They are scary situations. They don&#8217;t have to be violent to be scary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Endless Love&#8221; The star was just graduating from college, and was trying to find work. The actress went to dinner with a Hollywood executive, believing that she would be offered a job and a part in a movie.<\/p>\n<p>Shields stated that after dinner, the person suggested she call a taxi from her hotel room. She said that the assault took place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t fight,&#8221; In the documentary, the actress stated. &#8220;I just froze.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, she blamed her self for saying, &#8220;Why did I go up with him? I shouldn&#8217;t have had that drink at dinner.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was really easy to disassociate because by then it was old hat,&#8221; Shields said. &#8220;And because it was a fight-or-flight type of choice. Fight was not an option, so you just leave your body. \u2018You&#8217;re not there. It didn&#8217;t happen.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d always had a sense of disassociation from my body. From my sexuality,&#8221; She continued. &#8220;I was mostly a cover girl \u2026 And it was just easier to shut myself off. I was good at it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shields stated that she made the documentary because of her love for it. &#8220;with the hopes of helping people not feel alone.\u00a0Everybody processes their own trauma on a different timeline. I want to be an advocate for women to be able to speak their truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chris Henchy, a comedy writer and director, is the actress&#8217;s husband.
