Brooke Shields felt "sick" when her daughter Rowan Henchy landed a role in a reality TV show.
Rowan, 23, has joined the cast of Bravo series Next Gen NYC and Brooke has admitted she was extremely worried for her eldest child when she was offered the chance to appear in the show because she feared it could derail her career plans.
During an appearance on Today with Jenna and Sheinelle, Brooke said: "Oh, I was sick to my stomach."
However, the actress gave Rowan some advice on how to present herself in front of the cameras and she hopes her daughter will be able to use the show as a launch pad for a job in broadcast journalism.
Brooke added: "I said: 'Look, don't be a f*** up. You know? Be the one, the voice of reason, and if you're gonna parlay this' - I mean, it's Bravo and Peacock, she wants to be in broadcast journalism, and she also likes being on camera - so I said: 'See if you can translate that into another opportunity, and it's a business choice you're making' ...
"Bad behavior is not the goal, and this should be a stepping stone of some kind ... "
However, the Pretty Baby star went on to admit she's seen a positive change in Rowan - who is her eldest daughter with husband Chris Henchy - since she started filming Next Gen NYC.
She said: "It's given her a lot of confidence in a way that's so nice to see."
Brooke previously opened up about her daughter's career choices during an Acorn TV interview revealing she feared becoming a reality TV star could crush her dream of becoming a journalist.
She said: "This has been a really difficult journey for me because I would say to her, 'We're not a reality family. That's just never been our MO.
"And I got very nervous that it might affect her or somehow hinder a career that she wants to have in broadcast news and journalism. That's what she studied at university ...
"I said: 'Look, I will do one, maybe two episodes for you, but nobody's putting any words into my mouth and I don't want them to let you put any words into your mouth and I don't want you to try to morph into somebody with bad behaviou just because it's going to create ratings.
"And I said: 'Be the girl holding back the hair for the person throwing up. Don't be the thrower upper.' And she was very grounded in it and I'm very proud of her because she is using it."
