Brooke Shields, the renowned actress known for her role in Blue Lagoon, has recently shared some insights into her relationship with Tom Cruise. In her new memoir, Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which was released today, the 59-year-old opened up about her career, her family, and her marriage to Chris Henchy.
In one particularly interesting section, Brooke revealed her feud with Tom Cruise. It all started when she spoke about her experience with postpartum depression in her book, Down Came The Rain, which was published in 2005. This resulted in a heated interview between Tom and Matt Lauer on the Today show, where Tom publicly criticized Brooke for taking antidepressants and claimed that they couldn't cure anything.
Brooke, not one to stay quiet, responded with an op-ed in the New York Times, calling out Tom for his "irrational and dangerous comments." In her latest memoir, she reflects on this feud and admits that she may have stayed quiet if it had happened before she became a mother. But now, with more life experience, she was not afraid to stand up for herself and others.
Brooke also shared that she suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to her daughter Rowan in 2003. She credits her medication and weekly therapy sessions for helping her and her family through this difficult time. She also pointed out the harm in Tom's comments, stating that they were a disservice to mothers everywhere.
Interestingly, Brooke revealed that Tom later came to her house to personally apologize for his remarks. While it may not have been the best apology, Brooke accepted it and moved on. She also mentioned that she fired her publicist who initially advised her not to respond to Tom's comments.
In her memoir, Brooke also opened up about her marriage to Chris Henchy, whom she married in 2001 and shares two daughters with. She admitted that as she gets older, her sex drive has decreased due to the "bodily drawbacks of aging." She also shared that she regrets not fully embracing her sex drive when she was younger and now relies on "lotions and potions" and other aids to fully enjoy it.
Brooke also spoke about her doctor suggesting she take testosterone to boost her sex drive, but she hasn't taken that step yet. For now, she's relying on the idea that "the more you have it, the more you'll enjoy it."
As always, Brooke's candor and honesty in sharing her life experiences are refreshing. And with her new memoir, she hopes to bring attention to important issues such as postpartum depression.
