    Her torrid freshness became an underground legend among the talent set. Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable Brooke Shields to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal, but oh, so sweet. Welcome to the end of innocence, Brookie.

    Multiple people had to okay that. How? HOW???

      Her parents okayed it and exploited her, especially her mom. She was in multiple movies as a child with nude scenes. As in, there were multiple movies with child porn in it released, commercially, in the United States. I genuinely don’t understand how so many people didn’t just come out and say “wooooah, this is child porn.” A few did, but not many. Not that the Epstein Class didn’t exist before, but JFC, to be so blatant…

      I’m also always astonished that she didn’t end up on the typical abused child actor track and ended up having a career as an adult.

        Is a criminal thing to say about anyone at any age.

        Even saying that about an adult is suspect.

          How about Kid Rock on Saturday Night Live talking about not waiting till the Olsen twins turn 18 literally saying “If there’s grass on the field, play ball!”. If you didn’t know, the Olsen twins were famous for their portrayal of the baby/toddler in Full House as well as a plethora of children’s adventure videos starring them at various super young ages.

          This is the same Kid Rock who sang lyrics about child sex in a children’s movie and just headlined the Alt-Right Superbowl not-quite-halftime show.

            I haven’t ever watched SNL because that show is better when filtered into secondhand aggregates.

            But Kid Rock is a disgusting creep who only has a platform anymore because the GOP can’t get anyone else with a preexisting fanbase who is stupid enough to openly pitch pedophilia to their voters.

            He should’ve had a rock through the mouth decades ago.

      Don’t ask Danish people about which kind of porn was not only legal, but actively produced in their country up until the '90s
