BROOKE Shields has revealed she was “dumbfounded” after a surgeon performed vaginal rejuvenation on her without consent.

Brooke, 59, spoke out about the invasive procedure in an interview with US Weekly ahead of the release of her upcoming book Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman.

Though she admitted to being embarrassed sharing the intimate story, she said she wanted to do so to instigate change around women’s health.

The incident happened while she was having surgery to reduce the length of her labia [labiaplasty] which had been causing bleeding and discomfort.

Following the operation, the surgeon boasted about giving her an extra treatment.

Model and actress Brooke said: “It felt like such an invasion — such a bizarre, like, rape of some kind.

“Nothing pointed toward this need to be tighter or smaller or firmer or younger, especially there.”

Vaginoplasty, which is often carried out for sexual reasons, tightens the vagina and is irreversible.

Brooke said she felt shame and kept the unwanted procedure secret from her husband, Chris Henchy, 60, for a long time.

The movie star has daughters Rowan, 20, and Grier, 18, with Henchy and last year sparked controversy when she revealed she still shared shared a bed with them.

She told SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show: “My younger daughter just turned 18. You know, the minute my husband is on any type of work trip or gone or something, you know, they still sleep in the bed with me.

“We still watch rom-coms. They’re my babies and they will never not be.”

Both Rowan and Grier began college in the autumn, prompting Brooke to admit she wasn’t ready for them to leave home.

She said: “Yeah, I’ve been avoiding thinking of it because people will say to me, ‘Oh, you’re gonna be so relieved,’ and I just don’t see it happening.

“I was like, ‘Well, they’re still gonna come back,’ and by the way, the cost of just living in this city is so prohibitive anyways that it may work in my favor.”
