how I survived - I would go somewhere else in my head & pretend it wasn’t real. I have done that for years - when older men or bosses tried to touch me. My heart breaks for Brooke.
Did her mother have Brooke to be a mother or have a source of income? I know there have been showbiz parents before her mother, still doesn't make it less vile. I'll get off my soapbox now.
No they were going to pay rent and clothing off love and the kindness of others . Her baby daddy left her mindset was that if a strong single mom . They usually relent to having men around their children
Having grown up in the 1970s and 80s the attitudes were very different. I was being groomed by an aunt at age 4 and only realised what was going on was not okay by the time I was 12. Brooke Shields was my idol as a child.When you have predators as blood relatives who needs enemies.
70s kid, yes I hate to say it but it was different. I was abused by family members at a time when peadophiles were creepy old men in long trench coats. Peace ❤
My mom told me about this and I thought she was lying ...nothing about this was in good taste.. sorry between what happened to Brooke and Shirley temple child stars need and should be having limits to the "art" they have children participating in..like what in the heck was mom thinking
So sad for this innocent child. hearing bout all these psychos trying to legitimize child exploitation makes me sick...we can never accept or get used to these disgusting behaviours. Thank you Karine for your hard work. Please let us know how we can support you! God bless
Exploited by her mother who's supposed to protect her but brainwashed her instead in believing she can be an adult whilst still a girl. Money, the greed for money. Shame on you Mrs Sheilds.. you'd exploited your little girl
I had no idea she made that movie. That is wild and disgusting that she was groom and worst of by her own mother. Thank you so much for a fantastic video
When you said 10 years old at the start of the video, I thought I misheard you and when you later explained THE photoshoot I started crying. Oh God!! SHE WAS 10!! She didn't have a mother, she had a pimp! Poor Brooke. There's no doubt in my mind that she is absolutely in denial till this day that this was going on and happening to her
This is a good review. I grew up with her and as a Black girl with thick eyebrows, i thought she was beautiful. It's amazing how the people close to us are untrustworthy. Thanks for this and all the reviews on your channel.
I remember being 12 and seeing Brooke on the covers of teen fashion magazines. I looked 12. Brooke looked 30. I stopped buying the magazines because I didn't want to be sexually attractive to grown men. I wanted to enjoy being a kid!
@@essies4294 Are you insinuating that the OP was an unattractive child? Children. Any and every child to ever exist are beautiful. Innocent and beautiful and should never be exposed to anything adult. Their want not to be sexualised, should never even be up for debate; they should NEVER BE.
Is Teri Shields still alive, because if she is, and by the troll like commenting all over this video’s comment section, I’m starting to suspect that @@essies4294may be that b!tch. (Edited: B!tch adjacent). I’ve just finished the entire video and know that, ding, dong, that witch is dead. I’m gonna say it now, I am not sorry about it.
I'm glad you're did this video, I'm a year older than her, and remember when she first became popular. I felt kind of bad for her, it did seem her mom was a stage mother of sorts. Thanks for the video! 💜
And still, no one has been held accountable for this evil mess! The men and women who agreed to act in this movie should've done time ! Made me sick! And playboy should've went under!!!!
NOPE. Saying those disgusting photos wouldn’t do “irreparable harm” was damn near incriminating. Of course nobody would blame her for it or hold it against her, she was a child. Forget canceling, how are these people not in prison rotting based solely off their actions let alone the things they tried to say to justify them. I need to see what kind of “laws” permitted child corn as art. Like this entire situation just doesn’t sit right with me from every aspect and it’s so sad. Although it seems like Brooke’s daughter may be the start to her healing. She sounds like she’s shedding some needed light on the situation that made Brooke have to question if what happened to her was really okay
I'm very glad you did this.. 2023.. I'm the same age as Brooke, growing up I was often like.. WTF. A generation of 12 yr olds were abused , normalizing sexual immaturity for 30 yr old men. And an increase of kidnappings of 12-14 yr old girls in the late 70s. Had a guy following me for a week when he came into my school saying he was my father.. luckily, my school knew that I lived with an aunt and my dad wasn't on the list. So HERO Secretary and Principal. Man was arrested at his house where two girls were in a basement party room not knowing they were locked in. One was my cousin. (End of a story that started a few weeks earlier) But these guys were stealing girls . Legit , she has Stockholm syndrome. That's why she didn't see that Aggassi wasn't concerned if her mom time, he was getting rid of her closest people.. that's what predators do.
I am just a few years younger than Brooke Shields, and remember being so jealous because she was beautiful and living this exciting, adult life. Now I look back and see she was horribly abused and exploited.
@@kendrahwhyte9960 No, no mother or father worth of the word would sell their daughter into such a project. Her mother must have been a piece of work. And where was the father.
Thank you Karine. While watching the section about her mother I had a revelation about my own mother. You helped me answer a question I had about my mom's bizarre behavior. I had been struggling with it for 20 years, now I have the last piece of the puzzle that completed the picture. Thank you!
Hollywood is full of predators and always has been, her mother probably drank because she knew she was exploiting her daughter. Recently saw the story behind Shirley Temple Black, and the things that happened to that child were just as offensive. How do we change this scenario is the question, is it even possible? Great job on this bio, Thank you!
Exactly. I was thinking of Shirley Temple also having a similar life experience with the Hollywood movie industry. How sad. Gives new meaning to the saying, “It’s a man’s world”, but her mom should have been protecting her, except she just saw $$$. Shame on her!
@@snap2115 so much of what is WRONG in society is based on greed, and correcting it is difficult cuz the allure of profits overshadows doing what is right.
The fact that any of this was lawful is enough to prove that the justice system is severely lacking and corrupt in this country. I love these videos, but the stories can be so tragic. It’s good that they’re told though. Shedding light on peoples pain has to release them from it in some way spiritually, I feel.
