Brooke Shields responds to TC's comments in the NYT today

[slknight]

I thought you all would be interested in an op-ed piece by Brooke Shields in today's New York Times regarding post-partum depression. Go Brooke!

Thanks for starting a thread! (I should have done that, but posted in the other TC thread instead.)

Yay Brooke! :)

Good for her!! I hope she continues to speak out to be an advocate for PPD and that this will encourage others to speak out as well.

Thanks for posting, Susan!

Here's the link to the CNN article (I didn't check the NY times one,but I would assume the content will be similar).

She has so much more class than he has ever demonstrated. I think she's really done a terrific public service by publicizing and giving a celebrity "face" to postpartum depression.

Way to go, Brooke! She was very eloquent and I hope TC will keep his trap shut from now on in matters of psychiatry.

Thanks alot for sharing as all the info I've gotten on this has been from here.

I was encouraged to see this morning that there is a general concensus in the Tele community that TC is simply nuts. I was starting to think that myself. Especially when he was on Oprah acting like a complete moron. Like he was 13 and just got his first kiss. Criminetly. I didn't have any ill feeling towards him until I heard about his comments re: PPD. Because, you know HE KNOWS the history and I'm sure he's very familiar with PPD. WHATEVER TOM! GO BROOKE! (I'm feeling very militant!)

That was pretty moving and real. TC is just a jackass.

Kudos to her for being classy about the whole situation and for bringing to light that even the most public of figures can suffer from PPD. Kudos.
