Actress Brooke Shields has disclosed that she was raped as a young adult in a hotel room after dinner with a man.

In the documentary “Pretty Baby,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Shields did not identify the attacker but described the events of the sexual assault, which occurred shortly after she graduated from Princeton University.

Shields was struggling to find work after her early success as a child star in Hollywood. Shields met the man for dinner ostensibly to discuss work, and he later invited her back to his hotel room.

Shields agreed, and after some time, she felt uncomfortable in the room and decided to use the binoculars the man had left in the room to watch some volleyball players outside the window.

Shields continued, “The door opens, the person comes out naked, and I’ve got the binoculars and I’m like, ‘S—.’

And I put the binoculars down, and he’s right on me. Just like, was wrestling.”

Shields revealed that she did not attempt to run away because she was afraid it would trigger further physical violence. Shields said, “I was afraid I’d get choked out or something, so I didn’t fight that much.

I just absolutely froze. I thought one ‘No’ should’ve been enough, and I just thought, ‘Stay alive and get out,’ and I just shut it out.”

Shields cried all the way to her friend’s apartment after leaving the hotel.

Shields did not realize the encounter was a sexual assault for a long time, even when it was pointed out to her by her security specialist Gavin de Becker.

“He said, ‘That’s rape.’ And I said, ‘I’m not willing to believe that,’” Shields recounted.

Shields had already experienced sexual objectification in Hollywood by appearing nude and kissing a 29-year-old Keith Carradine in the 1978 film “Pretty Baby” when she was 11 years old.

At 15, she appeared in two more films, “Blue Lagoon” and “Endless Love,” that featured s^x and nud^ty, as well as her iconic Calvin Klein jean advertisements that claimed, “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins.”

Despite this history, Shields felt that she was partly responsible for her assault. “That was what I had to do to my brain,” she admitted.

“He said to me, ‘I can trust you, and I can’t trust people.’ It’s so cliché, it’s practically pathetic. I believed somehow I put out a message, and that was how the message was received.

I drank wine at dinner.

I went up to the room.

I just was so trusting.

” Shields then wrote a letter to her attacker, telling him that he had broken a “huge trust” between them, but he dismissed it.

Shields has spoken about being sexualized from a young age in two memoirs, but this is the first time she has revealed details of an assault of this nature.

“I just threw my hands up and said, ‘You know what, I refuse to be a victim because this is something that happens no matter who you are and no matter what you think you’re prepared for or not,'” Shields concluded.

“I wanted to erase the whole thing from my mind and body and just keep on the path I was on.”

“The system had never once come to help me. So I just had to get stronger on my own.”

The director of “Pretty Baby,” Lena Wilson (Miss Americana), said that the documentary would be available on Hulu later this year.