This woman has been through so much. My heart breaks thinking of how isolated she must be with the pain of it all. I hope that she finds healing. Her mother also seems like a deeply damaged person also in need of healing.
I agree with you and everyone here! That kind of "brooming" and exploitation is beyond disgusting. It was even difficult to watch some of those scenes. Always love all your videos!! I would love if you did a video about yourself, in the same style as you do the stars that you cover. All about your culture, early life and what you like about classic Hollywood and how did you create this favorite channel. ✨️ Blessings to you and everyone ❤️
I am the same age as Brooke and remember watching her movies. Now as a grown woman I find it extremely disturbing what her mother subjected her to. A different actress that played an extremely controversial role at a young age was Mariel Hemingway in 1976's movie Lipstick with her older sister Margaux Hemingway. Great video. Thank you.
Mariel Hemingway was 16 when she was Woody Allen's (!!!!) love interest in 'Manhattan'. He was 42. They had a kiss in the movie (for which he 'attacked' her like a 'linebacker'). When she was 18, he tried to fly her to Paris with him. Her parents said 'yes' but she said 'no' because they weren't going to have separate rooms.
Let's not forget Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, and Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane in 1976. She played a prostitute in Taxi, and a murderer in Little Girl.
@@prettypennyschannel the 70s were crazy. People say the 60s were tumultuous but the 70s movies were very strange and pedophilia was "art." So I guess the era that was supposedly settled down was actually the creepiest for movies.

It's disgusting to see parents treat thier child in such horrible way , her parents did not deserve to have children ......... her mind accepted it because realizing she was abused and her parents allowed others to just use her would be so much pain that she can ever handle
I’m glad that Brooke hasn’t allowed her past to define who she is today. She is a wonderful mother and has accomplished so much in her life.Her mother was beyond a stage mother she was nothing more then a pimp! Absolutely disgusting !
I do feel for Brooke, I grew up during her modeling and acting years. She is a year older than me. I remember the Calvin Klein vividly. I always thought that her mom was weird and crazy. What I don’t get is how Brooke is glossing over everything. I heard and interview with her talking about pretty baby, and that she said the “we have to remember the time that this took place”…I was floored, because I remember the 70’s a little differently, there were laws to protect kids back then. The industry is still the same, just a little more covert.
The reason she’s glossing over everything is because she’s in denial of how terrible it was for her mother to do this to her. She has simply tried to justify what happened so she can continue to see her mother in a favorable light
It’s not easy to make peace with your past, especially publicly. As a 70s baby, yes there were laws, but it was still much more acceptable. Molesters were creepy strangers in trench coats not family or friends known to your parents. And if you don’t have a responsible adult in your life, you’re screwed
@@thefirm4606 I had bro's older than me that I found out later in life ran interference for their baby sis. They weren't gonna have me violated as our dad hd passed. I didn't know at the time, but am grateful. I was naïve and didn't know why they kept certain family and friends AWAY from me.
Brooke is a very strong woman. I'm a mother of 2 young kids. My youngest being my daughter. I can't imagine my kids going through what Brooke did. I would have avoided everything possible to put my kids through that type of environment and trauma. It's disgusting what some parents and the people apart of the entertainment industry can do and would do especially for money. It's appalling and hearbreaking.
A bit like Elizabeth Taylor, who was also a strikingly pretty baby (as was her brother), and simply got more beautiful as she grew up, at every stage of her life.
Great job covering Brooke shields! I learned a lot. SO DISTURBING. These adults in her life took advantage of her and it was a form of abuse. So frightening!
@@VeganBambi It's her life so who are we to decide what is "weird"? We didn't live it and cannot understand her experience. Your guess is just that, a guess. She never said it should be repeated in anyone else's life.
@@ihaveacoolnickname It's not about being weird or not, what happened to her was serious abuse of a minor. She was exploited by adults both physically and mentally at a very young age and that shouldn't be seen as normal and acceptable! If you pay attention to what Brook herself said, she learned to disassociate from her body - this is a form of survival coping mechanism, when a person resorts to this kind of psychological means it is because the cause was serious! Brooke's childhood was not normal, and Karine is right to emphasize that this kind of experience is abhorrent and detrimental to those who go through it.
Another amazing video!! Thank you for the hard work and research you put in these videos ❤ Adults that play these roles opposite children need to be held accountable. It is not art. It is destroying children and people shouldn’t grow up desensitized for the sake of art.
She did not "research or work hard enough" there are multiple other movies and young girls she never mentioned and "CLAIMS" Brook to be the MOST sexually exploited child star? She mentioned nothing of Eve Lonesca who actually performed sex acts ON FILM when she was 12. If you think pretty baby was bad you will have a coronary over Eves movie. And there are others. Seriously if you find Brooks pictures of a sexual nature you have a mental disorder and are the pervert. IF you find pretty baby to be "sexual" that is an issue too. She had no inappropriate moments in that movie. You are taking the entire context of the entire house and putting them onto her.
I was a kid and even more protected and innocent than Brooke. And I knew what the Calvin Klein add meant and that she was sexualized and pretty. She knew. There was a little voice inside that tells you this stuff is wrong. She was groomed to lie about the experiences and she lied so much she ended up believing the lies. It's really sad.
Miss Karine you are saying everything I have always felt about this movie, and I have never seen it. (The movie came out during a 29 year period of my life where we could not afford to see movies and had to wait until they came to TV. Of course this one never did) I have NEVER understood parents who USE THEIR CHILDREN FOR FINANCIAL GAIN, they make me sick. I wish them Karma tenfold.
