Sharon Stone Opens Up About Online Dating Mishaps
Renowned actress Sharon Stone, 65, recently shared her experiences with online dating in an interview with British newspaper The Times, detailing both comical and concerning encounters.
Stone revealed that she had encountered a man who turned out to be a convicted criminal, and another who was noticeably affected by drug addiction. The man, who was significantly emaciated compared to his profile picture, was observed taking absinthe, prompting Stone to leave the date at the luxurious Bel-Air hotel.
The actress also shared that many of her dates have used her as a therapist, seeking support and guidance through difficult life events. Stone acknowledged that it can be rewarding to help others but expressed that she did not sign up for dating apps with the intention of being a therapist.
While Stone does not hide her identity on these dating apps, the famously unfiltered actress confessed that Bumble blocked her account, assuming she was an identity thief. After the incident, Stone published a tweet urging the app not to be exclusive with her and to let her continue using the platform.
The actress also shared her approach to relationships, emphasizing her desire to keep her children separate from her dating life, only introducing them to a partner if the relationship becomes very serious. She also revealed that she prefers to limit her dating to her home country to prevent unnecessary heartache for her children.
In addition to her dating life, Stone opened up about a traumatic childhood experience where she was slapped by a classmate, an incident that still haunts her to this day. She explained that despite her success as a movie star, the experience has left her feeling insecure and reserved in social situations.
Overall, Sharon Stone’s candid and honest reflections show that even celebrities face challenges navigating the world of online dating.
