Brooke Shields, a renowned actress at 57, recently shared her daughter Grier’s powerful reaction to her revealing documentary, “Pretty Baby.”

Grier, aged 16, expressed deep emotions upon watching the film.

During an appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on April 4, Shields recounted Grier’s perspective on the documentary.

According to Shields, Grier perceived it as a revelation of aspects her mother had previously kept hidden.

This revelation left Grier feeling outraged and profoundly saddened.

In recalling the poignant moment, Shields revealed Grier’s words, “Nothing you say to me, Mom, is going to make it better,” highlighting her daughter’s distress.

Grier expressed her aversion to witnessing unfavorable events happening to her mother, prompting her to leave the screening room in tears.

Shields further shared her husband’s concern over his inability to shield Grier from such revelations.

Despite these intense reactions, Shields humorously mentioned that her daughters, including 19-year-old Rowan, typically show minimal interest in her personal life beyond binge-watching episodes of “Suddenly Susan.”

The documentary, now available for streaming on Hulu, delves into Shields’ career trajectory, emphasizing her early sexualization as a child model and her roles in controversial films like “Pretty Baby,” where she portrayed a child prostitute at the age of 11.

Shields candidly discusses how another movie, “The Blue Lagoon,” aimed to exploit her genuine coming-of-age experience.

In a raw account within the documentary, Shields discloses a harrowing experience of s**ual assault following her college graduation.

She narrates a distressing encounter where, despite expressing her refusal, she found herself in a vulnerable situation.

The incident compelled her to prioritize survival and detachment from her body to cope.

Post-viewing the documentary, Shields revealed that Rowan considered it essential viewing, acknowledging its significance for women.

The documentary prompted meaningful conversations between Shields and her daughters, who had not previously watched films like “Pretty Baby” or “Blue Lagoon.”

Rowan emphatically stated her reluctance to ever watch “Blue Lagoon” due to its content, while Grier expressed reservations about the themes depicted in “Pretty Baby,” deeming them inappropriate by contemporary standards.

Shields clarified the historical context of the film, based on a true story from the early 1900s, to provide perspective on its narrative.
