Brooke Shields is getting real about the toll body image issues have taken on her over the years. In her new memoir, “Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old,” the “Mother of the Bride” star, 59, claimed her ex-husband Andre Agassi left her spinning “a bit” after giving her a backhanded compliment about her weight.

Agassi, who remarried actress Steffi Graf in 2001, has his own memoir, which he used a ghostwriter for, "Open," released in 2009. Shields has said in the past that she sent him suggestions to make the book more accurate after he asked for her input, "Everything was just off," she recalled on the podcast "WTF."
