vice president kamala harris, traveling to tennessee to meet with the democratic representatives, ousted by the state's republican led house, expelled from the house of representatives. futures of those representatives now in the hands of local officials in their districts who have the power to reappoint them. representatives a justin jones, justin pearson and gloria johnson all face expulsion after they violated decorum last week . we will not be fine, interrupting proceedings demanding gun reform. um, leading a crowd of demonstrators through the house floor. jones and pearson using a bullhorn, black lawmakers expelled but gloria johnson, who is white, surviving removal by a single vote difference in the outcome. i will answer your question i might have to do with the color of our skin. what's your reaction? well, i mean, that's a false narrative on our part. yeah it's unfortunate. she's trying to put political racism

in this which there was nothing on this. they were all given due process. those protests coming on the heels of the deadly nashville elementary school shooting that killed three staffers and 39 year old students, jones and pearson, calling their ouster, political retaliation and a public lynching their legacy on the wrong side of democrats across the country wing. then at the tennessee congressional black caucus, outraged the world is watching tennessee and yet again , they're watching it for the wrong reasons. former president obama riding this nation was built on peaceful protest. silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won't lead to progress. thanks to alex, we turn now to brooke shields. more than 40 years after movies like pretty baby and blue lagoon made her a star and underage sex symbol. she's opening up about how she survived the dark side of fame. he's been outlined co

anchor juju chang. brooke shields occupies rarefied air even by hollywood standards famous since grade school. she's a model actress, author, ivy league graduate mother, daughter and more for most people, it would feed their ego to the point where you couldn't get your head through the door, but you somehow managed to stay grounded. well, i made myself quite small for very long time so as not to be a threat so as not to rock the boat again. now the world is getting to know a whole new side of this woman aside, she wasn't always ready to share thanks to a new two part docuseries, now out on hulu. pretty baby named after the movie that stirred up so much controversy. i was struggling to find my own voice. i wasn't told it was important to have agency. it's not about brooke shields, but it's brooke shields as social commentary about finding your voice and finding your agency and as women . we're not taught that this

project comes at a moment when so many are taking a hard look back at how this country and the media has treated celebrities like britney spears, lindsay lohan. paris hilton felt that the whole world saw me as the sex symbol, but inside, i didn't feel that way at all generations now reexamining the sexualizing of young women and girls using today's post meat to era perspective. the project is executive produced by abc's george stephanopoulos and his wife, actress ali wentworth, who is also one of shields. closest friends. what made you say yes to this project when so many had come to are you asking? to do them. ali came to me, and then she started talking to me about the theme being about the sexualization of young women. and i thought, okay, now you're interesting meeting in the opening scene, you're being interviewed. i think it's the mike douglas show, right. how do you feel about all this fuss

that's being made over you? i think it's kind of fun. you really are an exquisite looking young lady. i know you've been told about. is she a pretty pretty girl. you're a young child. here's a middle aged man focusing on your beauty and talking about it in that sense, i mean, there's a lasciviousness to all of it. you see in my face that it's uncomfortable. it didn't feel creepy to me because i had no i was so young. it really all seems quite inappropriate. um as to the ease with which there's supposed respected. journalists and the press were so quick to reduce what i thought was a really beautiful film to a lowest common denominator. that film she's talking about the 1978 historical drama, pretty baby, a role that catapulted shields to a list fame at the age of just 11 playing violet, a little girl raised in a brothel who becomes a child prostitute. that moment on i was no longer.

