Actress Sharon Stone, 65, has revealed that she lost custody over a scene in the movie ‘Basic Instinct’.
According to foreign media such as the Guardian on the 9th (local time), during the divorce process in 2004, Sharon Stone lost custody after a judge questioned her 4-year-old son about his ‘basic instinct’.
In a podcast interview on the 6th, Stone said, “her role in Paul Verhoeven’s 1992 psychological thriller ‘Basic Instinct’ was ‘weaponized’ in her son Ron’s custody dispute with ex-husband Phil Bronstein.” claimed.
“I lost custody,” she said. “The judge asked my little boy, ‘Did you know your mom was in a sex movie?’ I was considered a mother,” he said, expressing regret.
The scene in question appears to be a scene in which ‘Katherine Trammel’ (Sharon Stone) is sitting cross-legged in a chair wearing a short skirt, then switches to the other leg for interrogation.
Stone continued, “There are still people with no clothes on on regular TV shows, and you’ve only seen about 1/16 of a second nude scene. But I lost custody,” he appealed, “does this make sense now?”
Stone only has visitation rights to his son Ron. She said that this decision broke not only her own heart, but also her body.
Stone’s long acting career was often defined by her exposure in ‘Basic Instinct,’ and she said at the 1993 Golden Globe Awards that she was “upset” when her name was mentioned and her peers sneered at her for Best Actress.
“Does anyone know how hard it was to play this role? It was really horrible and humiliating,” he said. But aren’t you laughing at me now? I wanted to go into a hole and hide,” she recalled.
Stone published a memoir in 2021, revealing that the production team of ‘Basic Instinct’ asked her to take off her underwear.
Director Verhoeven urged me to take off my underwear because white reflects light because I can’t see anything. People said they thought I was wearing underwear. Verhoeven has long maintained that she was aware of the facts of her exposure.
