In a revealing interview on The Person Who Believed in Me podcast, actress Sharon Stone shared her experience of being physically assaulted years ago. Initially unaware of the incident, she recounted waking up on the floor, disoriented and surrounded by disarray. It wasn't until a decade later, during a medical examination for neck and shoulder pain, that a doctor informed her of the extent of her injuries, describing her fractured thoracic rib cage as evidence of a felony assault. Stone chose to keep the identity of her attacker private, stating she reported the incident but decided against pressing charges, citing her public figure status and the desire to avoid having the assault define her legacy. She emphasized that while she had sufficient circumstantial evidence, the decision was deeply personal. The interview also touched on her career highlights, recovery from a brain hemorrhage, and her experiences with familial abuse, showcasing her resilience and strength.
