Teri Shields -Brooke's mom- would she have gone to prison today?

Teri Shields makes Patsy Ramsey and Kris Jenner seem like Olivia Waltons.

Teri had young Brooke play a child prostitute and, more disturbingly, she had pre-pubescent Brooke pose in the nude for sexual photographs, outside the narrative of a film. Then when Brooke was a teenager and young adult, Teri pushed the idea that Brooke was still a virgin and this goody-two-shoes image had the opposite effect: Brooke seemed like a freak and never won prestigious acting roles.

I admire Brooke for surviving this nightmare of a mother.

She was an OTT stage mother who allowed Brooke to be overly sexualised as a child model, allowing 14 year old Brooke to appear, with her shirt half undone, in a CK as campaign declaring nothing comes between her and her Calvin’s. Not to mention that in private Terry was also a hardcore drunk.

But neither then or now would Brooke’s mom be in any trouble for her poor parenting choices nor would she come close to losing custody of her daughter. You have to do much much much worse.

Brooke's paternal grandfather was pretty hot.

I think her fathers side was pretty good looking r4. She has quite the impressive family tree too, going all the way back to French royalty.

Brooke's paternal grandfather, Francis X. "Frank" Shields, was a tennis pro.

OP, don't try so hard. You come across stupid and unentertaining. It's not witty or cute.

You're a frau shit stirrer. No wonder your daughter cuts herself.

Brooks looks faded early. She was gorgeous in her teens and early 20s, but by her mid 30s she was no prettier than any other sitcom star.

What did Brooke's father see in her mother, she was an ugly mannish looking woman and an alcoholic to boot! I don't recall ever reading that Brooke's mom came from wealth. What am I missing?

R12 apparently she was a model early on so I guess she wasn’t always plain looking. By the time Brooke was a star she was in her mid forties so who knows what she looked like before that. She may not have been a big drinker when she knew him.

Teri’s father was a chemist, so I guess her family were financially ok. But who knows how they met. Their marriage only lasted a couple of years.

OP, you would have never heard of Brooke Shields if it wasn't for her Mom. Got to take the good with the bad.

Brooke was drawn to Andre Agassi because they both had horrible stage parents and shared a history of abuse at the hands of these parents (verbal/emotional). In fact, Agassi's sister - a promising tennis player herself - broke free from her father's abuse by marrying the much-older Pancho Gonzales - former top player and then coach.

Brooke’s paternal grandmother was an Italian princess. Not a royal princess, mind you. But from a decent noble family. More on her grandmother’s line at the link

Teri Shields wasn't bad looking when she was young.

Brook as a baby in r17 looks like a mutant. You'd never imagine that baby would grow up to be the most beautiful girl in the world, only to hit the wall early & end up looking like a tranny.

I love her on The Middle.
