Brooke Shields’ Drinking Leads to Seizure

She's really aging in terms of her looks. I guess she's close to 60, so it's to be expected.

Cunt OP conveniently left out that she was drinking WATER.

Why are we seeing her much lately? Her PR people must be working overtime.

[quote]r1 She's really aging in terms of her looks. I guess she's close to 60, so it's to be expected.

Well, she’s also refused to go the plastic surgery route. Maybe after a lifetime of having her looks be such a focus, she’s glad to be off that constant treadmill, and to just look like a normally attractive person now.

[quote]r2 Cunt OP conveniently left out that she was drinking WATER.

[italic]Water is a gateway drink!

The Dahmer glasses are doing her no favors either

She’s probably fine. I don’t get heavy alcoholic vibes from her.

I had a one-off grandma seizure like fifteen years ago. I hadn’t been binge drinking, hadn’t been drugging whatsoever, hadn’t under an unusual amount of stress. I can’t recall specifically, but I think I was consuming my usual volume of water that day and in the days preceding.

I saw a neurologist at Cornell Weill and he put me through a battery of tests — MRI, EEG, etc. Everything was normal. He told me that they (Big Neurology) basically allow everybody one of these events in their lifetime without it raising any serious alarm bells. It can just be a random misfiring of neurons. More than one such episode in a lifetime, and particularly more than one within a decade, is obviously a pattern. And a pattern of seizures is generally a compulsory diagnosis epilepsy whose prescription is a lifetime of anticonvulsant meds.

The worst part for me is that I was alone at a CVS at the time and I evidently peed my pants for all the fellow shoppers to point and gawk at.

Brooke Shieldsh hash had a sheizure? Shoundsh sherioush.

Sounds HAWT!

She’s getting up there. First the grandma seizures, then the very-close veins.

Suddenly Seizure

58 is "up there"?

Her mom was a drunken stage mom. Overbearing and disrespectful.

Brooke is still a headturner and wonderfully styled in this photo.

r7 "grandma seizures" are so challenging.

It’s an old DL malapropism r14, like cak / graxy/ “why are straight me so stupid”

I'm confused about why she was guzzling water to the point of seizure. The article didn't explain.

Never understood the water thing. Right up there with the handbag thing. Law of diminishing returns! Just stop after one or two.

Is everyone just fucking nuts these days? Christ!

Or grand maul seizure, R15?

“Up there” is relative. If you’re 75, then I suppose 58 is “down there”.

R16 again. I also needcto register my dismay about the sweater-over-shoulders thing.

Drinking too much water and getting a seizure, and a couple of years earlier getting on a balance board "just one more time" after a workout and before leaving the gym then becoming distracted and falling off of it, causing a harrowing accident involving the excruciating pain of a broken femur, a surgery to insert metal rods which soon lead to a staph infection and another emergency surgery with three blood transfusions.

Maybe stop obsessing about healthy living and relax a little. And eat at In and Out once in a while.

Drinking water....

I knew drinking water wash shertainly bad for you!

She seized after looking in the mirror and seeing Caitlyn Jenner staring back.

SHE'S SO FUCKING THIRSTY she even makes a grab for attention because SHE WAS SO FUCKING THIRSTY she had a "grand mal SEIZURE!

Quite big tits

Yeah, the DL diagnosis is usually a "grand maul" seizure. But since Brooke is supposedly getting up there in age, "grandma" seizure sounds right, as well.

Grand maul is an entirely different jandra of seizure.

I’m kinda with R24 on this. I can’t quite explain it but, while her face, body, skin, hair, and even her outfit look ok, the sum total of it doesn’t really work. She just looks really hard. I can’t help but seeing Stephen Colbert in a porn wig when I look at Brooke now.

Plus, I know a poster above said Brooke’s never gone under the knife. I find that hard to swallow.

I wonder if she has to piss all the time because she was drinking so much water. Maybe she wears depends now. Something doesn’t add up. And she hangs around with a lot of people that drink alcohol.

Her doctor's supposed advice to eat potato chips every day sounds rather stupid. He could have just suggested a minimum level of sodium she should be getting instead of a specific type of junk food.

