Sharon Stone shuts down GMB's Ed Balls during awkward moment over 'set-up question' in fiery...
On Thursday, Sharon Stone embarrassed Ed Balls on GMB by accusing him of deliberately creating a tricky situation with his question.
Ed, who is 57 years old, questioned Sharon, who is 66 years old, about reports that the deceased producer, Robert Evans, had proposed that she have sexual relations with her fellow actor, William Baldwin, in order to enhance his performance in the movie "Sliver" back in 1993.
According to Ed, a previous member of the Labour party who is 57 years old, there has been a significant transformation in society as a result of the Me Too Movement and the conviction of Harvey Weinstein.
I am talking about a different location, with any luck, the movie business in Los Angeles as opposed to your previous experience there.
As you reflect on the initial stages of your profession, how do you currently feel about the guidance provided by Hollywood producer Robert Evans regarding the 1993 film, Sliver? Evans suggested that you engage in intimate activities with your co-star, William Baldwin, as a means to enhance his performance.
During an intense interview about her role in the 90s film Sliver on Thursday, Sharon Stone called out GMB's Ed Balls for asking what she believed was a purposely difficult question. The interaction between the two was quite uncomfortable.
The 66-year-old former American actress, who is now a painter, refused to answer a question posed by the host (shown in the picture) and his co-host Kate Garraway. She firmly instructed him to change the subject.
Before this, she stated that she was pushed to have sexual relations with William, her fellow actor in the 1998 film Sliver, by Robert Evans, the producer who passed away in 2019. However, when Ed inquired about her allegations, she accused him of deliberately trying to trap her.
Sharon replied, "I believe you're intentionally trying to trap me with your initial question about beating my wife. I refuse to acknowledge such a baseless accusation. Let's not begin our conversation on that note. Could we please start on a different topic?"
Sharon retaliated, "To begin with, you're trying to trap me with the question 'Did you beat your wife yet?' So, I refuse to confirm your statement as it is false."
"Let's not begin with that. Instead, I propose we commence anew with a different inquiry."
Kate, who is 57, felt a moment of discomfort and a silence fell in the room. However, Ed quickly spoke up and asked, "If you reflect on the way you were treated in Hollywood two to three decades ago, what comes to mind?"
'What are your current emotions?'
She responded by saying, "Throughout my career, I have experienced various forms of treatment in Hollywood and different cities across the globe."
In reality, you receive a unique treatment and Hollywood does not actually exist as a physical location. While there is a Hollywood sign, it is not the hub for conducting our affairs.
In Hollywood, it's merely a concept, and therefore, it's impossible for an idea to mistreat you.
Society has established certain rules that are challenging to abide by, and these regulations have proven to be especially challenging for women in all walks of life. It doesn't matter if you're a famous celebrity or a girl like me who once worked as a McDonald's server.
Kate, who is 57 years old, looked down at the desk and an uncomfortable silence filled the room. However, soon after, Ed spoke up and asked her, "When you reflect on how you were treated in Hollywood 20, 25, or 30 years ago…”
Her response was: 'I have experienced various forms of treatment in Hollywood as well as in different cities across the globe.'
Include: 'The treatment you receive is not fixed and the actual hub of the entertainment industry is not the Hollywood sign.' To clarify, the way you are treated in the entertainment industry is not set in stone. In addition, it is important to note that although there is a famous symbol bearing the name "Hollywood," that iconic sign is not the true center of the entertainment business.
The issues I encountered while working at McDonald's were equivalent to those I dealt with on a film set.
At a previous point in time, on a podcast hosted by Louis Theroux, Sharon asserted that she was solicited to engage in sexual activity with William, under the assumption that it would enhance his abilities.
She shared that they had high expectations for her to produce another successful project. They even granted her the power to approve the cast and other important decisions. However, when it was time to start the project, they reneged on their promise and claimed that the agreement was only for vanity purposes, leaving her without the necessary approvals.
Afterwards, they began attempting to hold me responsible for their blunders, and they committed atrocious blunders when recruiting directors and performers.
According to her statement, Evans, who used to act but now produces, called her away from her filming duties to his workplace and asked her if she would have sex with William Baldwin, a prominent actor who is one of four brothers in the acting industry and is more commonly known as Billy, outside of the set.
Sharon recounted: 'I was summoned to his workspace. The furnishings were old-fashioned, from a period between the 70s and 80s. The seats were so lumpy and small that I was practically crouching down on the ground rather than sitting. Instead of being on stage, I was stuck in this uncomfortable position in his office.'
He's dashing around his workplace wearing shades telling me that he had an affair with Ava Gardner and that I ought to have a fling with Billy Baldwin, since doing so would boost Billy Baldwin's abilities in bed.
We required Billy's condition to improve in the film since it was the issue.
She asserted that Evans, who used to be an actor but has now become a producer, called her to his office while she was filming and asked her to have sex with William Baldwin, who is renowned for being one of the four Baldwin acting brothers and is commonly referred to as Billy, outside of the set.
