The rape happened shortly after Shields graduated from Princeton University in 1987.
Actress Brooke Shields, 57, has revealed that she was raped by a powerful Hollywood executive after graduating from college at the age of 20.
“It took me a long time to realize this,” the 57-year-old actress told People magazine after sharing the creepy story in the Hulu documentary Pretty Baby.
“I’m more angry now than I could have been then,” she continued. If you’re scared, you’re right. These are scary situations. They don’t have to be cruel to be scary.

The Blue Lagoon star recalled being at “the very beginning of her career” when she met an unnamed executive for dinner, which she thought would lead to her “getting a movie role.” After the meal, she agreed to go to his hotel to call a taxi.
In the documentary, which premieres on April 3, Shields said the man started “fighting” with her, making her afraid that she would “be strangled or something.”
“I didn’t scream that much,” she continued. I didn’t. I just completely froze. I thought one “No” should be enough. I just thought, “Stay alive and get out,” and just shut up.

The model explained that she initially blamed herself for going to the hotel with a man.
“It was impossible to fight, so you just leave your body. You are not there. This did not happen,” said the actress.
Shields noted that she had been sexualized in Hollywood for decades, from when she appeared nude at the age of 11 in the 1978 film Pretty Woman.
“It was just easier for me to close. I was good at it,” she told the magazine.
Recall that 57-year-old Brooke Shields was published in the company of her adult daughters.
Focus also wrote that Brooke Shields starred in the new Skims campaign.
