Brooke Shields recently appeared on an episode of Dax Shepard and Monica Padman's "Armchair Expert" podcast, where she opened up about her gigs as a teenage model. The most controversial topic was the advertisement she did with Calvin Klein at just 15 years old, where she famously said, "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing." Many were upset by this line, claiming it was overly sexualized for someone as young as Shields.
While the ad got a lot of attention, Shields felt she was truly over-sexualized in an interview with Barbara Walters where she was asked questions like, "What are your measurements," and, "Do you have any secrets from your mother?" (via CNN).
Shields told Shepard, "It's practically criminal. It's not journalism." Shepard would agree with her, calling Walters' conduct "maddening."
While Shields was upset by Walters, she said she was unaware of the Klein campaign's double entendre. "I was naive, I didn't think anything of it," she recalled, saying, "I didn't think it had to do with underwear. I didn't think it was sexual in nature. I'd say that about my sister, nobody could come between me and my sister."
