Brooke Shields, a documentary maker claims she was raped in a recent film “major Hollywood player.”
Unfortunately, she doesn’t name her rapist.
Instead of naming him or filing charges against him, at the time, she says she instead wrote him a — no joke — “scathing letter, saying that she was above him.”
Yep, here we go again…
Another genetic lottery winner who has lived a life of astonishing privilege releases a documentary… Oh, sorry—A two-part documentary about how she’s been a victim for 56 years.
Shields could have been raped. That is an awful, horrible and potentially life-threatening thing. She is my complete sympathy.
Would you be interested to find out what is worse? Knowing there’s a rapist out there and doing nothing to stop him — I mean other than use it as public relations fodder to sell your two-part documentary.
We all know the high rate of recidivists among sexual offenders, particularly rapists. It is not fair for a decent man to remain silent knowing that there are greater chances than not that he will commit rape again.
One of the most horrible things that could happen is to be raped. Remain silent, profiteer off other women’s stories is not acceptable. This person should not be allowed to run wild and prey on other women. Sometimes we are hit with a duty and responsibility we don’t want and never asked for. That’s life. Shields must name the man and have a responsibility to others.
Shields is not the first celebrity to claim rape and refuse to name the rapist, which leads me to this question… Why are all these #MeToo victims willing to destroy the career of a thousand Bill Murrays over off-color jokes made 25 years ago but not willing to name the actual predators, those who truly are a danger to other women?
Here’s Shields sharing her burden about being born beautiful:
“It felt so arbitrary and unmerited,”She speaks about her fascination when she was young with her beauty. That anyone called her an icon was something she wasn’t capable of processing.
“I was born with this face, so I didn’t want to think about it,”She says. “I wanted to think about things I could control. Things that could have happened without beauty.”
Pretty Baby, which was directed by Lana Wilson (the Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana), chronicles Shields’ entire career, from when she first started modeling at 11 years old in a soap ad to present day, when she is finally ready to reckon on a public stage with her fame and the ways in which she was exploited and traumatized by the industry. It’s empowering and it’s powerful, a portrait of a constantly transforming woman on the journey to finally, now, understanding her identity and the power of her own agency.
Oh poor baby.
It seems to me that you ought to be blaming parents. Their job was to protect you.

Finally, let me say this…
The same people — leftists, like those behind this documentary (including the wife of George Stephanopolous) and those who will pearl clutch over poor Brooke being traumatized by this early sexualization, are the same people who want to flood elementary schools with gay porn and drag queens and want Disney to groom little kids by pushing adult sexuality in Toy Story movies — they are the same people who defend teachers teaching little kids how to masturbate with fruits and vegetables; the same people who think it’s okay to permanently destroy children with castration, hormone therapy, and other irreversible surgeries.
If Brooke Shields wants to show real courage, instead of profiting off her oh-woe-is-beautiful-and-wealthy-me victimhood in a two-partIn documentary she will 1) identify her rapist in order to remove him from the streets and 2) protest Disney and school boards for sexually abusing little girls.
Brooke Shields is a perfect spokesperson on the dangers of sexualizing kids.
It would take courage.
This would do some good.
