Let me be the first male to speak out against an abusive female- Brooke Shields.   


It’s not just in black and white..  the NY District Attorney manipulated her as well.  But, she lied about sexual harassment/ which is bad if not worse.  Predators are sick, lying is just evil- all destroy. 


By all accounts, I’m a first responder... post 9/11 I lost someone I loved, I went to Ground Zero every day since the attack doing whatever I could.  I saw how the world rallied together and it helped ease the loss.  I also vowed to repay the kindness.. 


Post Katrina, I went to New Orleans 5x to help wherever I could.   I did the same after Haiti.  12/14/12- the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings struck my in my deepest fibre.  I knew the loss of siblings all to well, I subsequently lost a third, and I also knew what it was like to raise a little baby.  It took me 42 years to meet my little guy and I could never imagine ever losing him.  


The day of the massacre I saw a similar story of a shooting in Dunblane Scotland.  I was overwhelmed to see the small Scottish town come together and build a Children’s Center.  They honored the lives taken, supported the broken-hearted, and helped the town heal.  We would do the same- I even met with the Dunblane Chaplain in person upon his visit to Connecticut to best advise. 


But, no one was doing what I had proposed, so I called American billionaire Bill Ackman to mentor.  I solicited a super hero like the Wolverine- aka Hugh Jackman, the lovely Julianne Moore, the Latin swooner Ricky Martin, the kind hearted Liv Tyler, and the sassy Sarah Jessica Parker.. and an 80’s ICON who’s mother had looked after me as a kid.


Brooke Shields did not like it one bit.  In fact, although she didn’t want any harm to come to me, nor had she wanted charges filed, she did however file a complaint staring that our efforts to help Sandy Hook were not about Newtown, but was a rouse to get her attention.  


It was not.  


My fandom ended at 15- just as I had outgrown my boys size 12 Levi Slims, I outgrew my childhood crush, of course.  Brooke had also run her course at that time..  and in 1985 when I went off to college, it was Madonna on my collegiate walls...  


In our efforts with Newtown, we proposed a build which was accepted in 2016, at the very site we had been offered just days after the shooting.  


While in Newtown, as a first responder assisting the Firemen, and the Sandy Hook Police, we ultimately settled in to care for the memorial. When it came time to take it down, some 17 days later, we sought permission to rescue memorial items- stuffed bears, letter jackets, rosaries, etc.  


On Sandy Hook’s first anniversary, we reconnected with the aforementioned to keep in touch for their continued support.   Several stuffed bears, we named them ‘Chuck,’ were sent along to my neighbors along with an invite to a Hallmark Card sponsored invite to a tree trimming event in Newtown for their first anniversary.  Inside, ‘Chuck’ was included..  (the same letter was sent out to everyone.. just different headings..) to be held onto until the CenTer was completed and was distinctly ‘on-loan.’  The celebrity was then invited personally to Newtown and place the bear for its permanently resting place. 


Rather than come together to heal, like most other traumatic events, we were not supported by all.  And one made us a villain predator!  Us??!!  Me!  


Post 9/11 I have donated my entire being to fight abuses facing our children.  
Drinks with the Estefan’s, and then dinner and a show.  Guests of Rene Angelil and Celine Dion to discuss a theme song.  Dinner with Madonna and Carlos to gain their support..  lunch with mom and dad Gyllenhaal and Jake... Julie Moore hugs and kisses me post Oscar win.. and Brooke thinks Sandy Hook was to get ‘her’ attention?!?? 


Ms. Shields told the court that I had come by her home unannounced.  HOWEVER, I had asked permission before hand.  Ms. Shields wanted to have me seen as a stalker so she fabricated the same semblance of an an actual killer... (they also called the man John in court to be similar to mine.  His name was..  David, I believe..). David had an m.o. of sending stuffed animals to his obsession prior to his craziness...  Ms. Shields told the court that ‘Chuck’ was toys sent to her two daughters and then stated her daughters didn’t need any more toys.  (Chuck was you know was from the Sandy Hook Memorial which they produced in court stating to that effect. 


