Sharon Stone is an actress known for her bold and daring performances, particularly in films that feature sexually charged scenes. One of her most famous roles was in the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct. She played Catherine Tramell, a seductive and manipulative crime novelist who becomes a prime suspect in a murder investigation.
The film featured several controversial and explicit scenes, including one in which Stone’s character uncrosses her legs during a police interrogation, revealing that she is not wearing underwear. The scene caused a sensation and cemented Stone’s status as a sex symbol. However, there seems to be a darker and more ominous backstory behind the events than previously understood.
Why Did Sharon Stone Slap The Director Of The Film
During an appearance on The Talk in 2014, Sharon Stone recounted how the original plan for the infamous leg-crossing scene in Basic Instinct was meant to be an innuendo, but the director insisted her by saying, “We’re seeing the white of your underwear, I need you to take them off.”

Despite her reservations, Stone complied with the director’s demands but was taken aback when she saw the scene in the theater with an audience. She was so shocked that she went to the director and gave him a good slap, expressing her outrage at the fact that she was not given a chance to see the scene in private before it was shown to the public.
“And I’m like, ‘I don’t want you to see anything, and he’s like, ‘No, no, you’re not going to’… So when I saw it in the theater, with a bunch of other people, I was like [in shock]. When the film ended, I went in the booth, and I slapped [the director], and I said, ‘You could have shown me this to me by myself.’”
