​Brooke Shields agreed to participate in a doc about her life and career not because of what it would say about her, but for what it could say through her — namely, a discussion about the sexualization of young girls.
By now, the celebrity bio-doc is well-trod territory, but Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, which premieres Jan. 20 at the Sundance Film Festival, aspires to be more than a career retrospective. “I’m not interested in famous-person problems. What I am interested in is how fame can amplify and supercharge relatable problems,” says director Lana Wilson, who most recently directed the Taylor Swift Netflix doc Miss Americana. “[Brooke’s] life has been extreme and utterly unique, but her experience of being a woman in America is horrifyingly relatable.”

The doc, which sometime after its Sundance debut will be released in two parts on Hulu, draws its name from Louis Malle’s 1978 drama that, while critically acclaimed, was widely criticized for featuring child prostitution and a nude preteen Shields. The doc’s archival work includes magazine covers with headlines like, “I’m Shocked by the Child Who Drives Men Crazy” (Shields was 9 at the time) and a parade of clips of male late night hosts questioning a prepubescent Shields about her sexuality in the wake of Pretty Baby. This is intercut with talking-head academics and sociologists who offer historical and cultural context about the objectification of girls.
“To me, that felt like a much more intelligent, interesting way to approach a story — a person, a journey — through the lens of the changing climate and where we are today,” Shields says.
Of course, Pretty Baby, which counts Alexandra Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos as executive producers, does document Shields’ life, from her relationship with her mother, Teri Shields, to her friendship with Michael Jackson and a decades-spanning career that includes touchstones like 1980’s The Blue Lagoon, her iconic Calvin Klein ads and her later TV career with the sitcom Suddenly Susan. And, for the first time, she chooses to discuss a sexual assault by an unnamed Hollywood professional in a hotel room when she was in her 20s, after graduating from Princeton University, and experiencing a career lull.
“It was quite expanding to me to look at all of it, in its entirety, and be proud of who I am and how I’ve evolved,” says Shields, who talked to THR ahead of Pretty Baby’s Park City premiere.
​

Why was now the right time to make a documentary?
I have been approached multiple times, and it didn’t feel like the right entities for whatever the reason, and it also felt too soon, in many ways. On all the other situations, they either felt premature or they felt like they were coming at my story from the wrong direction. [This direction] took it out of the realm of just biopic.
Did you know what you wanted to relay to possible viewers heading into the doc?
Not at all. I went in extremely open. I am not the director of it, I’m not the producer. I trust the creative and the intellectual aspect of what that team brings to it. I got out of their way. I spent an extraordinary amount of time just talking and sharing the extensive archives that I had unbelievably finished the process of digitizing. My mother saved everything, so the material goes so far back. I’ve been around since quarter-inch, Beta[max], reel to reel. I figured, rather than it all disintegrating, I would go through the expense and the process of digitizing it. So when they came to me with a documentary, [I said] “I happen to have some materials.” (Laughs.)

The taxpayers of NYC pay xxxx. each day to prosecute misdemeanors.

90% of the remaining 1/2 are forced into accepting a plea.

Gentlemen,

Forgive the previous email that was sent before properly done.
In fact, the bulk will be in a link to my site as to not overwhelm you with what seemingly may be tried to reduce it to a family dispute like what Mrs. Casey tried.
​
Bottom line is, Mrs. Casey, feigning ignorance doesn’t quite allow you to then disregard laws.

For misusing her forged trustee authority, Ms. Oldenburg was removed from everything 10mo prior to her interference that caused her medical malfeasance.Mrs. Casey also thought she was very crafty in her Google search. What she hadn’t counted on that while it was very easy to plead for a disorderly conduct, I refused. The outcome at the time was expected, what wasn’t was how the people I had been working to heal, had my back.
They knew me. Many of them had also been the subject of a Sandy Hook conspiracy where someone used a horrific headline for their self gain.
Mrs. Casey is an idiot. An overweight, badly died self entitled idiot who is willfully violating her oath as a realtor, and gambling that I won’t be filing a loss with their insurer.
The reason why my defense has taken this long is that I had been trying to get my sister to withdraw so I don’t have to file charges of federal crimes to conspiracy to commit a crime that resulted in the loss of life.
All I wanted was to bury my mother with respect. for the:
“What I paid a private nurse $500. to do (my offer) was to dress her as described above, in secret. Out of spite, malice, and outright disdain.”
I hadn’t finished my thought.
I hadn’t finished my thought.