I don’t think anyone has a right to judge how Brooke Shields should FEEL or shouldn’t feel. It’s HER life to live. We ALL have our demons to battle. If She prefers to see her life from a certain perspective (even IF it’s to hide some trauma) that’s certainly HER business and not anyone else’s. I’ve always enjoyed her films. We are the same age and I was always a huge fan. She will always be one of the most beautiful people in the world in MY eyes. I think she’s handled herself extremely well despite all the controversy surrounding her early career.

PREDATOR Vibes!
I think you're reading it all wrong. I think Keith Carradine (father of actress Martha Plimpton, who started to make a name for herself as an actress as a child/in her early teens, and who appeared in a film with River Phoenix as a teen, leading to them becoming couple offscreen) was just trying to make young Brooke feel better about the scene, and more comfortable: you know "this is just pretent/ work not your real life first kiss" kind of thing. Actors and directors say these kinds of things to child actors when they're feeling self-conscious or awkward about a scene, and time is very precious on a short and expensive film shoot, so it's important to try to get child actors comfortable and able to perform their scenes well in as few takes as possible. They haven't got forever to do take after take.
He was just trying to help, for the sake of everyone. Don't forget that lots of people are employed on a film set, from hairdressers to camera grips to caterers to director's assistants etc. Trying to get the job done and done well, on time, on budget, and not run over schedule etc. is on everyone's minds on a film set.
@@SY-ok2dq blablabla aaaannnddd blablabla
@@SY-ok2dq it’s not about ‘reading it wrong’ those are very choice words. If he lacked the capacity to explain to a child WHY she probably felt highly uncomfortable and awkward kissing an adult male then I don’t think he should have been in a position to ‘act it out’. Actors are also human beings who can choose to have professional ethics, morals, and standards - I personally would have had to opt out of kissing a child, and if that meant losing the role then so be it. There was no reason to actually show or ‘act out’ the kiss - it could have been alluded to, or a different angle/shot could have been utilised. It’s also a known fact that abusers who groom and sexually assault children will use tropes like ‘this doesn’t count’ or ‘anything I do to you doesn’t count’ etc…
I can't believe that her mom allowed Brooke to be exploited like that. I can understand why Brooke still defended her mom, but looking at images of young Brooke in full makeup getting kissed by a grown man...I cringed. Brooke may not feel that she was exploited but she clearly was. I'm glad she had sense not to have her daughters be in any movies.
It must be tough to criticize your mom. I get that impression from Brooke.
I'm glad Brooke has the mind not to do the same to her OWN kids.
People sell their kids for (S) , nothing surprises me anymore!.
Exactly. Not because you can have a child, doesn’t mean you SHOULD !!!!!!
That cause her children ain't not pretty like her Hollywood

My mother always said that it was terrible that Brooke Shields starred in so many films that children her age were not aloud to see....I didn't get what she was saying then...but I sure do now!
Sounds like the mother was living her life through Brooke eyes. Like she missed her window to be a Hollywood star. Her mother should have definitely been in jail
Her mom pimped her out to exact vengeance on the father family
Any adult that agrees to be in that kind of movie and behaves that way with an 11 year old child is suspect, in my opinion... Poor Brooke to be raised in such an environment:/
Everybody In that movie is SUSPECT
This was a movie about the horror of prostitution and it’s an excellent movie. There was nothing wrong with it. When I was 10 years old, we were all aware of pornography because it was in our candy store. And I was aware of prostitution at that age too. I didn’t and still don’t like pornography and I think children should not be exposed to it.
@@elizabethfaraone thank you. The lack of context and Satanic panic response is silly.
@@elizabethfaraone you don’t have expose child exploitation by exploiting a child. You should not get accolades for that!
Yeah, did Pretty Baby need to be made? Did Lolita? No. It’s made because it is the sexual fantasy of some men.
Watching Brooke Shields and Drew Barrymore talk recently, I am confident that they both understand the extent of their abuse. I believe that Brooke has been more concerned with ensuring she doesn’t lay blame on others than defending herself. She doesn’t ever want to be the victim.. I am a fan after watching this video and I really appreciate the way you presented it. Clearly you posted this to empower woman and you gave me a broader perspective, thank you!
I was about to write that a lot what Brooke Shields described sounds very similar what Drew Barrymore described- children forced to navigate adult worlds. What gets me shuddering concerning Drew was her early interview with Johnny Carson.
Brooke a survivor
What's interesting is how both defend(ed) & financially support(ed) their moms (Teri is dead & Jade is still alive) even though their moms weren't very good moms & exploited them.
What happened to Brooke could be one of the reasons why the media hates the movie Sound of Freedom.
Those things were quite normal back then. All over books, media, clubs... those were the reminicences of hippie naive movement of the 60s/70s. The pervs were also among them but we should not look at the era with our contemorary eyes
Nope...I've seen that movie and it's for one, bad acting...but also, false. That guy also a damn fraud. Real sex trafficking is happening, but did he use all funds to continually free children and make sure they got sent to better places? NO.
That was normal back then. Young people are ignorant of their parents mentality. They will be shocked if they knew. Each era has its taboo rules. As anything in western modern societies, it changes all the time.
@@chloe41120 He made the film at least, and that is much more valuable and effective than an attempt to free those children. Money is not the magical solution to anything. Some issues just need infrormation to be spread among people and in media. It's much more powerful. BTW what have you done yourself for this cause ? Except trolling of course
@@chloe41120 Not true at all.

She’s in denial.
This is an important documentary. A friend of mine worked on Brooke’s first film. In a bar at 4 am Brooke begged her mother to take her home. She was so tired. Her mother just kept drinking. Obviously, she was mentally ill. I just wish Brooke the best.
Her mother was Brooke's pimp. She exploited her own child so that she could live the life at the expense of another human being. If anyone is to blame it is her, not the film industry.

