Overview
- Shields, speaking on the Dinner's On Me podcast, recalled Walters asking for her body measurements when she was 15 and said she answered then but would push back today.
- The interview happened in 1981 after her Calvin Klein jeans ad drew criticism for sexual innuendo involving a minor and was pulled from some TV markets.
- She said she felt discomfort as Walters had her stand so the host could compare their bodies on camera.
- Shields added that Walters never later acknowledged the episode and that she now tries not to let such treatment affect her.
- She framed the moment as a product of a male-dominated era and contrasted it with feeling more empowered at 60, including launching a haircare line for women over 40.
