I wouldn't be surprised. I'd forgotten that the storyline develops so that Brooke's character forms a sexual relationship with the photographer who simultaneously treats her like a father, and she's all of 12. It's extremely gross.

I think she's naked on a silver platter in the "auction" scene but in such a way that nothing is really seen.

Y'all are triggering my memories of long ago Time magazine and my local paper going into how that was uncool at the time (1978). By 1982 however that same columnist was harping openly about how Shields was hot. Shields was 15 at the time.

I really dislike Shields, because when she came of age in 1985, she had a responsibility to step away from the "no one stands between me and my calvins" ads, not get more invested in them given that she was ONLY a celebrity because of her underage pedo-adjacent routine.

When Shields appeared in SVU as a grandma, I had to LOL. That woman has now had 37 years to acknowledge that what happened to her also affected an entire generation of young girls.

She has never acknowledged, let alone apologised.