You did a great job on this and deserve a lot of credit.
Her mother failed her, adults failed her, even she failed her. The over-sexualization for such a beautiful little girl, it is heart wrenching that she had to endure so much. Her face was her canvas not her body!! She is in fact en denial, it seems like she’s lying to herself about what happened to her.
Sadly, the beautiful and talented Brooke Shields was just laughing it off to hide the pain.
her mom realized she would never be that girl....but Brooke would and lived thru her at the cost of her
Yes you are right, being in denial is a way to "cope" with the pain or the "reality" of what happen is too painful to acknowledge.
Aaliyah's parents: DITTO
How dare you vilify Brooke's truth! Who are you to say she is in denial? Self-projection much. What did your mommy do to you?
all the adults in Brooke Shields life failed her!
Brooke’s mother was an alcoholic. She probably just saw $$$ as a means to have ALL the alcohol that she wanted and STILL live a stable life, which is disgusting.
You don't know that let's not just assume things that we don't know. Jumping to conclusions based off of some events don't tell the whole story. This was 40-50 years ago it's a whole lot of things change since then. 40-50 years ago before this people was getting married at age of 14 or 16 and who knows in some places the age was even less. Today we can say it's a problem but we can't apply laws of today back on a culture back then. People are allowed to dress as drag queen in the open yet back then it was illegal and if it was done it was in secret.
@@jaya-squishiehuntr019 they sure do .

Not art. It’s a crime. Darkest corner of hell.
This is what Hollywood has been doing to children for decades
Shirley temple
My god, I never imagined her photos for that magazine would be so bad.. My heart broke for her. Was there no law protecting child actors or any children at the time? How is it possible it wasn't considered child pornography?! The way everyone exploited her is absolutely horrendous.
Do you not know the difference between Art and pornography? If you find anything sexual about her pictures then you have a serious mental issue. Are pictures of cherubs at the vatican or the major churches sexual? What is the difference?
Well as far as I know this was the 70s and it was normal back then. Even nude pics of young girls were selling on magazines and all that. Maybe because the sexual revolution on media started at that time but everything was different but it was still disgusting 🤢
There is a difference between art & pornography. It is in the eye & the mind of the beholder. Also, if the photographer has credibility, they're allowed to get away with a lot as in the case of Gerry Gross & Annie Leibovitz. 📸
Brooke was my first movie star idol. I was too young to realize how sick it was the way she was sexualized as a child basically being a child myself. It's what our culture does to our girls in SO many ways
go figure Hollywood said it straight: "there's nowhere...that doesn't hurt children." - Cerce (sp) in Game of Thrones
trauma makes the world go round; what it does to girls is just a different flavor as what it does to boys...all while virtue signaling "think of the children!" smh
yep, they still do, bratz dolls and cartoons, stripper pole dancing classes for moms and daughters, etc
Exactly I remember seeing Pretty Baby not understanding it 😂
I think her denial as an adult woman is just a coping and survival mechanism. The minute she accepts that her mother exploited her during her most vulnerable years, her world will collapse. I think Brooke will continue to deny any sort of victimization for the rest of her life. She is also from a generation and era where these things were ignored and covered up with denial just like she is doing now.
Yes she is in denial still even though she had her Hulu documentary movie, etc. She's still not realizing
True ...I m her generation...kids did as they were told and got over things ...denial is indeed prevalent with our generation and older generations
Best to her
I think she is still stunning
Possible trauma bond with an alcoholic parent

@@Mr93sharpei D.A.R.E. changed that. They told us we shouldn't listen to drunk abusive perverts and a bunch of us got kicked out of our homes.
So sad that she was in these adult roles! children need to be children! No wonder a lot of Hollywood kids grow up with so many drug an alcohol issues!
Brooke is about a year and a half younger than me. I started watching her movies when Blue Lagoon came out. I always thought she was the most exquisitely beautiful girl. She also has high intelligence. I have followed her story throughout life. I do hope her mental health is intact now. As a child growing up with trauma, I still struggle with mine. Every day.
❤ Wow this was difficult to listen to. Why would PlYboy want to display a 10 year old. Disgusting!! You did a great job on video!
Children should never be exposed to this mess. The Play B thing was wrong. How did that even happen with a minor?
You must not know what the 70s and early 80s were like!
Remember that the 70s were a time of "anything goes" really, in the West, and a time that saw the rise of porn films into the mainstream (think of the film "Boogie Nights") - Times Square in NYC was I think really notorious at that time for theaters showing lots of porn films, and that's something referenced in the film "Taxi Driver", a film which also created lots of controversy for the violence and also, for Jodie Foster's portrayal of a young runaway street prostitute when she was just 12 or 13. Foster didn't have any nude scenes or any scenes where she kissed men etc. in that film, nor is it romanticized that she is a prostitute.
However, a couple of years later, Foster starred in the creepy film "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" , in which a body double (i.e. not Foster) shot brief nude scenes as Foster's character. And her character is the target of a pedophile played by Martin Sheen, and is seen in bed with a boy her age and it's made clear some kind of sexual relationship is going on.
Brooke Shields also starred in the film "Wanda Nevada" after "Pretty Baby" in which she is the kind of love interest for none other than Peter Fonda! It's a period Western I think, and Brooke appears in full make-up. Brooke was maybe 13? It was before "Blue Lagoon."
democrats support MABLA. Or are you just upset because she hasn't said she was a boy?
I feel for Brooke. She was exploited by her mother. No child should be acting in these adult films. I get that she loved her mother. That said, her mother exploited Brooke. It's clear that Brooke has compartmentalized this, been desensitized, and is in a state of denial about her mother. The fact that she wouldn't allow her own daughters to do this says it all. Thanks, Karine, for illuminating this sensitive topic.