“my sister took. Just took! “
and...
End. Period.
Hold tight, update to follow.

Dear Mr. Long Mr. Asher
           Ms. Letitia James
           Mr. Kenny Parcel.

“Really, Koll! You can have it all.”
“There’s only one thing, I want. Let me take care of my mom the way she had wanted. The way we planned.
Allow me to give her a funeral like:
Kathy. 19 April age 33
Danny. 18 Sept age 25
Dad 4 Nov age 70
Kelly 23 July age 38
Mom 01 Dec age 77.

Everyone of us all had had calling hours, a service, lunch, and a burial. Danny is even buried in a $3000.00 Versace suit. Dad in his Levi’s, Florsheim's, and Patagonia- his always go-to dress up.

Mom hadn’t anything more than a calling hour with a Priest who couldn’t even get her name right.  Kelly. Literally the day before I was to fly and take my baby home, the funeral home had disclosed that at that very minute my sister, my world was literally being turned into ash.  My mother had her Italian Armani skirt, and a brilliant pressed white men’s style cuffed dress shirt. Chanel pearls, matching necklace and her Bulgari serpent ring.

Instead of ever honoring my mother, Kolleen had my mother buried in pieces, parts still in plastic bags, and whatever pieces my mother was left in, my sister hadn't bothered to have her clothed and thought an old robe would suffice.

​However, what I paid a private nurse $500. to do (my offer) was to dress her as described above, in secret. Out of spite, malice, and outright disdain my sister continues to abuse my mother long after her death.  Had I not known my sister all too well, I'd have never thought anyone could be so despicable.

BACKGROUND AND SYNOPSIS

In 2005, Mr. Chris Henchy and I met after a Broadway play. After introducing myself to him, he grabbed me and said that I had to meet his wife, Brooke Shields personally. There had been a gift sent that she was so in love with that she had told me point blank, 1. It was too nice to share, and 2. It would remain on her bed-room bureau... I was very pleased because throughout my life I had developed a sense of gratitude to the Shields' after their stepping in and having my abuser prosecuted. Through Mrs. Shields' kindness, I was no longer a victim of abuse, but a survivor..

After many kind words were exchanged, I gave a friendly man to man friendly punch-to-the- shoulder and said my good-byes making Mr. Henchy promise to take good care of Brooke, and that she was then very important to us.

There was no further communication from 2005 aside from my attending 2 or 3 Broadway shows.. There are equally that many that I had not seen, nor had any wish to given the subject matter of one, and the sole ‘singing’ of another. Incidentally, it was at a close friend’s club which I couldn’t frequented at no cost..

My father had died in November of 2012, and things that were once his became more valuable/sentimental to me. Roughly some time in 2014, I stumbled upon a gift Mrs. Teri Shields gave me personally out of the goodness of her heart. The loss of a parent is tough enough, but the loss of a grandparent is especially tragic because this relationship ends when the child is often quite too young and all they have are their young memories to hold on to. Since I was given such a kind gift of a heart shaped silver framed young Brooke, I felt obliged to return it to its rightful owner, Brooke with a comment that I thought her eldest daughter would appreciate it more that I. At the time it seemed to be the right thing to do- a 'paying it forward.' Brooke would later state in court that my gesture was a 'target-' which both the Ms. Shields and her attorney Assistant District Attorney Anjelica Gregory knew to be false. When all is said and done, I'd still repay the kindness- I'd still give it to her again. Brooke knows her children were never a target- she simply told the court what was needed to achieve the results wanted- me away no matter the cost. In this case, even if it was her committing perjury to do so.

And why not? Perjury is rarely enforceable.

