Brooke Shields claims ex Andre Agassi used backhanded compliment to body-shame her: ‘I started to spin a bit’
“Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old,” the “Mother of the Bride” star, 59, claimed her ex-husband Andre Agassi left her spinning “a bit” after giving her a backhanded compliment about her weight.“I was very specifically told I was not runway worthy, because I wasn’t skinny enough,” Shields wrote in chapter 6 of the book, reflecting on messages she received about her looks throughout her career.“Being told you are ‘the face,’ you begin to believe that’s all you are — a face,” she added. “From the neck up, I was Brooke Shields, but it was like my body existed in a different reality.”During her brief marriage to Agassi, the “Pretty Baby” star shared her body image struggles with the tennis pro.