And we have to look at the writer and production for even creating a role for a baby prostitute. Extremely terrible.
It’s hard for an adult to understand and reflect things done in childhood
You respect elders do as your told
Manipulation to believe what she doing isn’t wrong?? It’s horrific
I wonder how much money her mother made. They got a nice lifestyle thanks to her 'work' but was it worth it? I met a lady who had been prostituted by her parents from the age of 15 to her mid 30s (she was the worst case of codependency I've ever seen, and her parents had been physically and emotionnally abusive to her throughout her childhood, and they were churchgoers, Roman Catholics), they had become millionnaires, but she was making several suicide attempts a year and was unable to find a man who would be willing to marry her and have children with her. Only this month, a French woman was charged with pimping her 11-12 year daughter to a 70-year old man. She received 90K€ from the guy over 1 year. The guy didn't see anything wrong, he described the relationship as 'helping' that mother and her daughter, and 'treating' them. The mother didn't see anything wrong in what she was doing either, she was hoping the guy would marry her daughter once she turned 16 (by which time the guy would have been 75 - that's a 60 year age difference). The press haven't given any details about the ethnical origin of these people, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mother was of Northern African (Moroccan, Algerian etc.) origin.
Agreed, since given her natural beauty, she could have been a star and not been made to be a sexual object.
Modeling for all the major fashion mags alone would have made her a small fortune!
It's disgraceful!
yes, and we can blame liberals for it. they won't let kids be armed, or get a job so they are forced to stay with moms like this.
She said what society likes.
Society did not tolerated different ways of thinking and less acting. Is not clear what is more traumatizing if deviant from or be obligated to obeyed strict rules they disagreed.

I was four when I learned what sex was and when I was 6 my friend was being sexually abused (by her uncle) but didn’t know what was happening and thought it was cuddling. I told my parents and they helped my friend. Knowledge is power.
You’re dad was really wrong for taking a 6 YEAR OLD to such a movie, and at 9:00 pm?! Six year olds need to be in bed at that hour and never watching such crap!! Your dad wasn’t a good father for doing such! Awful!
Child Pornography. Why aren't the individuals who took those pictures not arrested. It's amazing that certain people of a certain shade don't face prosecution for horrific crimes.
I agree whole heartedly don’t forget certain religions get away with this type of stuff too.
@@Ms.A422 wait, what religions? 😰
Look at Your Own Community.
@@iwhippedcreamcode4642 Guilty Much. LMAO
@@cyanscrewdriver2092 in rural Utah the FLDS is marrying 13 year old girls you grown old perverted men. In the south. The Kingston klan is doing something Similar. In some states child Marriage is still legal with judicial approval, and in those local areas the judges are all in the cult. So are the cops. Disgusting.
Wow! It’s all so creepy what her mother allowed to happen to her. The fact she had to “dissociate from her body” proves how traumatic her life was. Sad thing is it’s all she knew so she didn’t realize it was BAD or wrong!
HER MOTHER MADE A LIVING OF HER NAKED DAUGHTER, SHAMEFU AND DISCUSTING . NO THANKS TO THAT CRAP. TOTAL CHILD ABUSED.
Is there a question why her mother is an alcoholic ??? She can’t stand herself, I don’t blame her.
Her Mother! What about the people in Hollywood,
What about our American
Government. shameful
This country is toward,
Women and Children.
And we are saying “ so sad Brook didn’t realize it was wrong. Blaming the
Child and not blaming the
Predators directing the
Filming of a child for
Pornography purposes.
Come on folks .
I saw Pretty Baby in a movie theater when it came out and they didnt leave anything out. Full frontal nudity of her in one scene. Was very surprised to say the least
She. Is. A. Gemini. That's. Why. It. Was. Easy. For. Her too disassociate Gemini. No. How. To. Do. That. Good. Tupac good.
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and trafficking, I will never understand how adults make things like this ok in their hearts. Ever. Children do NOT understand sexuality. They understand having a body, that feels. They do not have the capacity to understand or handle this shit. So fucking crazy how people try to dismiss or make light of taking advantage of children. I feel like those people are animals that have not encountered their higher consciousness, and have no business dealing with children. If they've crossed that line, there's no cure for that. They're dangerous to children from that moment forward.
She probably has no experience of a different kind of life, since her mother pushed her in the industry as a child. It's dissapointing how these people aren't held accountable.
She was a virgin until the age of 22. We will not rewrite her life like that.
THEY WILL BE!...... THE LAW IS THE LAW!
As a toddler
Brooke Shields is amazingly well grounded for someone who went through what she went through.
How do u know??? Are u living with… behind the curtain 😒😒😒
Doesn't seem that way to me she's excusing their behaviors normalizing it
@@80sbaby90 Yep. She isn't a victim anymore. She's part of the problem now.
@@Tenebarum She’s a victim and the problem. A victim is a victim even if they heal or end up a bad person
I don't agree. Seems like if she really owned up to the reality of her childhood, she just might break down. Now she's in denial to protect herself.
Absolutely horrific behaviour by her mum and also the actors and directors and photographers. It’s never going to end. This exploitation is everywhere
Why? No one buys boyplay for the pictures, it is for the articles they buy it. What issue was she in was skipped. I want to read those articles.
My sister bought me an issue for christmas once. I wanted to read an article in it but refused to pay what they charge for them. It was a Rush Limbaugh interview.
I thought it was funny when that miss america lady's pics came out, everywhere I looked it was women looking at the magazine.
