Sharon Stone accuses late Hollywood producer of pressuring her for sex.
Renowned actress Sharon Stone has come forward with disturbing allegations against the late Hollywood producer Robert Evans, accusing him of pressuring her to engage in sexual activity with her co-star Billy Baldwin during the filming of the 1993 thriller “Sliver.”
Stone made these revelations during a recent episode of the Louis Theroux Podcast on Spotify.
In her account, Stone detailed how Evans summoned her to his office during the shooting of “Sliver” and attempted to persuade her to have sex with Baldwin, citing it as a means to enhance Baldwin’s performance and salvage the film.

‘He called me to his office. He had these very low ’70s, and ’80s couches, so I’m essentially sitting on the floor when I should have been on set. And he’s running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would get better, and we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem,” the 66-year-old said during the podcast.
”And if I could sleep with Billy then we’d have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie, and the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f**k him and get things back on track. The real problem was I was such a tight a**e,” she continued.
According to Stone, Evans insinuated that intimate relations between her and Baldwin would create on-screen chemistry, thereby resolving perceived issues with the movie’s production.
Stone, now 66, recounted her discomfort during the encounter, describing Evans’ assertions that her professionalism was hindering the project.
She reiterated that she did not comply with Evans’ demands and found his behavior highly inappropriate.
Responding to Stone’s accusations, Billy Baldwin took to social media to refute her claims and insinuated ulterior motives on her part.
”Not sure why Sharon Stone keeps talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?… I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet”, he wrote on X. He also shared a picture of him and Ms Stone during an intimate scene in the movie.

Baldwin questioned Stone’s motivations for revisiting the incident years later, suggesting that she may still harbor feelings for him or be nursing past grievances.
Stone had previously alluded to the incident in her 2021 memoir, “The Beauty of Living Twice,” without explicitly naming Evans or Baldwin.
In her book, she condemned the pressure she faced from a producer to engage in sexual activity with a co-star, emphasizing her refusal to comply with such demands.
Robert Evans, a legendary figure in Hollywood known for producing classic films such as “Rosemary’s Baby,” “Love Story,” “The Godfather,” and “Chinatown,” passed away in 2019 at the age of 89.
As Sharon Stone accuses late Hollywood producer of pressuring her for sex, Stone’s allegations against Evans shed light on the pervasive issue of sexual coercion and harassment within the entertainment industry.
Her courage in speaking out underscores the importance of confronting abuses of power and advocating for a safer and more respectful work environment for all individuals involved in the film industry.
