Barrymore, who sat cross-legged on the couch, inches away from Shields and sometimes sounded choked-up while discussing her young life with one of the few people on the planet who could relate to her upbringing in the spotlight, asked Shields what she made of the MeToo movement when it emerged.
“No, because I didn’t know where I fell on the spectrum of it,” said Shields, whose sexuality was commodified by older male directors like Louis Malle , but who did not report abuse or resulting trauma, per se. “I don’t know where to interpret my experiences, because I was made to feel culpable and [at] the same time…you victim-shame yourself?” she continued. “But we were so young, and it was so ‘appropriate’…I couldn’t feel sorry, I didn’t even know what it was.”And so, when people began to step up and share their stories about being abused by Hollywood higher-ups, Shields felt adrift. “When it was called out to me as such I was like, ‘Nope, uh uh…not going there,’” said Shields.
