Her torrid freshness became an underground legend among the talent set. Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable Brooke Shields to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal, but oh, so sweet. Welcome to the end of innocence, Brookie.

Multiple people had to okay that. How? HOW????

This is an unhinged paragraph about a 13 year old.

Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable [anyone] to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal, but oh, so sweet.

Is a criminal thing to say about anyone at any age.

Even saying that about an adult is suspect.

How about Kid Rock on Saturday Night Live talking about not waiting till the Olsen twins turn 18 literally saying "If there's grass on the field, play ball!". If you didn't know, the Olsen twins were famous for their portrayal of the baby/toddler in Full House as well as a plethora of children's adventure videos starring them at various super young ages.

This is the same Kid Rock who sang lyrics about child sex in a children's movie and just headlined the Alt-Right Superbowl not-quite-halftime show.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I haven't ever watched SNL because that show is better when filtered into secondhand aggregates.

But Kid Rock is a disgusting creep who only has a platform anymore because the GOP can't get anyone else with a preexisting fanbase who is stupid enough to openly pitch pedophilia to their voters.

He should've had a rock through the mouth decades ago.

I hadn't linked that video this often since...well...ever.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

She’s even 12, says in the article

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It really was the worst of times

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh this shit is still going on. There were people in the late 90s early 00s that were counting down the days when the Olsen twins would turn 18.

Would not surprise me one bit if there are websites dedicated other child celebrities.

[–] baronvonj@piefed.social 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And following them ... Emma Watson all throughout the Harry Potter series.

[–] Palerider@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

Before those, Charlotte Church in the UK press.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I remembering having a crush on Hermione. Emma Watson was also older than me, though, and I remember thinking that adults perving on her was gross.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago

Emma watson as well

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Multiple people had to okay that.

Did they though? Back in the 70s? I wasn't alive so this is a real question, but "Okay"ing things before publishing feels more recent than that. Especially in something like high times.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 days ago

According to someone else in this thread it was written by the founder and owner, as well. You can still publish weird predatory shit about a tween now, although you'd probably try to stay anonymous.

If anything more people would've had to okay the article in the '70s because back then people still had to do manual typesetting and layouts, with specialists assigned to those roles, rather than writers being able to put together a finished article on their desktops like today.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I also wasn't alive, but tons of people okayed this. I don't understand how her parents not only pushed her to be a model, but found the right people to fight over the legal "right" to keep and distribute photos of a 10-year old that if you saw them today would send you straight to jail. Or get you an appointment as a cabinet secretary, I'm not sure if you're a millionaire or not.

Don't ask Danish people about which kind of porn was not only legal, but actively produced in their country up until the '90s...

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

Don't ask Americans about the movie starring an underage Brooke Shields where her virginity being auctioned off is a plot point.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Her parents okayed it and exploited her, especially her mom. She was in multiple movies as a child with nude scenes. As in, there were multiple movies with child porn in it released, commercially, in the United States. I genuinely don't understand how so many people didn't just come out and say "wooooah, this is child porn." A few did, but not many. Not that the Epstein Class didn't exist before, but JFC, to be so blatant...

I'm also always astonished that she didn't end up on the typical abused child actor track and ended up having a career as an adult.
