Los Angeles, California – Actress Sharon Stone has come forward with shocking revelations about an incident that occurred while filming the 1993 movie “Sliver”. Stone disclosed on a recent podcast episode that producer Robert Evans suggested she sleep with her co-star, William “Billy” Baldwin, in order to improve their onscreen chemistry. Stone detailed the unsettling conversation where Evans allegedly made inappropriate suggestions to her in an attempt to boost Baldwin’s performance in the film.
In her 2021 memoir, “The Beauty of Living Twice”, Stone first mentioned the incident without revealing the producer’s identity. However, during the Louis Theroux Podcast, she bravely identified Robert Evans as the individual behind the disturbing proposition. Stone recalled feeling pressured by Evans to engage in unethical behavior for the sake of the movie’s success.
Following Stone’s revelations, Baldwin took to social media to refute her accusations and hinted at potentially sharing unflattering stories about the actress. He claimed that the alleged incident never occurred and questioned Stone’s motives in bringing it up years later. Baldwin’s response elicited further controversy surrounding the situation, with conflicting accounts from different parties involved.
Stone also discussed her experience working on “Basic Instinct” in 1992, contrasting it with the uncomfortable situation she faced while filming “Sliver”. She expressed frustration with the industry’s expectation for actresses to engage in inappropriate behavior to improve a movie’s outcome. Stone’s candid reflections shed light on the challenges female actors often face in a male-dominated environment.
The actress’s bravery in speaking out against the abuse of power within the entertainment industry highlights the ongoing issue of sexual harassment and coercion. Stone’s willingness to address the uncomfortable truths of her past experiences serves as a reminder of the importance of advocating for a safe and respectful work environment for all individuals in the film industry. Through her revelations, Stone continues to pave the way for greater transparency and accountability in Hollywood.
