Watch: Brooks Nader Shares Her Biggest ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Advice to Sister Sarah Jane Nader
Brooks Nader was happy to keep it wet and wild this summer.
While the Sports Illustrated model made waves for going topless during her European vacation in Sardinia alongside sister SarahJaneNader, mom HollandNader and dad BreauxNader, she had absolutely no qualms about ditching the bikini top.
“I had the time of my freaking life,” Brooks raved to Entertainment Tonight in an interview posted to Instagram Sept. 10. “I don’t care if I’m not from Europe. I’m from Louisiana. I grew up in an all-girl household. We’re always naked together as sisters.”
As for the fact that her father was aboard the boat as she swam around topless? The 29-year-old had no issues with that either.
“My dad’s half blind, so he didn’t even notice,” she exclaimed. “He was like, ‘I don’t care.’”
“He has selective hearing and selective seeing,” Brooks added. “I was just having the time of my life and really not thinking that anyone was documenting some of it, but we love it. It’s great.”
Still, the Baywatch star was very aware that photos showing her half-naked with her family would certainly cause a stir, even poking fun at the experience on her Instagram Story after the fact. Brooks reshared an article that included several photos of another swimming sesh—when she took a dip in the water while fully covered in her normal clothing—with the headline, “Brooks Nader jumps into the ocean fully dressed and in heels.”
She captioned the Aug. 18 post, “Are we happy now?”

And being comfortable with her body is not a topic that Brooks takes for granted, especially as she’s been candid about her decision to step back from cosmetic procedures.
“I think I’m not doing anything for quite a while,” she told E! News in April. “I’ve been open about what I’ve done and I recently dissolved all my filler in my face, brought it all back to the old Brooksy, and people seem to like it and I seem to like it.”
“So I’m not doing anything,” she added. “I’m not even doing Botox or anything for quite a while. I’m just working out and saving lives in the ocean.”
