<p>Hollywood star Brooke Shields called out journalist Barbara Walters for a question she asked the actress when she was just 15 years old in the early days of her career, saying it was inappropriate.</p>
<p>During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/put-out-to-pasture-brooke-shields-says-shes-still-here-and-slams-the-industry-for-not-representing-women-over-40">57-year-old</a> actress&#8217; latest appearance on &#8220;The Drew Barrymore Show,&#8221; Shields told the host that she felt &#8220;taken advantage of&#8221; after the 1981 interview, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/11/21/brooke-shields-i-was-taken-advantage-of-in-barbara-walters-interview/">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;She [Walters] asked me what my measurements were and asked me to stand up,&#8221; recalled Shields. The Barrymore crowd audibly gasped in the background.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I stand up, and she was like comparing herself to this little girl,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I thought, &#8216;This isn&#8217;t right. I don&#8217;t understand what this is.'&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;But I just, I behaved and I just smiled and felt like so taken advantage of,&#8221; Shields continued. &#8220;You know, in so many ways.&#8221;</p>
<p>Page Six included a clip of the 1981 interview showing Walters asking Shields about her measurements.</p>
<p>Looking a bit surprised, the aspiring model replied, &#8220;Um, I&#8217;m 5&#8217;10, 120.&#8221;</p>
<p>Walters explained that when most people saw Shields, they didn&#8217;t realize &#8220;how tall and slender&#8221; the model was.</p>
<p>Walters then made a comment to Brooke&#8217;s mother, Teri, asking whether it&#8217;s &#8220;very hard when you got a little kid this high to keep it down to size, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221;</p>
<p>Shields previously spoke out about the 1981 interview with Walters.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s practically criminal,&#8221; the actress explained during her appearance in 2021 on Dax Shepard&#8217;s podcast, &#8220;Armchair Expert.&#8221; &#8220;It’s not journalism.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shields also labeled the questions from Walters &#8220;maddening&#8221; as she grilled the teen on her personal life.</p>
<p>&#8220;Would you be a mother like your mother?&#8221; Walters asked Shields before asking Teri, &#8220;What about people who say, &#8216;She had no childhood’?&#8221;</p>
<p>The actress came to her mother&#8217;s defense.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you have any secrets from your mother?&#8221; Walters continued as the model again defended her mom.</p>
