I love Sharon! She is a smart, talented and sensitive person.

[@stevechappellie904]

Love Sharon. Always have and always will. STUNNING, INTELLIGENT and STRONG! Plus look how naturally fabulous she is aging!

[@Cocoandindy]

Bravo Sharon! Much respect ❤

Cudos. Much respect, Sharon Stone🙏🏼

Great speech - on an issue that has existed since the casting couch.

[@arnolddejong5707]

I found that an incredible strong and genuine speech of Sharon Stone. She was indeed once at the top of her business. Some of the most iconic movie scenes are hers. It must have been incredibly difficult to “be out” as she says it. Still she is standing there again. Doing het best with what she has left. One thing for sure she still has is her strength and her resilience. That is what people should get. Some do but many of the comments below this post are just wanting to bash her and/or her message. That kind of envy and anger of these negative responders proves exactly her point.

What a fabulous person inside and outside .

[@andersenkalle]

”I’ve been out for 20 years. I haven’t had jobs”. This is not true at all.😂

[@nimekupata]

Not A listed like she was. Did you run out to see Slotomania?

[@andersenkalle]

@@nimekupata A or B, that's not the argument. She's had plenty of work.

[@nimekupata]

@@andersenkalle meh it’s no, because it’s scrap work compared to what she did before. Oh and I like her and she’s an excellent actress.

[@andersenkalle]

@@nimekupata Her movies started flopping so studios eventually didn’t bet on her as much anymore. That eventually happens to almost every actor/actress. It doesn’t mean she isn’t talented or that she can’t get a job. She works plenty. ”I haven’t had a job in 20 years” is just false. If she said ”I haven’t been as popular as i was in 20 years” i would agree.

[@duppyshuman]

True. You show up to work, you get a paycheck-you're working.

[@JP-he6rq]

well said Sharon..

[@hed4bed]

Smart, brave ,super talented and very beautiful actress, that’s been through her own personal wars - the fact the film industry big wigs were unsupportive and ultimately sacrificial regarding her career, amounted to a situation whereby it was very much to their own loss the fools - Well done Sharon for standing up and saying it like it is. We will always love you for that.

[@TB-pf6nv]

A star that never goes out 😊

Thank you ! It's how I raise my kids ...do not take Sh** from anyone once off expected.

[@Catmac2000]

Then she storms off

[@Petlover10000]

That's how she is, every speech was over, she got this mean look and stormed off the stage.

[@Fern19671]

Finally someone who has inteligence, guts to speak up and has substance. And in speaking Ms. Stone also gives an example of how others should express their views in a civilized fashion. Look foward to seeing her working soon soon! 🌟

[@MrFishing4u]

She has much substance as anyone who believes a democrat-progressive is a moral character. Democrats are extremely evil and destructive towards all life!

[@Petlover10000]

She kept changing her story, she has said only 5% to survive, now, she said 1%.

[@user-xg6bw3yt6c]

Does it matter which percentage she had. How would you consider if you had 1% or 5 % chance for survival? Would it be a bid difference.

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

If you haven't worked in 20 years why does the internet movie database say different. It has listed alot of movie and tv roles for you since 2003.

[@photostudio5861]

Her issue is borderline personality disorder.

[@monaonassis6346]

Thought I was the only one who could see it. 👏🏻

[@leighanneeson8043]

Strong, a voice, smart interesting woman not completely right but an interesting stand

[@nicholasjanke3476]

Yes she has a point in that she's somewhat of a fallen star. A few reasons for that she's older, she chose a,few turkey films, she was sick for a long time,

[@NovaFeedback1979]

Sharon Stone hasn't had jobs for the last twenty years? Her imdb/wikipedia credits say otherwise. 🤔

[@Complexanxiety]

Right!! Basic Instinct was in 2005 or 2006.

[@Petlover10000]

@@Complexanxiety Are you serious? BI came out in 1992?

[@LucianaVIP1]

Her speech is weird. Something feels off. Or am I delusional?

[@guestreet6341]

@@Petlover10000 he is very serious because BI2 came out in 2006

[@Petlover10000]

She has made a few movies and TV shows as Guest for the last 20 years, what was she talking about not having jobs for 20 years???