When she heard his request, Sharon simply pondered how he had ignored the actors she had proposed for the role of Zeke Hawkins, which annoyed her. She felt irked that the movie's executives anticipated her to transition from being Michael Douglas' co-star in Basic Instinct to working with Baldwin.
She said, "I didn't need to have sex with Michael Douglas. He was professional and could hit his marks, deliver his lines, and rehearse well. However, now it seems like I'm stuck in a situation where sleeping with people is expected of me."
Beforehand, the performer had talked about this matter in her memoir for 2021, but she didn't reveal who exactly was involved. Now, she has stated that the co-star Jeffrey Baldwin, brother of Alec Baldwin, was the person who the producer Robert Evans supposedly advised her to enhance her on-screen connection with in 1993.
After it was all said and done, Billy went on X (previously known as Twitter) and expressed, "I'm unsure as to why Sharon Stone continues to bring me up after all this time."
I wonder if she still likes me or if she's still upset because I rejected her romantic overtures some time ago. I'm curious if she told her friend Janice Dickinson the day after we ran into each other on our MGM Grand flight back to New York and I had just finished a screen test. Did she say something like, "I'm going to make him fall for me so hard that he won't know what hit him?"
He further stated that he possesses an enormous amount of information about her that could easily overwhelm her, but he has remained silent about it.
He mentioned that the tale of my encounter with Bob Evans, in which I begged him to let me choreograph the closing intercourse scene in the image shown, just so I could avoid kissing Sharon, is a highly renowned narrative.
"I'm considering writing a book where I share all the unprofessional, kinky, and disturbing stories I have about Sharon. It could be an interesting and enjoyable project." Baldwin stated.
In a previous part of the conversation, Sharon expressed feeling saddened by the fact that she didn't receive much attention from others following a near-death incident that occurred 22 years ago. She conveyed feeling hurt about the lack of concern shown towards her at that time.
The person who was awarded an Emmy, and has made significant positive changes in their life after experiencing a brain hemorrhage, discussed why they left the entertainment industry and pursued a career in painting.
During the interview, Sharon expressed her feelings of being saddened that individuals no longer showed interest in her after she went through a life-threatening event 22 years ago. She mentioned feeling hurt by this lack of concern.
In 2001, after experiencing a stroke, she had a 9-day brain bleed that left her with a slim 1% chance of surviving.
The person who received an Emmy award and has made significant changes in her life after suffering from a brain hemorrhage, talked about the reasons for leaving the entertainment industry and taking up painting.
During her appearance on the morning show with Kate and Ed as hosts, Sharon openly discussed why she had no desire to go back to Hollywood after being on a break for seven years.
In her words, "It took me approximately seven years to take the initial essential steps towards rehabilitation. This was a lengthy time to lose my drive and motivation."
After seven years, you may no longer be in vogue, lack popularity or appeal, and the people you collaborated with may not be in influential positions.
Over time, things transform and individuals tend to lose interest in that individual. It's comparable to revisiting your former workplace after seven years - you can't simply return and presume that everything is the same as before.
I felt a bit wounded when the world continued to progress without me, but I have since moved past those feelings.
Sharon shared about her hidden disability and how it impacts her everyday life due to the brain hemorrhage.
She expressed that it was truly a moment of wonder. She has an imperceptible disability that people are not aware of, causing her to be a changed individual.
There are occasions in which others are able to assist you simply by noticing that you are using crutches, however, if you are experiencing difficulty with your cognitive abilities, it may not be as easily noticeable by others.
The previous month, the famous celebrity from the gambling industry displayed a set of her paintings at an exhibition at Gallery 181 located in San Francisco.
On her Instagram account, she posted two sneak peeks of her collection. She has previously exhibited her work in a gallery setting.
She stated that her recovery journey began seven years ago, which is a considerable length of time to lose one's impetus. Over such a duration, one's popularity wanes, box office success dwindles, and the people one once collaborated with are no longer in influential positions.
She said: 'Things always evolve and individuals don't give much thought to that individual anymore. It's similar to returning to a previous occupation after seven years, you cannot just show up and anticipate nothing has altered' (shown in March).
She added: "It hurt me a bit that the world kept moving forward without me, but now I have managed to let go of those feelings."
In the year 2004, an image of Sharon was captured. This was three years after she suffered from a brain hemorrhage.
Over the past few years, the lady who has given birth to three children intentionally reduced her involvement in the entertainment industry and redirected her focus towards her artworks, which have been exhibited at various galleries throughout the nation.
She paints for 17 hours each day in her lavish Los Angeles home, and people are recognizing the value of her artwork. Her debut painting was purchased for $30,000.
Sharon was recently asked about her motivation for painting. She reflected on her thoughts and shared that women often have limited opportunities to pursue their desired career paths.
"I had a great fondness for painting when I was younger," shared the author of Beauty Of Living Twice, who grew up in Pennsylvania.
