PARK CITY , Jan 21 — Brooke Shields revealed she was raped as a young Hollywood actress in new documentaryThe former supermodel did not reveal the identity of her attacker, but said she met with the man — someone she already knew — soon after she graduated college, believing it was a work meeting to discuss casting her in a new movie.
“I didn’t fight that much. I didn’t. I just absolutely froze. I thought that my one ‘no’ should have been enough. And I just thought ‘stay alive and get out.’” The revelation — which echoes #MeToo revelations by prominent and lesser-known Hollywood actresses in recent years — is one of several shocking moments in the film, which will be released on the Hulu streaming platform in two parts.
The movie, which earned Shields a standing ovation at its Sundance premiere, also chronicles the media’s later obsession with her virginity, her mother’s alcoholism, and her first marriage to tennis star Andre Agassi.
