Hollywood mega-star Sharon Stone (66) says she was asked to have sex with co-star William Baldwin (61) on the set of the thriller “Sliver” in 1993. The “Basic Instinct” star reports this in a podcast, according to “Variety” magazine.
For “better chemistry on screen”
The “Sliver” producer Robert Evans, who died in 2019, suggested that she have sex with Baldwin in order to achieve “better chemistry on screen” between the two of them. An affair between the two would “save the film”.
Evans is said to have said that sex would improve Baldwin’s performance
There is a crisis meeting between her and producer Robert Evans: “He runs around his office with sunglasses on and explains to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin. Because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, his performance would be better,” recalls Stone of her conversation with Evans.
«And we needed Billy to get better at the film, because that was the problem. If I could sleep with Billy, then we would have good chemistry on screen, then that would save the film,” said Stone in the latest episode of “The Louis Theroux Podcast”.
Frightening: Stone blames himself for the situation: “The real problem in the film was me because I was so uptight and not like a real actress who could just have sex with him and fix things. The real problem was that I was so uptight.”
When victims blame themselves
Victim blaming not only refers to when the public assigns blame to victims in some way, but also when victims place partial blame on themselves.
That’s what it says in one Paper on the US Department of Justice website: “Behavioral self-blame focuses on specific situational behaviors. This is intended to act as criticism to improve behavior over which you have control. Self-blame would also mean that the victim blames himself for being passive, weak and naive.”
Baldwin: “Does she still have a crush on me?”
The successful director mentioned above, Robert Evans, died in 2019 at the age of 89. He can no longer comment on the allegations. Quite the opposite of William Baldwin.
He made a provocative statement about Stone’s allegations on Tuesday via Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I rejected her advances?”
Baldwin threatens to make dirty revelations about Stone
Baldwin, for his part, threatens revelations about Stone: “Maybe I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, perverted and unprofessional stories about Sharon? That could be funny.”
