Sharon Stone just dropped a bombshell, and it’s not a comedy special. The seasoned 65-year-old actress claims she had a run-in with a former bigwig from Sony Pictures back in the wild ’80s. Apparently, things got as uncomfortable as a porcupine in a balloon factory.
In an exclusive chat on the SiriusXM show “Let’s Talk Off Camera” with Kelly Ripa, Stone spilled the beans without spilling the name of the alleged offender. Keeping it mysterious, like a detective novel, but with more glitter.
Picture it: 1980s chic—Sharon strutting into the office with a Ralph Lauren jacket sporting ruffles that could rival a potato chip’s crunch, a denim skirt with a ruffle explosion at the bottom, and cowboy boots that probably had their own fan club. Ready to meet the Sony head honcho, she walked into an office straight out of the ’80s, where the couch was practically a pancake on the floor.
With knees around her neck (because, hey, who needs comfortable seating?), Stone’s tall frame looked like a giraffe doing yoga on that low-riding couch. The head honcho, doing his best impression of a caffeinated cheetah, paced around, showering her with compliments like confetti at a parade. “You’re gorgeous, the talk of the town, smart, beautiful, and that hair!” Yep, the hair down to her waist was apparently the eighth wonder of the world.
The guy, in a move straight out of a magician’s playbook, whipped out his wand—no, not the one you’re thinking of. Stone, being the bubbly personality she is, responded the only way she knew how: she started laughing. Laughing and crying, creating a unique emotional symphony that left everyone wondering if it was a sitcom or a soap opera.
Stone went on to share how she became hysterical, with the guy left bewildered, desperately trying to figure out how to stuff the rabbit back into the hat. He eventually disappeared behind a mysterious door, leaving Stone sitting there, wondering if she accidentally stumbled into a warped game of hide-and-seek.
Fast forward to 2023, and Stone reflects on the incident that happened in the distant era of 1980. That’s 43 years ago, for those of us who can’t do math without a calculator. She reveals that this bizarre encounter wasn’t a one-hit wonder in her career’s playlist. It was just one stop in a carnival of weird experiences.
During the #MeToo movement, Stone was asked about harassment, to which she essentially responded, “I’ve been around for 40 years, darling. Imagine waltzing into this business four decades ago looking like me. I’ve seen it all.” Her message was clear: If you’ve got apologies, bring ’em. If not, find a seat far, far away because Sharon Stone isn’t afraid to turn the spotlight into a spotlight of shame. She’s had dudes sitting on stairs to avoid her wrath, making it clear that sitting next to her is like playing Russian roulette with a Hollywood twist.
Sharon Stone: still standing tall, still turning heads, and definitely not taking any unsolicited magic tricks.
