Verhoeven The director of Basic Instinct denies that he deceived Sharon Stone to film the famous crossing of legs
Tragedy Tragedy strikes Sharon Stone again: her brother dies months after losing his nephew
You could say that
Basic Instinct
was a turning point in the life of Sharon Stone.
When her career was at a standstill, the film directed by Paul Verhoeven gave her
the push she needed.
However, the film, which became a worldwide bombshell and a cinematic classic,
made a dent in her personal life.
The actress has reappeared on the
Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast,
where she has recounted the
aftermath
of the 1992 film, including her toughest personal experience
: the loss of custody of her son.
"When the judge asked my son, my boy, 'You know
your mother makes sex movies?'
This kind of abuse by the system, which considered what kind of mother I was because I made that movie."

A question that, to this day, Sharon Stone still does not understand: "People walk without clothes on normal television and you, perhaps, saw a sixteenth of a second of my possible nakedness and I lost custody of my son.
"
The interpreter of
Silver
is
the mother of three children,
Roan, 22, Laird, 17, and Quinn, 16. And for her, her motherhood was very special and she did not neglect it because of making movies.
That's why losing custody of her child broke her heart.
"I ended up at the Mayo Clinic with
extra heartbeats
in the upper and lower chambers of my heart," she said.
The famous interrogation scene from Basic Instinct.
However, this is not the first time that the Hollywoodian talks about everything
that her role
in
Basic Instinct
entailed beyond fame.
It was last year when Stone spoke to
The New Yorker
recalling how the film was
"taking its toll on everyone."
In those times, showing
naked bodies,
giving visibility to homosexuality or reflecting sex was not common, a series of ideas that broke with all the norms.
"Verhoeven ended up in the hospital,
ruptured his sinus and couldn't stop the nosebleed. There was
tremendous pressure
on that set," she said.

Likewise, in her memoir
The Beauty of Living Twice
, Sharon Stone revealed that filming the interrogation scene made her feel both
exploited and
cheated
.
"After shooting
Basic Instinct
, I was called to see it. Not alone with the director, but with a room full of
agents and lawyers,
most of whom had nothing to do with the project. That's how I first saw
the image of my vagina,
long after they told me: 'We can't see anything, we just need you to take off your panties, because white already reflects light, so we know you're wearing panties'.
Yes, there have been many points of view on this subject, but since I'm the one with the vagina in question, let me just say: the other points of view are bullshit," she concluded.