In 2014, I received a mailing from Ms. Shields inviting me to several events to which she was to speak on behalf of a book she had published. During one event the mc was kind enough to ask if there were any questions in the audience, so I put my hand up. We spoke of my 'paying it forward' and attributed my philanthropic work to her mother who had been kind to a child a long time ago. Brooke then asked if there was a question, and I just said no. I had only wanted to say thank you. She moved on and before I knew it I had said, yeah I do have a question after-all.. but someone had already begun to speak, and Brooke smiled at me, and I smiled back.

The next event was several hours later at a book signing at Barnes and Noble- also personally invited through her social media. (If I was as they say, you'd think I would have been removed from her lists- I wasn't because I wasn't a threat.). While I joined the line to have my book signed, I didn't solicit a conversation, but when Brooke saw me, she quickly apologized for not getting to me to ask my question at the previous event.. She took it upon herself to engage me, I might add, and I did ask my question.

In just a few months later, I would run into Ms. Shields in my neighborhood. For the record, Ms. Shields moved within 2blocks of me.. and despite her living so close, I had only run into her a total of maybe 3 or 4 times over the course of many years. Again, if I was as they would you to think, I would have known about her living so close to me. But, I hadn't until they had publicized it. Also, Ms. Shields had stated that after the AOLBuild event in which I was invited to speak, it was only after that she seemed to see me with any regularity. This again proved that the only reason I was even on her radar was because I had just re-intorduced myself to her just a few months ago. Which proves my argument all along. I was a fan at age 14-16 when going through adolescents and having to hide my abuse sustained- I thought everyone who looked at me could see what my 38year old neighbor had done to me.. so, I had to front my fascination of Ms. Shields to be one-of-the-guys.

Again, if Ms. Shields is just a few doors down from my pharmacy that I've been loyally patronizing for over 20years, and a local Thrift store that I would visit several times a week... I'd think I would become somewhat a familiar staple. Yet, I wasn't- Ms. Shields wasn't a priority- in fact she was rarely thought of. Ms. Shields in her initial complaint had told the court that from 2003- 2012, I had sat in the front row of her shows some 10 times. This is another fabrication both known to Ms. Shields and Assistant District Attorney Anjelica Gregory. Through discovery, Ms. Shields listed events in which I had attended. She did not have any specifics from any shows- which again means it was compiled after the fact. Incidentally, you have to present a credit card with ID to pick up tickets. Ms. Shields willingly and with full knowledge filed a false police report.

The quantity and severity of the many criminal acts committed against me has been so expansive that it has drawn the attention of a number of Human Rights organizations, who for nearly 7 months have collaborated on a pro bono comprehensive investigation and have helped me file a formal public corruption complaint with the New York City County Grand Jury. Ms. Anjelica Gregory, State Bar # is one of the primary public officials identified in this corruption.

The evidence provided herein proves unequivocally that ADA Anjelica Gregory of the Manhattan DA's office violated her oath of office, abused public trust, and made a mockery of our judicial system in her relentless pursuit of a criminal conviction. Ms. Gregory is also on record for stating she would soon thereafter leave the District Attorney's office for her participation of putting 'away' innocent people.

Ms. Gregory is with no moral compass. She did in fact upgrade from her criminal activities to secure a position with a high profile law firm where the average take home bonus is upwards to $4,600,000 (according to company records.) I'd like to then add that I can understand her greed but the oath of a civil servant should be more respected as the honor and privilege is well established. I'd like to think that I too would sell out, but if I may be honest, no amount of money could buy 'my' integrity.

I'd like to also add that for close to two years, I was constantly asked/ begged to accept a disorderly conduct. With advise from Assemblyman O'Donnell, I was told to not accept any plea if I was innocent- which I was. He also warned me that as long as I was fighting a celebrity I would not win. But, at that point the only thing important to me was the lesson I would ultimately be instilling upon my little boy. and 'perjury wasn't one of them even if it meant my freedom.

Specifically, the facts and evidence herein establish:

1. Ms. ADA Anjelica Gregory filed criminal charges on behalf of Ms. Brooke Shields even though insufficient probable cause existed.
2. Ms. ADA Anjelica Gregory filed charges despite Ms. Shields' testified objection.

