Stone remembered watching the interrogation scene for the first time. “After we shot Basic Instinct, I was called in to see it. Not just with the director, as you might expect, given the situation that silenced us all, so to speak, but with a room full of agents and lawyers, most of whom had nothing to do with the project, ”she wrote.
That was how I first saw my vagina shot long after I was told, ‘We can’t see anything – I just need your panties to take your panties off because the white reflects the light, so we know you wearing panties. ”
According to Stone, “she went to the projection booth, punched (director) Paul (Verhoeven) in the face, left, went to my car and called my attorney, Marty Singer.”
While the 63-year-old star, who played murder suspect Catherine Tramell, acknowledges that there are “ many points of view on this topic, ” she claims that, as “ the one with the vagina … the other positions are nonsense. * t. ”
After consulting with her attorney, Stone said, she ultimately chose not to ban the controversial scene, according to the clip in Vanity Fair. “Why? Because it was correct for the movie and for the character, and because I did it after all,” she wrote.
Verhoeven previously denied that Stone did not consent to her crotch being filmed crossing her legs and letting go.
“Sharon is lying,” he told ICON in 2017. “Any actress knows what she’s going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point at it with the camera.”
A Verhoeven representative declined to comment on the matter on Friday.
Stone’s memoir also details some of the sexual harassment she faced throughout her career – most notably, a producer’s advice to sleep with a male co-star to improve their “ on-screen chemistry. ”
“I felt like they could have just hired a talented co-star, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his rules.”
