On Jennie Garth’s podcast I Choose Me, Brooke Shields recently talked about her choice to create the documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields. She shared how her daughters reacted to it. Shields expressed that now seemed like the perfect moment to release this film. The documentary aims to go beyond just her personal tale, delving into a wider conversation about societal issues related to the premature sexualization of young girls.

She remarked, “I served as a link to a larger discussion, and to me, that’s the most valuable gift I could receive.” Garth inquired if her daughters, Rowan Francis Henchy and Grier Hammond Henchy, “understand why you made that choice,” to which she responded, “One of them does, but the other one doesn’t,” elaborating that her younger daughter Grier “will always be upset with me.

In the documentary, the actress playing the Mother of the Bride admitted that her daughter, Grier, was taken aback by the information presented. She expressed regret for not preparing her daughter, stating, “I made a mistake as a mother.” The actress clarified that she hadn’t intentionally sprung it on her daughter and, given Grier’s dislike of surprises, the unexpected situation left her feeling caught off guard, or as if she had been hit by surprise, which she described as feeling “cold-cocked.

The actress mentioned that she believed all would turn out well, assuming her daughter would comprehend that they were both healthy and unscathed. She expressed, “I thought she would be able to see us now and think something like, ‘Wow, you two have come a long way’ and ‘How impressive is that?’

Shields mentioned that her younger daughter, Grier, expressed strong disapproval towards the situation, emphasizing that she would never tolerate any harm coming her way.

Rowan, her elder daughter, considered the issue deeply before commenting, as she expressed, “Rowan pondered over it and stated, ‘It was challenging for me, but other women should witness this.’