When Brooke said she learned to “compartmentalize” she is sadly mistaken. She was disassociating. Pretending like she’s not herself is disassociation. “Removing yourself” if you will. Compartmentalizing is logically understanding when and where to expose your emotions..for instance, not bringing your personal problems to work. Don’t you agree karine? So sad
Have you listen of MK ULTRA? She has all the signs of it.
You're right. It is disassociation. But, I get how she can compartmentalize how she had to behave on the job, at home, with her mother, out with her friend Michael Jackson. Different Brookes for whatever the situation called for. But that rape was disassociation. And she said she was used to it even though she used the word compartmentalize. Which means she's been abused before if she knows how to disassociate, disappear to somewhere else in her mind to not be there in that moment. That's making me feel so sad for her. I'm 4 years older than Brooke and I know how that single mother brainwashing can do damage to a daughter. I think over time with therapy she will become a new woman and a great defender of exploited children, once she breaks out of denial, goes through all of those dormant emotions. It'll be tough. She can retrain her brain.
Do you know how old Brooke Shields is?! She had therapy dear, she dealt with it & has now compartenntalized this - as SHE said. & it's her RIGHT to do what's she thinks best. She wasn't a victim of sexual abuse - she was in a film. She knows exactly what happened & is not going to let this affect the rest of her life. She's not a victim & won't pretend to be, even for these types here, most under 18 or 20 who seem determined to do so constantly. & it wouldn't help to do so - & tbh it's a bit silly - they seem to think they "know" bc they've read about things on "the Internet" - tbh am amazed most of them don't spend their days hiding in the bedroom! (Oh....wait🙄😌) 🙏💜🇬🇧💜🌏💜
@@Seraphine_Bangtan yes, exactly! Tks
That’s how I survived - I would go somewhere else in my head & pretend it wasn’t real. I have done that for years - when older men or bosses tried to touch me. My heart breaks for Brooke.
Did her mother have Brooke to be a mother or have a source of income? I know there have been showbiz parents before her mother, still doesn't make it less vile. I'll get off my soapbox now.
No they were going to pay rent and clothing off love and the kindness of others . Her baby daddy left her mindset was that if a strong single mom . They usually relent to having men around their children
Mother pimped her in pedo Hollywood for revenge on estranged dad that paid her to abort
Having grown up in the 1970s and 80s the attitudes were very different. I was being groomed by an aunt at age 4 and only realised what was going on was not okay by the time I was 12. Brooke Shields was my idol as a child.When you have predators as blood relatives who needs enemies.
70s kid, yes I hate to say it but it was different. I was abused by family members at a time when peadophiles were creepy old men in long trench coats. Peace ❤
@@thefirm4606And Catholic priests and nuns. Speaking from an Irish perspective, of course.
My mom told me about this and I thought she was lying ...nothing about this was in good taste.. sorry between what happened to Brooke and Shirley temple child stars need and should be having limits to the "art" they have children participating in..like what in the heck was mom thinking
She was thinking $$$$
Hollywood makes me so grateful to NOT want to be famous
So sad for this innocent child. hearing bout all these psychos trying to legitimize child exploitation makes me sick...we can never accept or get used to these disgusting behaviours.
Thank you Karine for your hard work. Please let us know how we can support you! God bless
Childhood should be protected, this is so sad.
WHATTTTTTT?! This is straight up criminal, yet so many adults not only allowed it, they encouraged it. I’m enraged for 10 y/o Brooke.
and PROFITED off it. If it is marketable no one CARES.
It was utterly disgusting how exploited Brooke Shields was as a child.
Exploited by her mother who's supposed to protect her but brainwashed her instead in believing she can be an adult whilst still a girl. Money, the greed for money. Shame on you Mrs Sheilds.. you'd exploited your little girl
Mom does don’t take alimony but used the daughter for income.
She said she enjoyed it in previous interviews. People are discusted because they are programed to be. Pathetic
Worse than Shirley Temple?? Of course, not.
@@tonygrowley5275 She was nude in Playboy at 10, so yes, worse than Shirley Temple. 🙄
I had no idea she made that movie. That is wild and disgusting that she was groom and worst of by her own mother. Thank you so much for a fantastic video
OMG! Liam Neeson went out with Brooke Sheilds!!! He's old enough to be her father 2x over.😕
I know right 😢😢
When you said 10 years old at the start of the video, I thought I misheard you and when you later explained THE photoshoot I started crying. Oh God!! SHE WAS 10!! She didn't have a mother, she had a pimp! Poor Brooke. There's no doubt in my mind that she is absolutely in denial till this day that this was going on and happening to her
This is a good review. I grew up with her and as a Black girl with thick eyebrows, i thought she was beautiful. It's amazing how the people close to us are untrustworthy. Thanks for this and all the reviews on your channel.
I remember being 12 and seeing Brooke on the covers of teen fashion magazines. I looked 12. Brooke looked 30.
I stopped buying the magazines because I didn't want to be sexually attractive to grown men. I wanted to enjoy being a kid!
😂
Brooke couldn’t help her looks. This is a very harmful comment. Im sure attractive young teens ALSO don’t want to be sexualized.
@@essies4294 Are you insinuating that the OP was an unattractive child? Children. Any and every child to ever exist are beautiful. Innocent and beautiful and should never be exposed to anything adult. Their want not to be sexualised, should never even be up for debate; they should NEVER BE.
Is Teri Shields still alive, because if she is, and by the troll like commenting all over this video’s comment section, I’m starting to suspect that @@essies4294may be that b!tch. (Edited: B!tch adjacent).
I’ve just finished the entire video and know that, ding, dong, that witch is dead. I’m gonna say it now, I am not sorry about it.
Liar
I'm glad you're did this video, I'm a year older than her, and remember when she first became popular. I felt kind of bad for her, it did seem her mom was a stage mother of sorts. Thanks for the video! 💜
Sickening! 🤦🏾♀️. This world is so evil
And still, no one has been held accountable for this evil mess! The men and women who agreed to act in this movie should've done time ! Made me sick!