The assumption of criminal behavior was based on the discovery from an extortion/ consumer site called Rip Off Report. This site defamed me in its accusations of being a child predator and running an illegal non profit. In 2010, thanks to Detective Paul Arroyo, these reviews were proven false. Yet, they remained because reports can not be removed. The only option was to then pay a $5,000- $100,000 service fee to have the reports 'buried.'

1. Ms. Anjelica Gregory then committed fraud to procure this deficiency by fabricating a false accusation of a crime (Ms. Shields made up a history of events that never took place, lied about situations, and even Ms. Shields' husband lied in court stating he had only one encounter with me despite documentation the prosecution released that clearly contradicted both Ms. Shields and her husband Chris Henchy.) to convince the judge that I should have reasonably known that Ms. Shields was fearful. All the while making up dots... a how to do to speak that was necessary to make a stalker out of a guy who's soul existence for the past 25 years was to eradicate abuse, and to stop the bullying- both I hold responsible for all the gun/school violence. Essentially, fabricate a skillfully crafted scenario to procure a wrongful conviction.
2. Subsequent to fabricating her false accusations, Ms. Gregory had met with Ms. Shields dozens of times, as said in court, over the previous two years to create her testimony. The facts herein prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Ms. Gregory conspired with and coached Ms. Shields to elicit perjured testimony. They essentially re-wrote history which again contradicted a paid for security detailed 'Rinaldi' file. In addition, they trolled my social media accounts and created their own narratives. For example, someone had made a comment discrediting Ms. Shields and came to her defense on social media.

I could go on and on, but trust me when I say everything out of Ms Shields and Mr. Henche's mouths were lies. To further prove (my claims) any and all my actions and activities were/ are transparent on-line connected with evidentiary proof of no wrong-doing throughout multiple on-line sources referenced in court by prosecution.

I thank you for posting as well.

We lost #GrahamBerkekey- I lost Graham! I had just spent the summer with him on the Cape, and was moving back home that fall with him in Boston.

I am forever a Bostonian.

In fact, I didn’t go with Graham to Palm Springs that weekend because I was finishing up my two weeks at Wells Fargo.

Yes, many have a story...

We were evacuated after the first plane hit... all of us out on the street in the middle of NYC’s 5th Ave.

And then we all saw flight 175 hit.
We stood motionless- frozen in disbelief and terror.

After the very loud explosion, the sky became dark with smoke that followed with a sea of cascading glass, sparkling, and shimmering as it fell to earth.

The horror was not knowing then it was Graham. The trauma is replaying it over and over and over again.

I’ve yet to pay my respects to 1 World Trade despite my being less than a mile away. I can’t.
Nor, have I been able to speak to the (Graham’s) folks.

It’s why we build Sandy Hook. I know how the 26families feel.
3000 of us do.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💔

‘how could anyone think our work at Sandy Hook could possibly be about getting their attention.

That’s as sick as the madmen on board.

‘you’re very talented, Sir. However, I did have to look up several words just to keep up.

Let’s look at the children IN Cuties....
they’re sexualized as children do they’re then compromised as a result of the attention they then receive, or maybe how they then think of themselves.

Google us. We invited several notables in our neighborhood to a Hallmark sponsored event in Newtown to honor the lives senselessly taken on SandyHook’s 1st anniversary.

Hugh Jackman was gracious. As was Sarah Jessica Parker, Julianne Moore..
‘the only objection came from Brooke Shields who thought our entire involvement was to get her attention- that Hallmarks 26 original ornaments honoring each life lost was about her!

Brooke is a self obsessed hyper vigilant who is without doubt a sociopath.

‘for fuck sake she was hot at 15!
She’s been fat the next 40 years!
And god help you if she sings!
or acts!
the one time beauty truly fades.

But, I was also a 14y/o boy who needed desperately for Brooke to be his beard!

People v Rinaldi

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Kevin B. McGrath, J.), rendered June 17, 2016, after a nonjury trial, convicting him of stalking in the fourth degree (two counts), harassment in the first degree, and harassment in the second degree, and imposing sentence.

John Rinaldi appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County, Kevin B. McGrath, J., rendered June 17, 2016.

