When the “Me Too” debate rocked Hollywood, Sharon Stone remained silent. She would have had enough to say, as the actress now revealed in the podcast “Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa”. There she reported about a traumatic experience that occurred in the 80s.
Stones’ career was just beginning at that time. She wasn’t famous at the time and certainly wasn’t rich, so she was so excited when she went to the meeting with the Sony studio boss. She wore her only good outfit, the one that she had scraped together all her money for and that she only took out of the closet for very special meetings. But the meeting turned out completely differently than she expected.
In the man’s office (she doesn’t give a name), she sat down on a sofa that was so low that she was almost sitting on the floor. The man literally showered her with compliments – she was so smart, beautiful, everyone was talking about her. “Then he came up to me, stood in front of me, said ‘But first’ and shoved his penis right in my face,” Stone said, describing the incident.
Stone – in shock – reacted to this with a stress reaction. “I started laughing and crying at the same time and couldn’t stop because I was hysterical,” she recalled. She remained in that state until the secretary took her out of the room. The accused had already run away. And that wasn’t the last strange experience during her career.
Stone remained silent about the incident for decades. Only now, 40 years later, does she dare to talk about it in public. She said: “There was no way for me to tell the story sooner. I could never have blamed a Sony studio boss; they would never have hired me again.”
