According to actress Brooke Shields, the National Enquirer kidnapped her demented mother from a retirement home in New Jersey.
As keen observers of the National Enquirer, we think it’s pretty obvious that they were simply trying to determine if Brooke Shields is another John Edwards love child.
The irate Shields told People Magazine that her mother was checked out of the home by a Natonal Enquirer reporter in pursuit a “tabloid story.”
“My mother Teri Shields has been diagnosed with dementia. For her safety, she has temporarily been in a senior living facility, a very difficult decision for me,” she says. “Late Thursday afternoon, I was alerted by Old Tappan Police that my mother had been signed out of the facility by two reporters of the National Enquirer…who falsely claimed they were friends of hers.”
According to police, Teri Shields, 75, was found talking to the freelance reporter several hours later at a restaurant next door to her assisted living center.
“I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act,” Brooke Shields said in her statement to People.
Yes, we know it sounds highly unlikely that John Edwards could be Brooke Shields’ father, because he was only 12 years old when she was born. But would you put anything past the guy at this point?
