<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/it-wouldnt-be-allowed-brooke-shields-reflects-on-blue-lagoon-and-why-it-could-never-be-made-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooke Shields</a> opened up about a sexual assault she said happened thirty years ago — allegedly committed by a powerful Hollywood executive — and said that she blames herself.</p>
<p>In the 57-year-old actress&#8217; upcoming two-part Hulu documentary, &#8220;Brooke Shields: Pretty Baby&#8221; the &#8220;Blue Lagoon&#8221; star explained she never told anyone about the assault and said back then &#8220;people weren&#8217;t believing those stories,&#8221; <a href="https://people.com/movies/brooke-shields-reveals-sexually-assaulted-30-years-ago-exclusive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;No one is going to believe me,&#8221; Shields said. &#8220;People weren&#8217;t believing those stories back then. I thought I would never work again.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">No one gets to own my truth but me 💛 Thank you to <a href="https://twitter.com/people?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@people</a> for this cover!!

<p>&mdash; Brooke Shields (@BrookeShields) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrookeShields/status/1636023364933365760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 15, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Doing the documentary, you see it all together, and it&#8217;s a miracle that I survived,&#8221; she added of the assault in her 20s. &#8220;It&#8217;s taken me a long time to process it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m more angry now than I was able to be then,&#8221; the actress continued. &#8220;If you&#8217;re afraid, you&#8217;re rightfully so. They are scary situations. They don&#8217;t have to be violent to be scary.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Endless Love&#8221; star, at the time of the assault, had just graduated from college and was struggling to find work. She went to dinner with this Hollywood executive believing she was going to get a job, a role in a movie.</p>
<p>Shields said after dinner the person said she could call for a cab from his hotel room and it was there she said the assault occurred.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t fight,&#8221; the actress said in the documentary. &#8220;I just froze.&#8221;</p>
<p>Afterwards she blamed herself saying, &#8220;Why did I go up with him? I shouldn&#8217;t have had that drink at dinner.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was really easy to disassociate because by then it was old hat,&#8221; Shields said. &#8220;And because it was a fight-or-flight type of choice. Fight was not an option, so you just leave your body. &#8216;You&#8217;re not there. It didn&#8217;t happen.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d always had a sense of disassociation from my body. From my sexuality,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I was mostly a cover girl … And it was just easier to shut myself off. I was good at it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shields said she decided to do the documentary &#8220;with the hopes of helping people not feel alone. Everybody processes their own trauma on a different timeline. I want to be an advocate for women to be able to speak their truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actress is married to comedy writer and director Chris Henchy and the two share two daughters together.</p>