Judge Kevin McGrath stood in between sessions in the court lobby listening intently as Mr. Rinaldi complained that Judge McGrath appeared to be disabled in hearing, and in site.  McGrath continued to listen to a privileged conversation between defendant John Rinaldi as Mr. Rinaldi was complaining about actress model Brooke Shields manipulating the court in the all to obvious and all too often smile, hair rolling, and giggle as she committed perjury upon perjury upon perjury.  Mr. Rinaldi also complained out loud that every not he was taken was ignored by Defense Attorney Jon Stombely, of Manhattan Legal Aid.  Mr. Rinaldi also stated out loud that not only was Manhattan Assistant District Attorney, Anjelica Gregory Suborning Perjury, but that Judge McGrath was obvioulsly too stupid to care or that he too was bought by Gavin deBecker. 

Judge Kevin McGrath should have been recused, but Jon Stombely refused to make the motion just as he refused to defend the case.

After a nonjury trial, that allowed a compromised and deeply offended Judge Kevin McGrath to sentence not only Defendant John Rinaldi, but also all of us Sandy Hook families and Sandy Hook organizations who have been so deeply further terrorized victims of crazy conspiracists.

Judge Kevin McGrath, convicted John Rinaldi of a heterosexual crime of stalking in the fourth degree (two counts), harassment in the first degree, and harassment in the second degree for asking neighbor and acquaintance actress and model Brooke Shields to attend a Hallmark sponsored event  in Newtown to honor the 20 slaughtered age 6 to 7 year old babies, and 6 educators in the small village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, CT. 

Judge McGrath stated that there was no legitimate purpose to the Sandy Hook first Anniversary invitation.  

Hallmark Cards believes otherwise.
Hallmark believes that Sandy Hook was not only worthy, but that it was important enough to create a unique ornament to Mr. Rinaldi's specifications. 
Hallmark commemorated 26 original one of a kind ornaments that honored each life senselessly taken on December 14, 2012.
That same year, Mr. Rinaldi of the Sandy Hook Center not only held the event that was captured by Getty images, but had also invited several other notable neighbors.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.
Sarah and Matthew have known Mr. Rinaldi for some 30years at that point, and very generously not only offered their support, but Sarah was generous enough to offer her support should ABC's The View confirm an ask of a moment of silence. 
Executive Producer, at the time Brian Balthazar was also incredibly supportive and remains a support to Mr. Rinaldi to this day.
*A member of the Sandy Hook Center's board was Craig Zadan.  Craig had offered Sarah her break through role in Footloose, and was also a boyfriend of Mr. Rinaldi's.  
Matthew and John had also spent quite the night together when they all met over too many drinks and too much of another then questionable smokable plant.  So, much so that Matthew had invited John to join his Children's Young Artist United organization. 

John had just finished 3 months of working with the prolific and utterly brilliant Rob Reiner on the 1992 film, "A Few Good Men."  And although very grateful that THE Michael Ovitz, Rob Reiner, and Aaron Sorkin worked so hard with casting great Jane Jenkins to cast Mr. Rinaldi, John was very happy to be working with Matthew to help empower kids...

And the rest is history. 

Julie!  Julianne Moore is by far one of the greatest Hollywood legends of our time.  She is also to me, just Julie.  After her very famous Best Actress win in "Still Alice" Julie and John ran in to each other, as they often do.  They chatted, and Julie gave John a big kiss as he excitedly congratulated her on her win, and boldy announce that he knew she'd win deep in his bones.
The very day after Sandy Hook experienced the worst assault on our nation's children, John and Julie sat together in front of the West Village's Village Apothecary.  They consoled each other and shared in their horror and both discussed how it still couldn't be real, and how tragic.  John then shared his plans to build a Children's CenTer, and proudly declared who was his mentor/ advisor, and the centre's inspiration.
Julie was in, of course!
*Julie actually asked us to hold on to her bestowed upon Sandy Hook memorial items for her.
We, of course are.

Liv!  Liv Tyler is another neighbor of John's and he too asked Ms. Tyler to join Sandy Hook.  At the time, Liv only knew John as the man who had so often offered up his parking spot, the guy who had helped move in a desk, and the guy who often helped her decorate the front of her Brownstone during the many decorate-able holidays.

