Brooke Shields says Barbara Walters interview from her teenage years is ‘actually criminal’
“It’s practically criminal,” Shields told Shepard. “It’s not journalism.”
Shepard agreed, calling it “madness”.
The ad campaign in which teenage Shields asked “You want to know what happens between me and my Calvins? Nothing,” fueled her modeling career and caused controversy.
“I was naive, I didn’t think about it,” Shields recalls. “I don’t think it has anything to do with underwear. I don’t think it’s sexual in nature. I mean that about my sister, no one can come between me and my sister.”
“If they had intended on double enemies, they wouldn’t have explained it to me,” she added. “It didn’t fascinate me. It didn’t come to my psyche because it was anything overly sexual, sexual in any way.”
Since that interview with Walters, Shields has been photographed several times with the journalist, now 92 years old and retired from public life.
CNN has reached out to a representative for Shields for comment on whether she ever told Walters that the interview made her uncomfortable.