And playboy should've went under!!!!
The creator always picks the right moment to destroy
NOPE. Saying those disgusting photos wouldn’t do “irreparable harm” was damn near incriminating. Of course nobody would blame her for it or hold it against her, she was a child. Forget canceling, how are these people not in prison rotting based solely off their actions let alone the things they tried to say to justify them. I need to see what kind of “laws” permitted child corn as art. Like this entire situation just doesn’t sit right with me from every aspect and it’s so sad. Although it seems like Brooke’s daughter may be the start to her healing. She sounds like she’s shedding some needed light on the situation that made Brooke have to question if what happened to her was really okay
Pedo hollyweird
Where is dad? Why did he not take an active role in raising his child?
I'm very glad you did this..
2023..
I'm the same age as Brooke, growing up I was often like.. WTF.
A generation of 12 yr olds were abused , normalizing sexual immaturity for 30 yr old men.
And an increase of kidnappings of 12-14 yr old girls in the late 70s. Had a guy following me for a week when he came into my school saying he was my father.. luckily, my school knew that I lived with an aunt and my dad wasn't on the list.
So HERO Secretary and Principal. Man was arrested at his house where two girls were in a basement party room not knowing they were locked in. One was my cousin. (End of a story that started a few weeks earlier)
But these guys were stealing girls .
Legit , she has Stockholm syndrome. That's why she didn't see that Aggassi wasn't concerned if her mom time, he was getting rid of her closest people.. that's what predators do.
True…I’m 46 and no one gave af about our childhoods
I am just a few years younger than Brooke Shields, and remember being so jealous because she was beautiful and living this exciting, adult life. Now I look back and see she was horribly abused and exploited.
It's child abuse full stop!
As a mother of a 13 year old daughter I cannot imagine putting my child through any of what Brook went through! It’s absolutely disgusting!
But you would take the money!
@@kendrahwhyte9960Exactly.
I watch them let biden grope their kids all the time.
@@kendrahwhyte9960 No, no mother or father worth of the word would sell their daughter into such a project. Her mother must have been a piece of work. And where was the father.
How is that even legal?!
She should sue Playboy.
Thank you Karine. While watching the section about her mother I had a revelation about my own mother. You helped me answer a question I had about my mom's bizarre behavior. I had been struggling with it for 20 years, now I have the last piece of the puzzle that completed the picture. Thank you!
She is absolutely stunning, and it is a shame that she was exploited so blatantly and by so many.
She’s calling kissing a grown man a beautiful experience? She’s in denial big time.
That's not what she said. Listen to it again.
Hollywood is full of predators and always has been, her mother probably drank because she knew she was exploiting her daughter. Recently saw the story behind Shirley Temple Black, and the things that happened to that child were just as offensive. How do we change this scenario is the question, is it even possible? Great job on this bio, Thank you!
Exactly. I was thinking of Shirley Temple also having a similar life experience with the Hollywood movie industry. How sad. Gives new meaning to the saying, “It’s a man’s world”, but her mom should have been protecting her, except she just saw $$$. Shame on her!
@@snap2115 so much of what is WRONG in society is based on greed, and correcting it is difficult cuz the allure of profits overshadows doing what is right.
@@snap2115also Marilyn Monroe as well even though she was older
The fact that any of this was lawful is enough to prove that the justice system is severely lacking and corrupt in this country. I love these videos, but the stories can be so tragic. It’s good that they’re told though. Shedding light on peoples pain has to release them from it in some way spiritually, I feel.
This woman has been through so much. My heart breaks thinking of how isolated she must be with the pain of it all. I hope that she finds healing. Her mother also seems like a deeply damaged person also in need of healing.
Theres no justification on her mother's part she is wrong
I am sure her mother doesn't think she did anything wrong. She needs her eyes opened.
Thank you so much for posting this- no one wants to talk about this subject and it’s only getting worse- we need to expose those who exploit children
I agree with you and everyone here! That kind of "brooming" and exploitation is beyond disgusting. It was even difficult to watch some of those scenes.
Always love all your videos!!
I would love if you did a video about yourself, in the same style as you do the stars that you cover. All about your culture, early life and what you like about classic Hollywood and how did you create this favorite channel. ✨️
Blessings to you and everyone ❤️
Poor Jon Benet Ramsey, too
I am the same age as Brooke and remember watching her movies. Now as a grown woman I find it extremely disturbing what her mother subjected her to. A different actress that played an extremely controversial role at a young age was Mariel Hemingway in 1976's movie Lipstick with her older sister Margaux Hemingway. Great video. Thank you.
Mariel Hemingway was 16 when she was Woody Allen's (!!!!) love interest in 'Manhattan'. He was 42. They had a kiss in the movie (for which he 'attacked' her like a 'linebacker'). When she was 18, he tried to fly her to Paris with him. Her parents said 'yes' but she said 'no' because they weren't going to have separate rooms.
Let's not forget Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, and Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane in 1976. She played a prostitute in Taxi, and a murderer in Little Girl.
@@prettypennyschannel the 70s were crazy. People say the 60s were tumultuous but the 70s movies were very strange and pedophilia was "art." So I guess the era that was supposedly settled down was actually the creepiest for movies.
@@UmOmar I heard something about that one but did you know about Jerry Lee Lewis ,he had a 13 year old bride it,s crazy ! Sadly still exists in east asia , and in Africa also , Cheers!
@@nickspiroulias3651 yes and I think Jerry Lee Lewis's bride was his cousin if I remember right.