The bottom line, yes Ms. Shields was concerned.  The NYDA pounced believing they had an open shut high profile win.  I proved them wrong.  For two years they then offered me a slap on the wrist which I had rejected.  You cannot use children as pawns and get away with it.  The DA in order to save face suborned perjury- which is a crime in the United States and met with Ms. Shields to present their lies in court. 
 *Chuck was from Newtown and to be returned to Newtown.  Not to share with 2little pre-teens.

Hypervigilance is an enhanced state of sensory sensitivity accompanied by an exaggerated intensity of behaviors whose purpose is to detect threats.

Hypervigilance 
The process of hypervigilance involves a rapid scan of the situation, which then narrows to a highly focused level of attention if a potential threat is spotted. The threat rapidly takes on a sharper and more defined quality and signals a change in behavior. The person may find a reason to escape or avoid the threat, or if this is not possible may remain in a state of high arousal and attentiveness in which coping behaviors (e.g. seeking something or someone to hold on to) may result.

​Hypervigilance is characterized by increased physical and psychological arousal. Physically, the person may sweat, their heart rate increases, and breathing may become shallow and rapid. Emotional concerns can lead to a whole variety of behaviors that help make the person feel more secure. For example, carrying a weapon for fear of assault, or avoiding situations where people sit behind you, or being sensitive to sounds during the night and lying awake as a result.

Not surprisingly, hypervigilance is considered a common feature of various anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In some cases it can be extreme enough for the person to become almost entirely preoccupied with scanning their environment for threats. They may become agitated in crowded or noisy places and may adopt a variety of obsessive behavior patterns as ways of coping.

'We all suffer!  
How we proceed as a result
Is What Will define us.'

'Many of us know and
grew up with
Brooke Shields,
even as she grew older
in front of us
on the big screen
 
(in mostly forgettable 
roles),
and then later on
television in the show, “Suddenly Susan.”
So, when she sat down
to pen her memoir 
in battling Postpartum Depression, 

it sort of feels like
you’re sitting down
with an old friend
you watched grow up.

Down Came the Rain:
My Journey Through Postpartum Depression

By Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields’ name helps shed renewed light on this traumatic event that many mothers suffer and do not understand all too well. Medical doctors and nurses while well-meaning, don’t often even acknowledge the possibility of postpartum depression and their response is often limited to a, “Here, let me prescribe you  some anti-depressants." 

Brooke brings a warm, human voice to the tragedy of postpartum depression and, while at times repetitive, I found the book to be a heart-touching memoir of her successful navigation through a difficult time in her life. Eminently readable, it’s a recommended book for any mother who might be going through a similar event in their own lives. 

In 1980, when she was 15, Brooke starred in The Blue Lagoon. In the movie, her character accidentally becomes pregnant, and when her son is born, he intuitively finds his way to her breast as Shields looks on with love and contentment. The irony of this scene isn’t lost on the grown-up Shields, who not only did not become pregnant accidentally—numerous IVF cycles and a miscarriage preceded the 2003 birth of her daughter—but suffered a devastating aftermath to that birth.
“I was in a bizarre state of mind,” Shields describes, “experiencing feelings that ranged from embarrassment to stoicism to melancholy to shock, practically at once. I didn’t feel at all joyful.” Shields assumed she’d bounce back in a few days, after resting from her difficult labor. Instead, her feelings intensified: “This was sadness of a shockingly different magnitude. It felt as if it would never go away.”

​While Shields denied anything was wrong, the persistence of friends and her husband persuaded her to seek treatment through medication and therapy.   This brave memoir doesn’t shy away from Ms. Shields’s most difficult moments, including her suicidal thoughts, clearly showing the despair postpartum depression can wreak. While the writing is sometimes repetitive and clichéd, it does emphasize the depth of Shields’ depression.
