Actress Brooke Shields has opened up about the sexual assault she suffered more than 30 years ago, but she’s never spoken about it publicly before because she didn’t think anyone would believe her.

Brooke is now opening up about the breakup in a documentary about her April release called Brooke Shields: Pretty Baby, in which she explains what it was like to be a gender-disproportionate child star.

She says she recently graduated from Princeton University in her 30s and was struggling to find a job. It was at a low point in his career.
She was invited to dinner with a powerful man in the film industry and after dinner he invited her to call a taxi from his hotel room. In the room, he crashed against her.
“I went up to the hotel room and he disappeared for a while,” Brooke said. However, he soon returned and was naked, then attacked her. “He was right on me right away. It was like wrestling.”
“I didn’t resist much, I just didn’t resist, I completely froze.” I thought a NO should have been enough, and I just thought: Stay alive and get out of here.’” she says in the documentary.
It was easy for her to detach from what was going on because she had decades of experience with sexism and harassment through her work in Hollywood.
As a result, she blamed herself. “I started to believe that I had somehow sent him a message, and that’s how he interpreted it.” I drank wine with the food. I went with him into the bedroom. I was so gullible.”
As mentioned earlier, the documentary, which will be in two parts, is due out in April. Brooke told People that she accidentally forgot to warn her teenage daughters about the film’s difficult storylines.
