Sharon Stone Once Blacked Out During Her SNL Monologue For A Sad Reason
During her first and only time hosting Saturday Night Live in April of the year Basic Instinct was released, Sharon Stone faced a harrowing ordeal when protestors targeted her over the film’s controversial content.
Speaking on Dana Carvey and David Spade’s ‘Fly on the Wall’ podcast, Sharon Stone described how she was overwhelmed with fear as demonstrators attempted to storm the Studio H8 stage.
”For most of the show, I was completely blacked out with terror.”
She credited SNL boss Lorne Michaels for intervening and ensuring her safety, preventing the protestors from harming her.
“He personally saved my life. A bunch of people started storming the stage, saying they were going to kill me during the opening monologue.”
Stone recounted how Michaels bravely confronted the protestors and halted their advance, ultimately saving her life. Despite the chaos unfolding around her, Stone continued with the live broadcast, delivering her monologue as police restrained the protestors at her feet.
”The police that are always in there during all of that, and the security that is always in there froze ’cause they’d never seen anything like that happen. They froze.”
“Lorne started screaming, ‘What are you guys doing, watching the show?’ And Lorne started, himself, beating up and pulling these people back from the stage.”
“All these people are getting beat up and handcuffed right in front of me, and we went live. I was doing this live monologue while they were handcuffing and beating up people at my feet.”
Fans are certainly thankful nothing happened to Sharon Stone in the end, which is all that matters.
Sharon Stone Alleged Basic Instinct Producers Pressured Her Into Having S*x With Male Co-Stars
In an interview with Variety, Stone shared disturbing details from her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice. She claimed she was deceived into a specific scene and alleged that male producers repeatedly asked her to engage in intimate relations with her male co-stars, purportedly to enhance on-screen chemistry.
‘‘I watched the chocolate balls rolling around, thinking, You guys insisted on this actor when he couldn’t get one whole scene out in the test.… Now you think if I f*** him, he will become a fine actor? Nobody’s that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines. I also felt they could f*** him themselves and leave me out of it. It was my job to act and I said so. This was not a popular response. I was considered difficult.
Sharon Stone’s allegations could have significant repercussions in an industry where charges related to intimacy are treated seriously. The possibility of legal consequences for the producers remains uncertain.
