Brooke Shields is speaking out about the frenzy brought on by headbutting allegations made against fellow actor Kiefer Sutherland while out in New York City for Tupperware's Chain of Confidence campaign, an effort that supports confidence and the Boys & Girls Club of America's SMART Girls program.

"I'm always amazed when events, in any kind, become the most important news event when there are so many other things, really, to talk about," Brooke tells ET Thursday about the headline-grabbing news involving Kiefer. "The fact that [photographers are] camped outside my house -- I can't quite justify it. They're following my daughter to school. These are things I can't quite reconcile in my brain."

Brooke also tells ET that she was advised by her attorney not to comment on the headbutting allegations made against Kiefer by fashion designer Jack McCollough.

We spoke to Brooke, "The View"'s Sherri Shepherd and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star Stephanie March during a VIP press party at the home of Stephanie and her husband, celebrity chef Bobby Flay.

The trio were there in honor of Tupperware's Chain of Confidence campaign, which supports the Boys & Girls Club of America's SMART Girls program. Brooke has served as spokesperson for the campaign for three years.

The actress also announced a global pay-it-forward type challenge via ChainOfConfidence.com to encourage consumers to spread confidence and goodwill across the globe.
