Sharon Stone reveals she was a victim of sexual misconduct in Hollywood
SHARON Stone said she “has seen it all” when quizzed about sexual misconduct in Hollywood.
The Basic Instinct star, 59, was asked if she had been put in an uncomfortable position.
Stone said: “Can you imagine the business I stepped into 40 years ago? I didn’t come here with any protection.”
She spoke out following the #MeToo movement, calling out the likes of alleged abusers like Harvey Weinstein.
Stone also spoke about her medical crisis in 2001, when a haemorrhage almost cost the actress her life.
Brave Sharon had a "five per cent chance" of living when she was struck by a brain haemorrhage.
The 59-year-old Basic Instinct actress had to re-learn ";everything" when her life was "wiped out" as a result of the ruptured blood vessel in 2001.
In a candid interview Sharon said she believed work dried up following her recovery because she was considered to be a "broken person".
Sharon - who will make her TV return in Steven Soderbergh's 'Mosaic' later this month - said: "There was about a five per cent chance of me living. My whole life was wiped out.
"Others aren't that interested in a broken person. I was alone."
Sharon became a household name after starring racy 1992 classic Basic Instinct alongside Michael Douglas.
She told said: "I'm sure I seemed peculiar coming through this all these years, and I didn't want to tell everybody what was happening because, you know, this is not a forgiving environment.
"I'm so grateful to have this. The chance of my having it was so slim."
Sharon previously recalled suffering a near-death experience in which she saw a "giant vortex of light" when her brain haemorrhage struck.
She said: "I feel that I did die. This kind of giant vortex of light was upon me and - poof!
