Internet users are appalled by the reemergence of an article that sexualizes a 12-year-old Brooke Shields, with many calling for severe consequences for those responsible.
During her preteen years, Shields gained prominence through roles in films like Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) and Pretty Baby (1978), garnering significant attention despite her young age.
In a two-part documentary titled “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” she reflects on her career, shedding light on the early sexualization she faced in Hollywood.
The controversial High Times piece cited by Shields underscores these sentiments by portraying her in a questionable light, describing her as a blend of innocence and seduction at only 12 years old.
The article’s unsettling tone and objectification of Shields have sparked outrage among online communities, who have expressed shock and dismay over its content.
Shields, in a trailer for her upcoming documentary on Disney+, reveals her astonishment at surviving the intense scrutiny and inappropriate focus on her appearance throughout her life.
Recalling her encounters with journalists during her youth, Shields condemns the treatment she received, labeling some interactions as “borderline criminal.”
As discussions around Shields’ documentary resurfaced the disturbing article, social media users voiced their condemnation, with one individual calling for legal repercussions against the authors.
The public outcry has intensified, with demands for accountability and justice directed towards those involved in creating the offensive narrative surrounding Shields.
The widespread revulsion towards the exploitative portrayal of Shields highlights a broader societal shift towards recognizing and challenging inappropriate depictions of minors in the media.
