American Actor, screenwriter and director Soleil Moon Frye has talked about being sexualised at a young age in a new Hulu documentary called “Kid ’90”. 

Released on March 12, the documentary follows the lives of young actors as captured by Soleil on a videocamera. 

The actor is seen recalling being called “Punky Boobster”, a play on the name of her character in the NBC show Punky Brewster.

Talking about constantly attracting attention because of her breast size she said, “Everywhere I go, people are like, ‘You’re so grown up, which is another way of saying your tits are so big, adding that she was almost an E cup. The roles I was getting offered at 13, 14 years old are t*ts and a*s roles and I’m 13. I went from this amazing childhood to almost being forced into adulthood.”

Frye got breast reduction surgery at 16 and has talked about it in detail in the documentary. 

In an interview with toofab, Soleil said, “I think the more we share our stories, the more journalists that talk about this, the more documentaries that are made, the more we can encourage each other to not feel so alone and that this is part of the natural process. Just because one kid that is developed differently wears a tank top, that another kid that is more developed wears it, doesn’t mean that we have the right to sexualize them or make them feel like they’re shamed in some way.”

In an audio recording from the documentary, she is heard saying, “I just want people to see me for the person I am inside. And these last couple weeks have been weird. You know, with seeing older people and having guys pinch my a*s. It’s a difference from when I was little.”

When asked about being sexualised at such a young age and what advice she wishes she got as a teenager, Moon said, “I would just hug the little girl in me and say that, ‘It’s going to be okay and you’re loved and every step that you go through is going to lead you to the woman that you’re going to become,’ and I would also thank the teen me for leaving this blueprint for me to come home to because I learned so much about myself through that teen girl.”

Adding further, she said, “I think it’s such an important moment in time for us to have these deeper conversations. I love Punky Brewster, I will be Punky forever and I’m proud of it and it’s really the world in which we live in that seemed to try to fit me into a box.”

“Puberty can be such an awkward experience, and yet the more we empower each other, the better we can feel about ourselves because one size doesn’t fit all. And everyone develops differently and uniquely. And goes through those stages in their own way.”

“We live in a world of filters and a world in which social media is at our fingertips, and it’s so important to have these dialogues both at home and in the media of how we are making each other feel about that,” she advised. 

Many popular actors including Leonardo DeCaprio, Brian Austin Green, David Arquette, Jenny Lewis appear in the documentary.
