It Broke My HeartSharon Stone recently opened up about one of the biggest movies of her career in a new interview.
Appearing on Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, the award-winning actress looked back on what it was like working on Basic Instinct. She recalled that she ended up losing custody of her son Roan because she starred in the career-defining movie.
I lost custody of my child, she said. When the judge asked my child my tiny little boy, Do you know your mother makes sex movies? This kind of abuse by the system, that it was considered what kind of parent I was because I made that movie.
Stone had adopted Roan with her then-husband Phil Bronstein in 2000. When Bronstein filed for divorce in 2003, the judge denied her request for full custody of their son in favor of Bronstein.
