Brooke Shields on Her Mom Always Being in Interviews

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/DVnjW8l8wxKA

Drew: Why was she in every interview with you because that’s one thing, my mom did not do that. Did she ever explain to you why she would sit next to you in interviews?

Brooke: No. It was, ‘No one’s gonna get you.I’m gonna be there first,you’re mine.I’m not gonna give you to somebody.’

Drew: And I’ll protect you?

Brooke: Under the guise of protection but it was more ownership and fear I think. 

Drew: She was the original momager, if you will, and my mom became a manager in honor of Terri Shields because she was known in the industry as the great protector of you, the one who called the shots, and yet I paid the rent, you paid the rent. How do you feel about that then and now? 

Brooke: It was all I knew. But we got stuff.It’s like I did a movie and we got a car.

Drew: We got a car too, and my mom couldn’t afford one otherwise.

Brooke: All I knew was, keep my mother alive, keep dancing and get stuff, but toemerge from it not angry or jaded,it’s in there,it’s something in your character,it’s in my character. Doing this documentary it’s given me life in the most interesting way.

Brooke and Drew on the Me Too Movement

Drew: How did you feel about the Me Too Movement in the sense of, I didn’t feel like I had a dog in that race, I didn’t feel like I could speak to it because I experienced so many things that were so inappropriate at such a young age that I’m so confused about what was I accountable for, what did I put myself into…we were children. How did that movement affect you, did you feel like you could speak to it? 

Brooke: No, because Ididn’t know where I fell on the spectrumof it. I don’t know where to interpret my experiencesbecause I was made to feel culpable, and by the same time, you victim shame yourself, but we were so youngand it was appropriate that we just, I couldn’t feel sorry, I didn’t know what it was, I didn’t know, and so when it was called out to meas such I was like, ‘No, not going there. It did not happen.’

Drew: That’s exactly how I felt. I felt like I couldn’t speak to the movement and I was so happy it was happening but I felt like I experienced too many things that were so gray and so awkward and that I didn’t know were wrong at the time, I guess as an adult with hindsight, as a mother of daughters. 

Brooke: As a mother with daughters I thinkthat’s what helps with the perspective of it. But the ownership of it, or the ownership of the reality of it, that never was in my, I did not know how to handle any of that so I just pushed it under the rug.
