“Early in my career I was sexually harassed by a former manager at Sony Pictures.”
This is Sharon Stone's shocking revelation during an interview with Kelly Ripa on the “Let's talk off camera” podcast.
The episode dates back to the late 1980s. The actress said she met the manager in his office. Here the man would have made her sit on the sofa, starting to compliment her. Then, Stone continued, he would slowly approach and pull his genitals out of his pants.
«I was very young - explained the star of “Basic instinct” and “Casinò” - as I usually do when I'm nervous, I started laughing. At the same time, however, I was also crying and I couldn't stop because I was in a hysterical moment. He - added the actress - didn't know what to do and in the end he closed his trousers and went out through a door behind his desk".
Stone did not name the top manager who allegedly harassed her, but hypotheses and background information began to circulate in the US media.
In January 2018, in the midst of #MeToo, the star was asked if she had been a victim of sexual harassment or assault.
«I've been in the industry for 40 years - commented Stone - can you imagine what it was like? I've seen it all."