Brook Shields is wearing diapers and hanging out with addicts. Sure Jan!

Looks like Sonja Morgan mashed up with Bruce Jenner.

Well she’s been hanging out with Jon Hamm. Went to his wedding. And we know he just drinks iced tea.

R34 Ply him with iced tea and follow him to the restroom….

I think women start looking like men b/c they lose subcutaneous fat and collagen in the face, with age.

in the OP pic, the lower part of her face looks vaguely Meryl-ish. The glasses help with the illusion too.

I like the glasses. So tired of black rimmed Tina Feys

Brooke has Melania's lopsided offset tits in OP's photo.

Whole thing sounds fishy. Drinking too much water. She also broke her femur two years ago, supposedly while exercising.

Her mother was an alcoholic. I hope this isn't a cover-up for alcohol-related mishaps.

Ooh la la... le grand mal? Excusez moi!

She looks like Caitlyn.

Maybe she was taking diuretics to shed water weight.

She has a masculine look because she's 6 feet tall with broad shoulders, thick bones and bushy eyebrows. Most women don't clock that masculine looking at any age.

[quote]r16 I'm confused about why she was guzzling water to the point of seizure. The article didn't explain.

It said she was preparing for a one woman show. So she was probably rehearsing a lot and thought extra water would help with the exertion (?)

[quote]Never understood the water thing.

I think everyone started carrying bottled water in the early 90s - maybe? It always seemed so unnecessary to me. Like, for hundreds of years people drank water here and there as thirst required, but then suddenly it was vital to drink 8 glasses a day… or whatever it is? If it were so urgently important, everyone would have dropped dead decades ago.

R7, first, I'm glad you're okay.

Second, your handle made me laugh my ass off!

[quote]r29 I know a poster above said Brooke’s never gone under the knife. I find that hard to swallow.

One can’t point to any pictures where she looked suddenly stretched or unnaturally tight or anything. And I think avoiding the knife fits her personality. From what I’ve read she’s tried Botox and all kinds of topical treatments, but drew the line on surgery stuff. At least so far.

She has two daughters and I imagine she doesn’t want them to think you have to rearrange your face to have people value you. (Of course, it’s always naturally good looking people who are kind of prissy like that!)

She was treated by a doc from the 80s, apparently.

Grand mal seizures haven’t been called that in a long time. They are tonic clonic.

Have had my share of them and am thankful that, unlike R7, I’ve never peed myself, which happens to many.

Hey, I need my dignity.

Does Christopher Atkins know?

I swear to God that's Bruce Jenner.

Bitch has to try to steal attention from MY water story.

What a cunt.

R45 Like, for real

I can't stand pure water. I'll take a sip now and then if I'm really dry, but it makes me feel dissipated. I drink things like iced tea, juice and pop all day.

I know someone who has Sjögren's syndrome, always has dry mouth. She keep drinking water non-stop to lubricate her mouth. She finally became so dizzy that she fainted. Cracked her head on the floor. Same deal.

R53, what about iced cold water? Who doesn’t love drinking cold water after brushing their teeth or chewing some peppermint gum?

My God, I thought that was Caitlyn Jenner.

Bradley. Oiler helps her ? Wtf. I’d say Tahoe seems like a drinker and falls down. Cooler showing up to help her where? An AA meeting?

*cooper and * Brooke

It's true you can make yourself very ill drinking too much water. You basically drown yourself from inside out.

TAP WATER WILL KILL YOU!

[quote]I hope this isn't a cover-up for alcohol-related mishaps.

Most likely it is.

Her mom is a drunk.

R63 - *was

[quote]According to Shields, her doctor's advice was to “eat potato chips every day," as she was desperately low on sodium at the time.

Well, that's living the dream.

[quote] I can't stand pure water. I'll take a sip now and then if I'm really dry, but it makes me feel dissipated. I drink things like iced tea, juice and pop all day.

Dissipated? It's crazy to say you don't like water. It's a basic need. Juice and pop? You're going to pay a price for this.

