Cindy Crawford says she's lucky she doesn't have a #MeToo story to share, but admits she regrets certain nude shoots that she felt coerced into doing.
The 52-year-old supermodel is now mentor, manager and mother to her two model children Presley and Kaia - and in the wake of the #MeToo movement, she wants to "empower" them to be able to say no if they feel uncomfortable at work.

"I've done nude photos, lots," Crawford told Town & Country. "The only ones I regretted were the ones that I kind of got talked into.
"I don't want my children to ever look back and think, ‘Gosh, I wish I hadn't done that.’ I want to empower them to just say, 'I'm outta here.'"

Reflecting on the women and men speaking up about sexual harassment and abuse in Hollywood and beyond, she continued: "I'm really lucky, because I don't have a #MeToo story.
"As far as being a mother of two young people going into fashion, of course I worry. But let's be honest. My kids are blessed in that business because they aren't coming in as unknowns. People will know I will come after them if they mess with my kids."

On her relationship with with her in-demand teenage model daughter Kaia, Crawford added: "We talk every day, at least, and text.
"If she doesn't text me back within 15 minutes, I do one in all caps and a lot of exclamation points. Just respond, okay? Or else I’m going to track you through your Uber account."
