Sharon Stone has spoken out over a violent attack she once suffered in her own home at the hands of a person she knew, leading to significant injuries
Sharon Stone has revealed she was once violently attacked in her own home by someone she knew. The Basic Instinct icon, 68, said she didn’t know the extent of her injuries until a decade later. Sharon said she was struck from behind and her home was ransacked.
Speaking on The Person Who Believed In Me podcast, she said: “I didn’t really know until ten years later what had happened to me because I woke up. I was unconscious on the floor.
“The two couches were sideways. The coffee table was all over the place.” The screen star didn’t name her attacker.
Sharon added: “I went to a clinic because I was having a lot of problems with the back of my neck and my shoulders were so sore.
“I went to a neck and spine clinic in Marina Del Rey and they had given me propofol and they’d done a lot of X-rays of my front and back and all this stuff.
“They were going to do some kind of injections into what they thought was arthritis in my neck and shoulders, and they had done all these preliminary x-rays of my thoracic rib cage and my neck and my shoulders and my spine.
“The doctor came in and he’s like, ‘We’re not going to be able to do this surgery.’ He’s like, ‘Your thoracic rib cage is all fractured and scarred back together. It’s clear that you were attacked and that what happened to you was a felony.”
Stone was asked directly by podcast host and CBS correspondent David Begnaud who attacked her, but refused to reveal a name.
She said: “I am not going to say publicly, but I am going to say that we did report and we did do everything. I had the opportunity to press charges, but because it had been a decade and because I’m a public figure, I decided not to.”
While Stone said she felt she had sufficient “circumstantial evidence to make a case,” she added that she also chose not to pursue the matter further because she “did not want that to be my legacy.”
Begnaud later queried if it was a case of domestic violence, but Stone said: “I’m not at liberty to say.”