I worked with a guy who would ONLY drink Gatorade all day long, in the office. I tried to gently instruct him that it has a lot of sugar and you should only be drinking it after vigorous work or exercise. He didn't care, he liked the flavor. He was a great big fat person then, I bet he's no longer with us (that was 20 or so years ago).

Gatorade is really sweet. However, when i used to drink alcoholically, i would often down a small bottle of the citrus Zero some mornings when i was feeling particularly dehydrated. Those were probably the days when my BAC was at least 2 times over the legal limit and probably in dire need of IV fluids.

I'll be a year sober in 5 days.

R67, well done you. Not easy. Very well done.

Szhomebody'szh gotten into my "water"!!!!

One box of wine too many!

She’s lead a public life 50 + yrs. Give the woman a break.

If she wanted a real she shouldn’t send out publicity releases about her problems!

Not real - *left alone

She is probably on Ozempic which can suppress your appetite so much that you literally can’t eat. You can get very dehydrated if you don’t drink enough fluid so she was probably forcing fluids on herself and hadn’t eaten all day. She probably just passed out. Better to call it a seizure though. Looks better in tabloids.

Water? What next? A cardiac arrest from eating an apple?

[quote]Most likely it is.

Given her experiences growing up with Teri, r61, it most likely isn't.

Yeah. She needed Bradley cooper (AA member) to bring her to “help”

I have a college friend who is chronically about 20 lbs. overweight. She went on some type of diabetes medication that had a side effect of making you lose weight. She told me she was thirsty all the time. Maybe Brooke was on that drug.

[quote]According to Shields, her doctor's advice was to “eat potato chips every day," as she was desperately low on sodium at the time.

That explains all the water she drinks!

Brooke Shields' potato chip-prescribing doctor sounds like a starfucker.

Brooke Shields sounds like a moron.

This is a damn weird story and a H-riddled Headline, to boot.

Too much water? Bradley Cooper hand holding? Brooke's fallen and she can't get up, no life alert?

What's next?

Rehab.

“Harrowing Hydration Experience” sounds like the name of an indie band from the 90’s.

For r20

She needs to ditch those eyeglass frames.

[quote]“The next thing I remember, I'm being loaded into an ambulance. I have oxygen on, and Bradley f**king Cooper is sitting next to me holding my hand." Cooper had just happened to be nearby and available to be called upon for assistance when Shields' husband was unable to get there in time.

[quote]“I thought to myself, This is what death must be like. You wake up and Bradley Cooper's going, 'I'm going to go to the hospital with you, Brooke,' and he's holding my hand, and I'm looking at my hand, I'm looking at Bradley Cooper's hand in my hand, and I'm like, ‘This is odd and surreal.’”

Where's the thank you? In continually focusing on the oddness, she doesn't sound very grateful that he took the time to accompany her to the hospital and helped her through the situation.

I like how she comes up with all these stories so we feel sorry for her. It’s getting old, Brooke.

[quote] According to Shields, her doctor's advice was to “eat potato chips every day,"

Brooke, can I have your doctor's number?

[quote]r87 Where’s the thank you? She doesn't sound very grateful that Bradley Cooper took the time to accompany her to the hospital

Look, she’s a water addict.

What else do you need to know?

I'm shocked and saddened to hear that Brooke Shields has descended into severe alcoholism, after she suffered so with her Archie mother.

R78 it was probably Jardiance. Cue the big girl in the yellow dress.

[quote] Cooper had just happened to be nearby and available to be called upon for assistance when Shields' husband was unable to get there in time

This is so weird to me. Can’t reach husband but Bradley is nearby and available. What were the people she was with thinking: “let’s see…who can we call to help Brooke when she wakes up? Hey, let’s try Bradley Cooper!”

Are they even friends? Why couldn’t the people she was with handle the situation? They got her an ambulance, but needed Bradley because they suspected she was drunk and needed an AA person?

It’s just weird.

Cooper is looking for press since he can’t promote his film.

I think the thankfulness is implied, R87. By mentioning him she’s publicizing his helpfulness and thanking him. She almost certainly formally thanked him in private.

