She's been telling that story quite a few times now , it just gets on my nerves (the whole 'Buh-uh , please, pity me ' thing). Anyway , here's the story from the interview she gave to i-D:

'When I was 6 or 5, I was very pretty.Very savage but very pretty with long curly blond hair .One day, when we were sailing around the south of France, my father called me on to the top of the deck and my sister was there with a pair of scissors and he shaved my head.He left me two or three centimeters (an inch) on top ! And I was like 'What do you mean by this ?' You've just taken away everything that made me , me '. And he said 'Well , now people won't ever say that you're beautiful again , so you've got to be interesting.'
 
The idea is interesting ... but doing this to a 6 year old kid is just so mean!!!
I would have started to cry and nerver stopped!

This seems to border on child abuse....good intentions or not.

First off, I'll say that I do feel deeply sorry for her if this event truly did take place... Now, that being said, there's two things I don't fully understand about this article...

1.) "You've just taken away everything that made me, me." She says she was beautiful when she was younger, and that her dad shaved her head, therefore taking away her beauty. I'm wondering, is an aesthetically-pleasing face (or, in this instance, hair, which she seems to think to be the deciding factor in beauty) everything that makes you you? Just wondering...

2.) Why does she insist that cutting off her hair has made her something other than pretty? Hair grows back. I don't know if she didn't realize this when she gave this interview, or maybe the magazine really screwed up in conveying the correct thoughts into print, but you cannot argue that a haircut (albeit, a very bad one) has obliterated 'prettiness.'

But like I said, if this did happen, I feel very sorry for her. And I'm hoping the magazine at least attempted to get it right; if not, shame on them for trying to skew the facts...
 
Whoa , you're taking it way too seriously...We're talking about a 5 y old child.

Of course , being appreciated physically and having people telling you that you're pretty and that you have beautiful hair is important and securing for any child . So of course , any child if they had their head shaved would be scared that they wouldn't get that kind of attention anymore . Do you think that a 5 y old child would think 'Is beauty the only thing that I have or that makes me important in other people's eyes ?' , come on , if she had been a teenager when it happened , maybe she would have thought this way , but a child ? Any child would be scared about a physical transformation (and I know we're talking about a minor one there).

And no , you don't look the same way with your head shaved or with beautiful blond locks , as in you don't perceive yourself the same way , people don't perceive you the same way either.She probably didn't look pretty anymore to other people but 'weird' (especially if really short hair didn't suit her).Hair grows back , yeah , no sh*t , but at the time , she knew she had to spend months with that haircut , that might be disturbing for a child to get used to another image of herself. That change seems minor for any grown-up but I can understand that a 5 y old would think that no-one would like her and that she wouldn't be pretty anymore...

Now I don't think the magazine made some mistakes while priting the interview. I've read that story several times in different interviews of her so it's probably true. Personally , I've always hated the stories of famous people who want to insist on the fact that not everything was rosy for them during their childhood, but on the other hand , I understand her reaction back then...
