Sharon Stone reflects on her miscarriages and me too in candid interview

Sharon Stone sincerely reflected on her past miscarriages and praised the “world fellowship” for speaking out now about “issues of loss and heartache”.

The Basic Instinct actress, 63, explained that she went through “ 36 hours of working alone ” after losing a baby at five and a half months pregnant, revealing that nurses were staying with her and that she felt a “ strong sense of understanding. ”

While elsewhere in her interview with Radio 4 Women’s Hour and BBC Sounds, Sharon spoke about the Me Too movement and said she thinks people are afraid of making a mistake.

Speaking about her own experiences after the publication of her autobiography, The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon said she felt a “ strong sense of brotherhood ” from the nurses who helped her through a “ false layer of a fifth month and a half ”.

She said: ‘It was a devastating experience and I have to say I was really grateful to Chrissy Teigen for allowing us to publicly share what she went through.

“ When I lost my last baby, then I went back to the hospital and had 36 hours of labor on my own to, of course, deliver nothing – and the nurses who were there. hospital with me two days before when they took the last baby in and sat down with me on their day off.

“I really felt such a sense of brotherhood and understanding. Because I would have been alone. And it’s such a lonely feeling anyway.

The actress went on to praise Vanessa Kirby, who played the character of Martha who lost her baby in a tragic home birth in the Netflix movie Pieces of a Woman.

Sharon added: “ I was so grateful to Vanessa Kirby for making Pieces of a Woman.

“ I think we’re finally reaching a point in our global fellowship, where we’re talking about issues of loss and heartache, rape and brutalization and all the things that have happened to us and to our bodies, and that our minds and hearts have gone through and we are no longer carrying water.

“We don’t carry a shame that doesn’t belong to us. We let out.

“This is when everyone was afraid to come and we would be what we are really meant to be, which is the great brotherhood.”

Sharon miscarried several times while married to ex-husband Phil Bronstein and told Women’s Hour she had the ‘rheumatoid factor’ which made it difficult for her to carry a pregnancy to term.

Sharon has since adopted three sons, Roan, Laird and Quinn. The star has previously revealed to AARP that she was approved to adopt her first son Roan, born in 2000, as she returned home after a miscarriage.

Elsewhere in her interview for Women’s Hour, Sharon also reflected on the Me Too movement and said she believes things have gone “ a bit too far. ”

She said: ‘I think we’re going to have to find a balance because it’s a business where we all have to be friends and family.

“We’re a little stiff right now because everyone is afraid of making a mistake or saying something that will offend someone because there is so much ‘oh he touched my arm’ or ‘ he said I was pretty “.”

“ There is so much now that I personally think it is a bit too far, people have just become completely pissed off with what they say is offensive to them ”

Sharon also discussed the film industry has given her a label of “difficult woman”, saying that it comes from her inability to lie.

She says: “What it really is is that I don’t have the capacity to lie. And I think people find it quite off-putting.

“I don’t know if it’s really hard or just a constraint. And I think people find it shocking and disturbing.

“ And when I tell the truth it can sound quite offensive, or Hollywood’s favorite word – difficult. ”

It comes after Sharon revealed she had an abortion after getting pregnant with ‘her first serious boyfriend’ when she was 18.

The actress recalls the incident from the pages of her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, blaming her “ extreme country background ” and “ sexual inexperience ” for her teenage pregnancy.

Stone was driven by her then-boyfriend to Ohio because she was “ too young ” to have an abortion in her home state of Pennsylvania, according to an excerpt published by The Sun on Wednesday.

After the procedure, Sharon stayed [her] room and bled for days “because she was” too afraid to tell anyone. ”

“ When she finally got out, she burned her bloody sheets and clothes before going straight back to school, ” the newspaper summed up of the traumatic incident.

Basic Instinct star’s heartfelt memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, which hit shelves on Tuesday, is bombarded with the star’s colorful life.

She also looks at her marriages to producer Michael Greenburg, 69, and journalist Phil Bronstein, 70, to whom she lost custody of their adopted son Roan, three, when they divorced in 2004. .

“ I couldn’t function, ” Sharon wrote of her son’s loss of primary custody, which she said caused her to prolapse of the valve which led to her developing anorexia.

After a “ very long and very difficult game of custody chess ” – 13 years to be exact – a Roan, now 20, lives with his mother, as well as his foster siblings Laird, 15, and Quinn, 14.
