Brooke Shields reflected on her relationship with her mother and former manager, Teri Shields, and her notorious lawsuit against photographer Garry Gross during a Tuesday appearance on “The Howard Stern Show.” The appearance follows the release of her Hulu documentary “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.”
“She had this like crazy justification for things,” the actress said of her mother putting her in nude photoshoots at a young age. “She believed that as long as she was in my personal life, keeping me safe and virginal and pure and all that, that she was sparing me.”
Shields, who participated in a nude photoshoot for the Playboy Press publication Sugar ‘n’ Spice at 10 years old in 1975, sued Gross in an effort to keep the pictures hidden. But they were eventually published years later.
“He waited till I was famous to do it, too, which was just gross,” Shields said.

From the moment Brooke Shields was born, she was defined by her looks.
