Sharon Stone: A 'group of Hillbillies' flipped Roe against Wade in reaction to #MeToo

Sharon Stone thinks the US Supreme Court is just following America's basic instinct to oppress women.

The 'Basic Instinct' icon and recent 'Flight Attendant' star addressed the reversal of Roe v. Wade following the #MeToo movement.

"When they say rape victims should have their babies, I think they have to be very clear that women's rights are on pretty thin ice," Stone said in a cover story. . "What is happening now is the absolute and dramatic backlash of #MeToo."

Stone continued, "I really grew up in the countryside, and if you get kidnapped and put in a hole in a barn by a hillbilly, that's where you have real trouble. It's a bit what's happening now. We're like a hole in a barn with a bunch of hicks."

The Oscar nominee compared the Supreme Court to a "rabid animal: you step back and, you know, wait for someone to put it down," she advised.

Stone said she's been called "bold" and "brave" for her outspokenness throughout her career. When asked why she thinks either of the adjectives have been used to describe her, she said: 'Because I'm comfortable with myself and I don't feel personally oppressed. I think I can probably speak for you and the rest of the female planet when I say there's a giant effort that we don't feel free and that we feel oppressed. And I'm not going."

Stone previously opened up in her memoir "The Beauty of Living Twice" that she would never again work with an unnamed "#MeToo candidate" director who punished her on set for refusing to "sit on his knees and follow the instructions". She said another producer encouraged her to have sex with her co-star so they could have better on-screen chemistry.

The actress also infamously took issue with "Basic Instinct" Paul Verhoeven for his consent to film his "parts" in the sequence where his character Catherine crosses her legs during a police interrogation.

"I was told, 'We can't see anything - I just need you to take your panties off, because white reflects light, so we know you're wearing panties,'" Stone recalled.

It wasn't until Stone saw a cut of the film with a room full of agents, lawyers, producers and Verhoeven that she realized her genitals were on display. "That's how I saw my vagina get shot for the first time," Stone said. “I had decisions to make. I went to the screening booth, slapped Paul, left, went to my car, and called my lawyer, Marty Singer."

Stone continued, "I knew what movie I was doing. For heaven's sake, I fought for this role, and all the while, only this director stood up for me. I had to find a way to become objective. So I thought and thought and chose to allow this scene in the film. Why? Because it was okay for the film and for the character; and because, after all, I did.”

Verhoeven responded to Stone's claims in Variety, saying that "Stone's version is impossible".

“She knew exactly what we were doing,” Verhoeven said. "I told her it was based on a story of a woman I knew when I was a student who regularly crossed her legs without panties at parties. When my friend told her we could see her vagina, she said, "Sure, that's why I do it." Then Sharon and I decided to do a similar sequence.

Stone maintained his story, concluding, "Yes, there have been many views on this subject, but since I'm the one with the vagina in question, let me say: the other views view are bullshit."
