In a candid chat on Let's Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa, Sharon Stone opened up about a troubling encounter with a top executive from Sony Pictures back in the 1980s.
Recounting the distressing incident, Stone disclosed how the Sony head had indecently exposed himself to her during a business meeting.
Reflecting on her reaction at the time, Stone shared that despite feeling nervous, her natural inclination to laughter bubbled up.
She also admitted to breaking down in tears, leading to a state of hysteria until the unnamed executive abruptly left his office, subsequently having Stone escorted out by a secretary.
While Stone refrained from naming the specific individual at Sony Pictures responsible for the harassment, sources point towards the co-chairmen, Peter Guber and Jon Peters, who presided over the studio's establishment in 1987.
The distressing ordeal that Stone endured resurfaced as early as January 1992 when she alluded to facing harassment within Hollywood in an interview with Movieline magazine.
Recalling the unsettling encounters, Stone humorously narrated how she deflected advances from a studio executive who then issued threats of career ruin.
Furthermore, she humorously recounted another incident involving a prominent producer who engaged in lewd behavior during a meeting, evoking a wry reaction from Stone.
With the passage of time, Stone has found herself shedding the need for a facade of toughness she once adopted.
Reflecting on the #MeToo era, she expressed a willingness to forgive past wrongs if accompanied by genuine apologies.
Stone articulated her stance on seeking closure through dialogue, emphasizing that she is receptive to acknowledging remorse but equally resolute in distancing herself from unrepentant offenders.
Stone's unwavering resolve to confront the specter of harassment did not go unnoticed, with only one perpetrator brazen enough to approach her with a semblance of contrition.
However, this gesture fell short of an actual apology, prompting Stone to assert her boundaries firmly.
Recounting the confrontation, Stone recalled how the individual attempted to engage in a dialogue, feigning ignorance of his transgressions, to which Stone delivered a decisive dismissal.
Her steadfast demeanor underscores a firm stance against perpetrators of harassment, signaling a zero-tolerance policy towards those unwilling to reckon with their past misdeeds
