Brooke Shields to Britney: If she wants to talk, I’m here
Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression author and actress Brooke Shields is reportedly reaching out to Britney Spears.
In case you are one of the two people who have not heard, Spears had a very public meltdown after months of non-stop partying ending in a climatic shaving of the head and one week of checking herself in and out of rehab. There has been much speculation that Spears is suffering from postpartum depression, as did Brooke Shields. Spears is mom to 18-month-old Sean Preston and (as yet unseen) 6-month-old Jayden James.
“I hope she’s fine,” Shields tells Access Hollywood. “I believe she’s going to be fine, and she just needs the support and her kids. She’s their only mom, and she’ll earn that back in her own mind.” She goes on to say that if she is suffering with postpartum depression, “then it really needs to be reckoned with, and it’s very common, and she’ll get through it.”
Shields understands the pressure of growing up in the media spotlight. “She is followed every moment of her life, and she’s documented every minute of life….[if] she wants to talk to someone, I’m available.”
