The 57-year-old beauty icon however has had her fair share of detractors who tried to take away from her success. Now the actress is opening up about her relationship with her\u00a0mother\u00a0Teri who was her manager since Shields had been a child.<\/p>\n

Her mother was her first critic. The actress recalls, \u201cMy mother would get drunk and say: \u2018Why don\u2019t you move your fat ass?\u2019 So, I\u2019ve always believed I had a fat ass.\u201d She experienced body-shaming from her own mother which skewed how she viewed herself.<\/p>\n

In 2012, her mother passed away after a lifelong battle with alcoholism. But her remarks about Shields left an impact on the actress that was hard to shake. It took years to repair the damage that was done.<\/p>\n

In the end, it was her husband of 17 years Chris Henchy, a screen-writer who made the actress accept her body for what it was and made her see her own beauty.<\/p>\n

She shared, \u201cI would walk backwards out of rooms, and he\u2019d say: \u2018No, I want to grab onto you,\u2019\u201d Shields said. \u201cHe really celebrated my womanliness and my body. And I needed a man to celebrate me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was previously married to Andre Agassi from 1997 to 1999. She broke into Hollywood as a teenage actress but it was her iconic Calvin Klein jeans ad, shot by Richard Avedon in 1980 that made her into the icon she is today.<\/p>\n

While the actress was always considered beautiful by the masses, she shares how there would always be criticism about her. She said, \u201cI modeled swimwear when I was 15, and even then I didn\u2019t think I had a swimsuit body.\u201d \u201cI was a cover girl, not a supermodel. I was \u2018neck up\u2019 \u2014 the face, the eyebrows \u2014 and I was always described as \u2018athletic\u2019; \u2018not rail-thin\u2019; \u2018not a runway model.\u2019 Those messages, they seep into your consciousness,\u201d the actress finished.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, she did another swimsuit campaign and teamed up with Calvin Klein for a campaign yet again. She said she dedicated to the role and made sure she looked her best. \u201cI knew that if I didn\u2019t look my best, I\u2019d be embarrassed and mad at myself. I stopped drinking beer and wine, and I worked out three times a week. I was the best version of myself,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI was also hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is so surprising to see that even a greaty beauty like Brooke Shields was no stranger to insecurities. While the world considered her beautiful, her own mother and other detractors tried to make her feel less than.<\/p>\n

It is heartening to see that her husband countered her beliefs and reminded her of how beautiful she is; helping her accept her body for what it was.<\/p>\n

Recently, the actress has opened about a sexual assault that she went through more than\u00a030 years<\/a>\u00a0ago. In a recent interview with\u00a0People, Shields revealed she was assaulted by a Hollywood executive shortly after graduating from Princeton University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
