A new two-part documentary called Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields is pulling back the curtain on Brooke Shields‘ career as a child actress and model and the many harrowing experiences she endured from then on.
One major detail revealed in the film directed by Lana Wilson–who also helmed the Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana–is Shields recounting how she was raped in her 20s.
In the film, Shields explains how she struggled to get acting jobs after graduating college. She went to dinner with someone she thought of as a kind acquaintance with a possible job opportunity that took a horrific turn.

As USA Today reported, Shields says in Pretty Baby, “I thought it was a work meeting. I had met this person before, and he was always nice to me.” But as the meal continued, “his behavior was changing, and there was no talk about the movie.”
After dinner, the man insisted that Shields accompany him back to his hotel, where he would call her a cab. But instead, he brought her up to his room and disappeared for a bit before returning naked and attacking her.
