Brooke Shields
revealed that in her youth she was raped by an executive in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
She did not name him, but told about meeting him in the documentary "Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields", which reviews the life of the star who started out as a child prodigy.
In an interview she gave to People magazine, Shields said that that evening she was invited by the executive to dinner.
"I thought I would get a role in the movie," she said, adding that he then invited her to make a phone call from his hotel room, where he assaulted her.
"I didn't fight him, I froze. After it happened, I blamed myself. I told myself I shouldn't have gone to the room with him, I shouldn't have had a drink with dinner."

Shields also said that during the attack she suffered from dissociation, a disconnection, which accompanied her throughout the years of her career: "It's a miracle that I survived. It was very easy for me to dissociate because it's about fight or flight. War was not an option, so I just left my body and told myself that I don't There, that doesn't happen. I always felt disconnected from my body, from my sexuality. It was easier for me to turn myself off, I was good at it."
Walla!
