Brooke Shields’ daughter said she found out the deeply disturbing details of her mother’s allegations of sexual assault along with the rest of the world — when she saw her mom’s documentary.
Shields’ youngest daughter, Grier, was completely unaware that her mother said she had been sexually abused until she tuned in to Shields’ 2023 documentary, “Pretty Baby,” according to an interview with People published Aug. 30. Grier reportedly admitted she was so taken aback that she couldn’t watch the entire thing.
The documentary touched on Shields’ career and personal life both on and off camera, and the famous model and actress admitted to the outlet that she didn’t prepare her youngest daughter before it was released.
“Part of being a mom is learning from your kids,” Shields said in an interview with People that included her daughters — 21-year-old Rowan, 21 and 18-year-old Grier.
The documentary was the first time she publicly said she had been sexually assaulted by a prominent and powerful Hollywood figure, and to this day, she has not identified her alleged abuser by name.
Shields said the assault occurred when she was in her 20s. The actress told the outlet Grier had no idea she was about to discover that tidbit of information about her own mom.
“I didn’t prepare her,” Shields admitted to the outlet.
