Basic Instinct actress Sharon Stone has spoken about an attack that left her internal organs “fractured and scarred.” During an episode of The Person Who Believed in Me podcast, the 68-year-old actress shared, “I don’t know how much I can tell about this. I was hit from behind.”
When asked if this was a domestic violence incident, Sharon Stone was not at “liberty to say”
In a conversation with CBS correspondent David Begnaud, the iconic star, who is a longtime activist and humanitarian, said, “I didn’t really know ’til 10 years later what had happened to me. Because I woke up, I was unconscious on the floor. The two couches were sideways. The coffee table was all over the place. It was sort of upside down. Everything that had been on the coffee table was all over the floor, and I didn’t know how I got there.”
The actress said she only learned of the attack a decade later during a doctor’s visit. “I went to a clinic because I was having a lot of problems with the back of my neck, and my shoulders were so sore, and I went to a neck and spine clinic in Marina Del Rey, and they had given me propofol, and they’d done a lot of X-rays of my front and back and all this stuff.”
She continued, “They were going to do some kind of injections into what they thought was arthritis in my neck and shoulders, and they had done all these preliminary X-rays of my thoracic rib cage and my neck and my shoulders and my spine, and the doctor came in, and he’s like, ‘We’re not going to be able to do this surgery.’”
“I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ And he’s like, ‘Your thoracic rib cage is all fractured and scarred back together. It’s clear that you were attacked and that what happened to you was a felony,” Stone described.
When Begnaud asked Stone who hit her, she didn’t reveal it. She said, “I am not going to say publicly, but I am going to say that we did report and we did do everything. I had the opportunity to press charges, but because it had been a decade and because I’m a public figure, I decided not to.”
Stone rose to fame with the 1992 film Basic Instinct, in which she played crime novelist Catherine Tramell. The erotic thriller is now set for a reboot, with its original writer, Joe Eszterhas, according to The Wrap. No official release date has been announced for the reboot yet.
