Brooke Shields' daughter didn't know about mother's sexual assault until she watched 'Pretty Baby' documentary

Brooke Shields' younger daughter, Grier, recalled learning about her mother's sexual assault for the first time when she watched the actress's 2023 documentary "Pretty Baby."

The two-part series took an all-encompassing look at Shields' career and detailed the intense media scrutiny and sexual objectification she faced as the star of the controversial movies "Pretty Baby" and "The Blue Lagoon." 

In "Pretty Baby," which premiered February 2023 at the Sundance Film Festival, Shields, 59, revealed for the first time she had been raped in her 20s by an unnamed industry professional.

Grier recently joined her mother and her sister Rowan, 21, for an interview with People magazine, in which she remembered her shock over the revelation.

"I was learning about things the same time that the world was and I just took it more deeply and personally," Grier said. "I couldn't even get through it."

Shields, who shares her two daughters with her husband Chris Hency, explained that Rowan knew about the assault, but Grier was unaware.

"I didn’t prepare her," the model admitted. "It was a miscommunication. I had explained it was an exploration of sexualization of women in my industry but I was naively thinking that because we had such a solid, healthy, fairly normal existence and I’m not completely damaged that she would say, ‘Wow you’ve come through a lot but look where we are today.’" 

The two-time Golden Globe Award nominee said she regretted not discussing her experience with Grier beforehand upon seeing her daughter's reaction.

"I told her 'but there’s a happy ending' and she said, ‘I will never be okay with thinking something bad happened to you,'" Shields recalled. 

"She ended up missing the happy part," the actress continued. "She felt helpless, and just as a mom, we make mistakes and sometimes we make assumptions."

"To see the documentary or to see your parents as a public figure that other people have opinions on is just an odd situation," Shields acknowledged.

"Part of being a mom is learning from your kids," she said. "I’ve learned a lot by listening to them."

"Pretty Baby" was released in April 2023 on Hulu. In a March 2023 interview with People magazine, Shields opened up about being sexually assaulted and explained why she was ready to share her story after more than three decades.

"It’s taken me this long to process it… I was never ready prior. I had to process it in my own way and on my own terms," Shields said.

"Everybody processes their own trauma on a different timeline… it just felt like the right time now."

Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin confirmed dead, along with 5 others

Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin has been confirmed dead, his family announced early Sunday.

Goldberg-Polin, 23, was abducted at a music festival in southern Israel during Hamas' Oct. 7 attack against the Jewish State. He lost part of his left arm to a grenade in the attack.

His body was recovered Saturday in the tunnels under Rafah, along with five other hostages, after being killed by Hamas.

A dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, he immigrated to Israel with his family in 2008 at the age of seven, according to a statement from his family. He leaves behind his parents, Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, and his two sisters.

DEFENSE MINISTER SAYS ISRAEL MUST 'WIDEN THE GOALS' OF WAR TO RETURN RESIDENTS TO THE NORTH

Goldberg-Polin's family and friends traveled the world demanding his release and met with world leaders, including officials in the Biden administration.

President Biden said he is "devastated and outraged" by the news of Goldberg-Polin's death.

"It is as tragic as it is reprehensible," he said. "Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. And we will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages."

Vice President Kamala Harris, also the Democratic nominee for president, said her prayers are with Goldberg-Polin's loved ones as they mourn his loss.

"Hamas is an evil terrorist organization," Harris said. "With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas' continued brutality, and so must the entire world. From its massacre of 1,200 people to sexual violence, taking of hostages, and these murders, Hamas' depravity is evident and horrifying."

"The threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel — and American citizens in Israel — must be eliminated and Hamas cannot control Gaza," she added. "The Palestinian people too have suffered under Hamas’ rule for nearly two decades."

The other bodies recovered on Saturday are Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Master Sergeant Ori Danino.

The six victims were shot by their captors shortly before Israeli Defense Forces arrived, according to the IDF. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he "embrace[s] their families with all my heart, and apologize[s] for failing to bring them home safely."

"A few hours ago, we informed the families that the bodies of their loved ones had been located by IDF troops in an underground tunnel in Rafah," IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement. "According to our initial assessment, they were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them."