It's disgusting to see parents treat thier child in such horrible way , her parents did not deserve to have children ......... her mind accepted it because realizing she was abused and her parents allowed others to just use her would be so much pain that she can ever handle
I’m glad that Brooke hasn’t allowed her past to define who she is today. She is a wonderful mother and has accomplished so much in her life.Her mother was beyond a stage mother she was nothing more then a pimp! Absolutely disgusting !
I do feel for Brooke, I grew up during her modeling and acting years. She is a year older than me. I remember the Calvin Klein vividly. I always thought that her mom was weird and crazy. What I don’t get is how Brooke is glossing over everything. I heard and interview with her talking about pretty baby, and that she said the “we have to remember the time that this took place”…I was floored, because I remember the 70’s a little differently, there were laws to protect kids back then. The industry is still the same, just a little more covert.
The reason she’s glossing over everything is because she’s in denial of how terrible it was for her mother to do this to her. She has simply tried to justify what happened so she can continue to see her mother in a favorable light
It’s not easy to make peace with your past, especially publicly.
As a 70s baby, yes there were laws, but it was still much more acceptable. Molesters were creepy strangers in trench coats not family or friends known to your parents. And if you don’t have a responsible adult in your life, you’re screwed
@@thefirm4606 Totally agree. I still remember all the “flashers” in L.A. During the 70’s
@@thefirm4606 I had bro's older than me that I found out later in life ran interference for their baby sis. They weren't gonna have me violated as our dad hd passed. I didn't know at the time, but am grateful. I was naïve and didn't know why they kept certain family and friends AWAY from me.
Shirley Temple and Brook Shields Drew Barrymore was used and abused in Hollyweird just horrific !
Brooke is a very strong woman. I'm a mother of 2 young kids. My youngest being my daughter. I can't imagine my kids going through what Brooke did. I would have avoided everything possible to put my kids through that type of environment and trauma. It's disgusting what some parents and the people apart of the entertainment industry can do and would do especially for money. It's appalling and hearbreaking.
Thank you for sharing. I had no idea Brook grew up like this.
Brooke was so beautiful! It’s a shame how she got taken advantage of.
Brook was extremely beautiful as a child and teen No awkward growing phase.
A bit like Elizabeth Taylor, who was also a strikingly pretty baby (as was her brother), and simply got more beautiful as she grew up, at every stage of her life.
Some people just hit the genetic lottery
Great job covering Brooke shields! I learned a lot. SO DISTURBING. These adults in her life took advantage of her and it was a form of abuse. So frightening!
I find it interesting how so many people can't accept that she feels no regret and want to try and force her to feel it.
because it's weird. i guess she's ok with doing this to kids
@@VeganBambi It's her life so who are we to decide what is "weird"? We didn't live it and cannot understand her experience. Your guess is just that, a guess. She never said it should be repeated in anyone else's life.
@@ihaveacoolnickname It's not about being weird or not, what happened to her was serious abuse of a minor. She was exploited by adults both physically and mentally at a very young age and that shouldn't be seen as normal and acceptable!
If you pay attention to what Brook herself said, she learned to disassociate from her body - this is a form of survival coping mechanism, when a person resorts to this kind of psychological means it is because the cause was serious! Brooke's childhood was not normal, and Karine is right to emphasize that this kind of experience is abhorrent and detrimental to those who go through it.
Another amazing video!! Thank you for the hard work and research you put in these videos ❤
Adults that play these roles opposite children need to be held accountable. It is not art. It is destroying children and people shouldn’t grow up desensitized for the sake of art.
She did not "research or work hard enough" there are multiple other movies and young girls she never mentioned and "CLAIMS" Brook to be the MOST sexually exploited child star? She mentioned nothing of Eve Lonesca who actually performed sex acts ON FILM when she was 12. If you think pretty baby was bad you will have a coronary over Eves movie. And there are others. Seriously if you find Brooks pictures of a sexual nature you have a mental disorder and are the pervert. IF you find pretty baby to be "sexual" that is an issue too. She had no inappropriate moments in that movie. You are taking the entire context of the entire house and putting them onto her.
Any parent that exploits their child is disgusting and they should be held to account for it.
Mind gobbling but WHOA!!! playboy at 10?????????????????????How did that happen without mass outraged ???????INCREDIBLE
They’re all sick. Such a corrupt industry! 😒
I was a kid and even more protected and innocent than Brooke. And I knew what the Calvin Klein add meant and that she was sexualized and pretty. She knew. There was a little voice inside that tells you this stuff is wrong. She was groomed to lie about the experiences and she lied so much she ended up believing the lies. It's really sad.
She still wanted that clout in Hollywood. Didn't want to be ostracized most likely.
@@t.g.7180 yup agree, I even think she was brainwashed to think it was a good experience.
This is exactly what is going on today with gender ideology and the sexualization of children. Sickening!
Grooming also includes the jeopardy, what happens if you talk. Fear, shame and pain will keep you in line.
Brooke is such a sweetheart. She’s married to a classmate of mine and they came to a class reunion.
Miss Karine you are saying everything I have always felt about this movie, and I have never seen it. (The movie came out during a 29 year period of my life where we could not afford to see movies and had to wait until they came to TV. Of course this one never did) I have NEVER understood parents who USE THEIR CHILDREN FOR FINANCIAL GAIN, they make me sick. I wish them Karma tenfold.
I don’t think anyone has a right to judge how Brooke Shields should FEEL or shouldn’t feel. It’s HER life to live. We ALL have our demons to battle. If She prefers to see her life from a certain perspective (even IF it’s to hide some trauma) that’s certainly HER business and not anyone else’s. I’ve always enjoyed her films. We are the same age and I was always a huge fan. She will always be one of the most beautiful people in the world in MY eyes. I think she’s handled herself extremely well despite all the controversy surrounding her early career.