There was an actor (I think on Suddenly Susan?) who was friends with her and committed suicide over his alcoholism. I think he was photographed carrying cases of beer into her place shortly prior to his death. I could buy her being a boozer, especially since this story is weird. But I’ve never seen a photo of her looking disheveled. Her weight fluctuated, but not hugely. She never looks bloated. She seems to be well-liked and have a decent professional reputation.

But you don’t accidentally drink enough water to cause a seizure. There is some other issue making you drink a ton of water. Also, there is a good chance a woman her age who has had two kids would be peeing every 30 seconds if drinking that much water. That’s just not normal behavior. She is leaving something out, but it could be anything. Trying to flush her system for a drug test, on some weird fad diet, trying to lose 5 pounds of water weight to fit into an outfit.

Stay way from Jacuzzis, bathtubs and swimming pools, Brooke!

She has boozer puffy face.

[quote]I DRANK SO MUCH WATER[/bold] and wine [bold]I HAD A BIG FAT SEIZURE!!!! LOOK AT ME!!! ME! ME! ME!!![/bold]

R53 types fat.

Brooke’s not a dumb woman. She’s an alcoholic and googled the whole “too much water/low sodium” thing to use as an excuse to cover up her alcohol-related issues.

i've seen her in person in soho nyc. she's so butch looking. not pretty but she's very friendly. met her in shoe stores and supermarket.

She graduated in Romance Languages from Princeton.

Sad last days?

Bradley Cooper was Brad Pitt's sober coach.

David Strickland was the actor from Suddenly Susan who died.

Yeah, I think Brooke is probably an active alcoholic. Time to quit drinking Brooke. ~ 60 years old. She's had a nice, long ride, so far.

I like the glasses

No snark - if alcoholism is her problem, I hope she accepts help. I think that's what eventually killed her mother.

She has red, dehydrated alcoholic face.

She seems like a decent person. I hope she gets the help she needs if it's alcoholism.

This is one of the funnier threads I've seen on DL recently - thanks, everyone (especially R28).

Her mother died of dementia.

Jesus, did Brooke piss in you bitches' Cheerios? She's fine...

[quote]Jesus, did Brooke piss in you bitches' Cheerios?

Yes, and it tasted like booze.

There does seem to be a Brooke Shields incident every few years. Wtf is her problem? Maybe it is alcohol.

J’adore Brooke, but I do think it would lighten her (strong) face up if she plucked just a little from beneath her brows. I’m not asking for some crazy 1/8 of an inch or anything - which would surely give her a heart attack - but as she’s aged the brows have gotten lower. They can still be thick and straight, fine, but really, making them just a touch thinner would help.

This is the only pic I’ve ever seen where her eyebrows looked to have been shaped a little. Or maybe they were bleached a shade, to match the hair. Anyway, she should try that approach again. And I say this with love.

[quote] J’adore Brooke, but I do think it would lighten her (strong) face up if she plucked just a little from beneath her brows.

I totally agree. I always say that in the DL Brooke Shields threads. Her eyebrows were her signature, but they're simply too thick and look like they're sitting directly on top of her eyes.

She needs to pluck some hairs. 1/8th of an inch from the underside of her brows is nothing. She's got such thick brows to begin with.

And yes, age and gravity have brought her brows down even further.

Suddenly Sober!

SALON: "Cooper had just happened to be nearby and available to be called upon for assistance when Shields' husband was unable to get there in time" What a coincidence, the restaurant, L'artusi, is on same block as Brook and Bradley live.

Bradley Cooper, life coach. I would only hire him if it involved some dick sucking.

Somewhere Tom Cruise is doing his evil laugh.

At least she didn’t slap anyone.

Honey, the grand mal seizure is actually that not-so-all-white ensemble that 1977 and Annie Hall want back!

Hi, my name is Brooke and I'm an aqua-holic.

She’s slowly killing herself.

For god’s sake, put down the bottle!

She's just glug I mean glib

I remember that cover at R116. I remember it because she did look really good on it. Better than she usually looked at that point.

She was exceptionally beautiful as a very young woman and still looks better than 99% of women her age. But she used to be one in a million. I guess when you start out at such an extreme it would be asking too much to age exceptionally well.

Was it Smart water?

Opioids?