who was an actress. i became a focal point. for so many things good and bad. even at the time the film caused controversy, particularly in regard to shields to nude scenes, but most of the anger wasn't focused at director louis mall, but instead at someone much closer to shields in some ways your mom was demonized for allowing you to do it. and yet louis mall was celebrated as an artist. i mean, it's such an interesting double standard, you know, and it was the attacks on on my mother. and yes, that is part of the conversation. i understand that i really do understand the controversy, but nobody else was brought into any of it. there was no accountability. to anyone. shields would go on to star in some of the biggest

films of the eighties, including the blue lagoon when she was 14 , and just a year later in franco zeffirelli's endless love and, of course, who could forget those calvin klein ads? you want to know what comes between me and my calvins? nothing. for shields. there is a delicate line is incredibly proud of the film she made in those early years, but she readily admits she wouldn't have allowed her own daughters to take similar roles. how do you balance putting your mom in context and really understanding her but then also questioning some of her judgments? you know, i would have never questioned her ever when i was younger. i couldn't afford to, but to be able to look back and just acknowledge. but she made mistakes. mm i wouldn't make those same mistakes. but i wasn't a mother then and i have girls now and there's a lot that i've taken from her. so i looked back, and i think, yeah, that was not okay. but she thought she was

doing the smartest thing in the world. you give her so much grace. you know why? because there were things that i just had such empathy for her pain. and for her weakness and for her scars. and. and she was one hand such a force. and such a fabulous, broad and funny and beautiful, you know, you know she was my mama in the docuseries, particularly powerful moment plays out at the family dining table as her daughter's talk about their mom's early films, which they admit they had not seen, like pretty baby there nudity in it. yes nude twice. with 11 year old body. that's weird. weird why wouldn't you be able to see that movie today? why wouldn't that movie be able to be made today? everything's changed. it's called child pornography. technically everything is different now. you

do have shows like euphoria where you know you have girls that are young playing characters that do go through sexual things, but not 11. they're all like 25 playing like 16 your daughter at one point, says mom, that's like child pornography to hear those opinions. i had no idea they heard about that. and there's this sort of idea that the 25 year olds today are now playing the 16 year olds and the difference to them. it stood out to them that this was an 11 year old girl. let me ask you about tiktok. and let me ask you about instagram. when i see okay, by the way, different from 16. okay alright. that's exactly my answer hosts myself in a bikini , posting it gorgeous supposed to get herself. i think what's so interesting about that conversation, too? is that they believe and feel empowered. by what they post. mm but they're still presenting themselves to

be gazed at and to be liked and clicked and stared at it and analyzed and so it's slightly ironic and having those conversations and there should be no shaming in it. i understand that, but there's this other side, but you've got to. you have to own it, though to you, then can't complain about being objectified. shields eventually took a break from hollywood and went to college at princeton, where she says she gained confidence. that agency rocked, though, when she was trying to return to hollywood, and she says a man she wanted to talk to about a movie role, raped her. i didn't fight that much. i didn't. i just absolutely froze. i thought in my one no should have been enough. and i just thought stay alive. and get out. and i shut it out. you kept it secret for so long. i couldn't handle any other way. i knew i needed

to really find my own way of processing it. so what made you want to share it? finally? i didn't want to be, um, less than authentic and a documentary. that's all about this to leave that out. it just would have felt kind of not right and i have daughters now that are of the age where we really are having those conversations. i owned my narrative. i owned my truth now hoping young people watching the docuseries walk away with not just an awareness of the exploitation of young women, but the lessons learned. is there one thing of which which you're most proud. that dinner table. i mean to have come through sort of all of it and have my feet on the ground. i'm most proud that i didn't become jaded and angry and that you know that i fought for my talent. i made a decision and i was very specific about it about husband about. new york about education for my girls about how

my girls were going to be raised, and i all my life. i knew that i needed a home to come back to when you leave the crazy and it saved me. you've saved that little girl. yes i think i did. i heard her. thanks to juju pretty baby. brooke shields is now streaming on hula. up next. broadway power couple. my interview with hamilton's star leslie odom, jr and his wife, nicolette robinson , on their first big collaboration. chair would look great in our new house. a new house a well, you should definitely see our geico could help you. save on homeowners insurance. nice tip. i'll give you two bucks for the chair to victorian antique. all right. how much for the recliner? then why? why i did that. get out of here. that is definitely not for sale. is this