Liv was in as well, and agreed to hold on to the Sandy Hook memorial items to be replaced in Newtown.

We were even on Anderson Cooper's short lived daytime talk show.
He too was given a Sandy Hook memorial item and even had it commemorated.  

BROOKE was the only one who was so offended that she was asked to support Sandy Hook.  
Actually, the disdain came after.  
Google AOLBuild and you can actually see Ms. Shields not only acknowledge our work at Sandy Hook, but seemed to be pleased that we were paying forward the kindness her mother had shown us.  

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Anjelica Gregory Suborned Ms. Brooke Shields to commit Perjury. 

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Anjelica Gregory Suborned Mr. Chris Henchy to commit Perjury. 

Like Rep. John Lewis, we too get into 'good trouble."

At Sandy Hook, we took on a corrupt NYPD Sergeant- an unlawful Sandy Hook conspiracist, and won!

You need a Representative that won't back down, or be intimidated; that will hear your ideas and fight on your behalf; and who has earned your respect.

'look NO further!

The People of the State of New York
Respondent

against

John Rinaldi
Defendant /Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Kevin B. McGrath, J.), rendered June 17, 2016, after a nonjury trial, convicting him of stalking in the fourth degree (two counts), harassment in the first degree, and harassment in the second degree, and imposing sentence.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Kevin B. McGrath, J.), rendered June 17, 2016, affirmed.
The verdict convicting defendant of two counts of fourth degree stalking (see Penal Law § 120.45[1],[2]) was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the court's determinations concerning credibility. Ample evidence supported the conclusion that defendant engaged in a course of conduct from November 2013 through May 2015 that was reasonably likely to cause reasonable fear of material harm to the physical health or safety of the complainant, actress Brooke Shields (see People v Polanco, 57 Misc 3d 140[A], 2017 NY Slip Op 51348[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2017]).
Contrary to defendant's contention, the "reasonable fear" and "no legitimate purpose" elements of the offense were established by the testimony of the complainant and additional eye-witnesses, who testified that defendant repeatedly appeared at and lingered around Shields' home; followed her when she left her house; ignored numerous warnings by family, security and the police to stop contacting her; parked near her home for days at a time and slept in his car; and sent her unwanted communications, including a letter with a shirtless photograph of himself and an email to her publicist in which defendant referenced an actress that had been murdered by a stalker. The court could rationally infer that defendant's conduct was designed to hound, frighten, intimidate and threaten (see People v Stuart, 100 NY2d 412, 428 [2003]).
There was also a valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences from which the court could have determined that defendant's guilt of harassment in the first degree (Penal Law § [*2]240.25) and harassment in the second degree (Penal Law § 240.26[3]) was proven beyond a reasonable doubt (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d at 349).
Defendant's remaining arguments, to the extent preserved for appellate review, have been considered and found to be unpersuasive.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.

Decision Date: April 17, 2018

Dear Public Integrity.
To assist you in your discovery, I have published www.JohnMRinaldi.com

you can also review SandyHookCenTer.org.

Within the site, you will find more than enough to prove my position that Srgnt Kevin Blake viol. s. 175.3/4 to make quota/climb rank.

With all due respect, such gross abuse of power seems odd. Especially given Mr. Blake’s ranking within the NYPD. Now, we know how and why he rose to CO/Lieutenant.

This is also not unique to Mr. Blake- the cutting corner, the committing a misdemeanor crime. Disgraced NYPD Detective #JosephFranco, has been indicted the same thing.
In fact, if you google NYPD abuse of power, committing perjury you will find countless offenses.

TY.

Please look back soon.

Ms. Shields perjured a statement regarding her children and toys sent. The toy in question, did include a stuffed bear, but it wasn’t a toy. The bear was clearly identified as a Sandy Hook rescue, and he was actually given a name.

In fact, it was sent along with a Sandy Hook invite that was sponsored by Hallmark, and was captured by Getty Images.
The invite- the same exact invite sans a different recipient and their prospective addresses were also sent to:
actor Hugh Jackman
actress Sarah Jessica Parker
actress Liv Tyler and
actress Julianne Moore.

You will also have affidavits from them within the next few weeks.

Best,
John M. Rinaldi.
