The actress played a 12-year-old forced into sex work opposite her 29-year-old co-star, Keith Carradine, in the controversial film.
Many celebrities like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have confessed that their kids refuse to watch some of their biggest blockbuster hits.
Apparently Brook Shields’ daughters, Rowan and Grier, feel the same way about one of her most popular yet wildly controversial films “Pretty Baby,” and honestly it’s for good reason.
In the 1978 historical drama, Shields, now 59, portrayed a 12-year-old girl who was raised in a New Orleans brothel and forced into sex work.
Outrage from audiences over “Pretty Baby” has persisted following its release as it contains multiple inappropriate scenes, including Shields’ character having her virginity auctioned off at a brothel and a scene in which she appears completely nude.
“I don’t like this movie,” Grier, 18, told People in an interview published Thursday. “I’ve seen enough of it on TikTok. I would prefer not to watch my mom being sold, as an 11-year-old prostitute. I’d rather watch the funny and happy ones.”
