Sharon Stone says she lost custody of her son due to ‘Basic Instinct’ nudity. “The judge asked my child, my tiny little boy, ‘Do you know your mother makes sex movies?’” Stone recalled on the “Table for Two” podcast this week.
But the memorable moment, which Stone has long claimed not to have known about during the filming, had a more significant and painful impact on her personal life decades later, Stone said this week: It cost her the custody of her young son.” podcast, Stone claimed that judicial prejudice unfolded during her 2004 divorce case when the presiding judge asked her then-4-year-old son, Roan, if he knew that his mother starred in “sex movies.
“I lost custody of my child,” Stone told host Bruce Bozzi on Tuesday. “The judge asked my child, my tiny little boy, ‘Do you know your mother makes sex movies?’”Stone, 64, said the scene was “weaponized against her” during the divorce case with ex-husband Phil Bronstein, who filed for divorce in 2003. The case focused over the custody of Roan, now 22, whom the couple had adopted in 2000.
Yet the actress railed against the presiding judge from 2004, who she did not name, and the effect it had on her. She claimed this week that it contributed to her cardiac problems that forced her to be hospitalized later that year. “People are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular TV now and you saw maybe like a 16th of a second of possible nudity of me — and I lost custody of my child,” she said on the podcast. “Are you kidding?”It’s unclear who the judge was in the 2004 case and where in California the case took place. Massullo assumed office in 2006 and oversaw a separate custody hearing involving Stone and Bronstein in 2008, records show.
Stone went from a relatively unheralded actress who was best known for her role in “Total Recall” to Hollywood’s A-list after she was cast in “Basic Instinct” as Catherine Tramell, a beautiful and brilliant crime novelist who is also a serial killer. While the film received mixed reviews, Stone was lauded by critics in a movie that Rolling Stone hailed as “a cinematic wet dream” and was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama at the 1993 Golden Globe Awards.
