I... I don't think it's a good idea to ask for sources of playboy images of a 10 year old

^ Because surely there aren't articles condemning the spread without actually showing it. Fuck outta here Brutai.

There are certainly other ways to corroborate the legitimacy of this claim.

I honestly wasn't sure if the poster was actually asking for censored images or not.
This is CE after all. People here creep me out.

"Fun fact"

In July 1978, at the age of thirteen, Brooke Shields made front page news in Photo Magazine. The young American film prodigy was promoting the film Pretty Baby directed by Louis Malle. In the magazine, a ten-year old Brooke is shown wearing makeup, her glistening body posed naked in a bathtub. The picture comes from a series taken by Garry Gross, an advertising photographer from New York who was regularly employed by Brooke's mother to photograph her daughter, then a model with the Ford agency. At the time, Gross was working on a project for publication entitled The Woman in the Child, in which he wanted to reveal the femininity of prepubescent girls by comparing them to adult women.

Brooke Shields posed for him both as a normal young girl and in the nude, her body heavily made up and oiled, receiving a fee of $450 from Playboy Press, Gross's partner in the project. Her mother signed a contract giving Gross full rights to exploit the images of her daughter. The series was first published in Little Women, and then in Sugar and Spice, a Playboy Press publication. Large prints were also exhibited by Charles Jourdan on 5th Avenue in New York.

In 1981, however, Brooke Shields wanted to prevent further use of these pictures and tried unsuccessfully to buy back the negatives. A legal battle then began between Shields and Gross with Gross being sued for a million dollars. Brooke Shields claimed that her mother had agreed to give up her rights for one publication only and that the photographs caused her embarrassment. In addition, they had been published, and would probably be published again, in revues of dubious morality. Her lawyers immediately obtained a provisional measure forbidding the use of the pictures until the end of the trial. The case was won by Gross with the court considering the contract signed by Brooke Shields' mother to be valid and binding on her daughter. Brooke Shields appealed and once again obtained a provisional ban on the use of the photographs.

Finally, after a procedure lasting for two years, the appeal court confirmed that Brooke could not invoke her right to annul the contract and that she was legally bound by her mother's signature. The court once again reaffirmed Gross's right to freely exploit the use of the pictures other than in a pornographic context. After the failure of their arguments concerning the validity of the contract, Brooke's lawyers decided on a new strategy, attacking Gross for violation of Brooke Shields' privacy. The actress claimed that the publication of the images caused her distress and embarrassment. Brooke Shields' acting career, however, weakened the credibility of this argument since it had clearly been built by projecting an explicitly sexual image of herself. Whatever the case, the court considered that "these photographs are not sexually suggestive, provocative or pornographic, nor do they imply sexual promiscuity. They are pictures of a prepubescent girl posing innocently in her bath". The court rejected all Brooke Shields' claims and decided in Gross's favour. The trial however, had ruined him financially and had tarnished his reputation. In addition, a change in attitudes towards the "politically correct" had sullied the photographs.

The story, nevertheless, had an unexpected development. In 1992, a contemporary artist called Richard Prince approached Gross about buying the rights to use and reproduce the image of Brooke Shields. In his artistic work, Prince appropriates pictures by rephotographing them, recontextualizing them and giving them a title. The picture of Brooke Shields, for example, is entitled Spiritual America. Gross was willing to retrocede his rights to Prince for a series of ten prints. Prince became a star of the contemporary art scene and his picture was sold at Christies in 1999 for $151,000.

Why are they so eager to sexualize girls? They couldn't have waited at least 4-5 more years?

Edit: EEEEWWWWW Brooke shields? She is so fugly. Never understood how she was ever desired.

Yeah, I think these pictures legitimately robbed her of her childhood. I hope she's awarded billions for this.

Jesus Christ, even just googling her name brings up some of the pics. And I'm not talking about on Google Image, I was looking for a pic free source to post and it came up under the "related images" thing.

This was the cleanest article I found:

Also, apparently this happened with someone named Brooke Shields as well, but only in the US. Wtf

You must be pretty young.

It's amazing to me that people like Brooke Shields & Drew Barrymore were able to become seemingly normal, well-adjusted adults after being thrust into extremely adult situations at such young ages.

Definitely not. 32, just not much of a movie watcher. Grew up too poor to afford movies lol

EDIT:

Yeah, literally never seemed to be in a noteworthy movie. I feel less bad for not knowing such an obscure actress

To be fair (as in, a terrible reason) that was her job, to take pictures of women like this. It's not like she was only taking pictures of her daughter, but it's still horrible.

I guess you didn't have the CK Jeans commercials in your Country then? But you have to remember, those came out in 1981, so it is older than you. No one was taking a shot, lol

My huge crush on her came from The Blue Lagoon as my main source of material to "grow up" to when I was like 11 or 12 in the early/mid-90s

Is Drew Barrymore a well adjusted adult? She was doing coke at like, age 12. Honestly that's just uncomfortably awful.

IIRC, she had sex with a man in his 20s at 15, and she described the experience as unpleasant. She couldn't even look at his face afterwards.

I remember her in charlie's angels and the last movie I remember with her was a reunion with adam sandler where she has amnesia in a hawaii type location. Don't know whatever happened to her and what she's up to now. I don't remember any stories of her doing blow and the like in the 2000s but I might just not remember anymore.

Probably a producer or something right so that she could get a role. Otherwise I wonder why a girl would even go through with that.

I think he was just a random guy she decided to hook up with to lose her virginity. She just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I remember her saying in the interview, "is that it?".

It could have been worse.

She made her movie debut at the age of eleven in 1976, playing a child in Roman Polanski's movie The Tenant.

Well she was on a consistent stream of narcotics and stimulants and all manner of booze so I'm not even gonna try to wrap my head around her logic. I hope the industry no longer drives kids wild like that, I hope the past 30 years has provided some change.

So, in the 70's you could be a fully grown man and go to the bookstore to buy a copy of Playboy to see a naked 11 year old girl

That's so weird to think about
