Brooke Shields’ Younger Daughter ‘Had No Idea’ Mom Was Sexually Assaulted Until She Saw Pretty Baby Doc: ‘I Was Shocked’ (Exclusive)

Brooke Shields' younger daughter says it was hard to learn of her mom’s sexual assault and 'couldn't even get through' the documentary, 'Pretty Baby.'

“Part of being a mom is learning from your kids,” Brooke Shields tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview with her daughters, Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, in this week’s cover story. 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.’” “She ended up missing the happy part,” Brooke says, who shares both daughters with her comedy writer husband Chris Henchy.
