SHOCKING BACKSTAGE BATTLE: Brash Star Beverly D’Angelo FORCIBLY BLOCKS a Naive Christie Brinkley from EXPLICIT Nude Scene in Infamous ‘Vacation’ Flick!

SHOCKING HOLLYWOOD REVELATION: In a bombshell new interview, Beverly D’Angelo exposes the DARK PRESSURE placed on Christie Brinkley to GO TOPLESS for a ‘National Lampoon’s Vacation’ scene—revealing a TROUBLING culture of COERCION that forces actresses to strip for laughs.

D’Angelo, 74, chillingly admits SHE was the one who ultimately bared her breasts after producers allegedly PUSHED a reluctant Brinkley to the brink, one midnight at a motel pool. This isn’t a heartwarming tale of friendship; it’s a DAMNING indictment of an industry that views women’s bodies as DISPOSABLE props. “I’ll do it,” D’Angelo recounts saying. “You’ll get your t—ies.” Her casual confession unveils a HARROWING norm where saying ‘no’ wasn’t an option—someone else’s flesh had to be offered up instead.

Brinkley’s memoir confirms the UGLY TRUTH: She REFUSED, knowing her worth was in the male fantasy of what was hidden. But the machine demanded nudity. D’Angelo’s subsequent advice to her younger self? “Do more nudity.” This GLORIFICATION of exploitation is a POISONOUS legacy being sold as empowerment. Where was the director? Where were the so-called guardians of the set? SILENT, allowing a co-star to be the sacrificial lamb.

This incident is a MICROCOSM of Hollywood’s SICK obsession. Brinkley, an icon on over 500 covers, has never posed nude—a principled stand that apparently made her a TARGET for pressure on set. The message is clear: Your artistry is SECONDARY to your willingness to undress. Even Chevy Chase, the film’s star, orbited this exploitation, his character’leering’ being the entire punchline.

D’Angelo frames it as ‘using your instrument,’ but this was no artistic choice—it was a COMPROMISE forced by a system with no respect for boundaries. As these veterans now casually recount the incident, one must ask: How many other ‘funny stories’ from our favorite comedies are actually hidden traumas? The laughter from that iconic scene was built on a foundation of COERCION, and we’ve been smiling along for decades. The real vacation was a trip into the grotesque underbelly of show business, and we never left.
