The complicated relationship Brooke Shields had with her mother wasn’t helped by Teri Shields’ questionable management decisions. Per The Guardian, Brooke’s first naked photo shoot was for Playboy’s “Sugar’n’Spice” when she was 10. And she featured in endless swimwear campaigns before she turned 16.
Brooke’s daughter, Grier Henchy, looks just like her mom, so it wasn’t a shocker when she announced that she wanted to become a model. However, she was still a minor then, and Brooke didn’t want Grier to experience the negative sides of modeling she was subjected to as a child. During an appearance on “The View,” she explained, “I fought it for a while. I gave in because these kids, she’s going to fight me, fight me, fight me. The more I fought her, the more she was going to fight me to do it.”
Brooke said that, in the end, she decided that if Grier was going to model, she’d make sure she did it safely and with the right guidance. Brooke wouldn’t be her momager. Instead, she introduced Grier to the renowned agency IMG, which only books campaigns for their clients once they’re 18. “But what I said is, ‘Alright, if you’re going to do this, you’re going to listen to me.
