1331:"He's running around his office in his sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin's performance would get better, and we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem," Stone said on Tuesday's episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast. (Vanity Fair has reached out to Baldwin's rep for comment.) According to Stone, Evans's thinking was, "If I could sleep with Billy, then we would have chemistry onscreen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie. And the real problem in the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress, who could just fuck him and get things back on track. And the real problem is that I was such a tight-ass," she recalled. Sliver was Stone's follow-up to 1992's Oscar-nominated Basic Instinct, during which Stone says she had a markedly different experience. "I didn't have to fuck Michael Douglas," Stone said. "Michael could come to work and just know how to hit those marks and do that line, and rehearse and show up. Now all of a sudden I'm in the 'I have to fuck people' business." In her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone said that the actor-approval clause of her contract was often ignored. "They cast who they wanted. To my dismay, sometimes. To the detriment of the picture, sometimes," she wrote. At times, the Oscar nominee would think, "You guys insisted on this actor when he couldn't get one whole scene out in the test.… Now you think if I fuck him, he will become a fine actor? Nobody's that good in bed," Stone wrote, adding, "I felt they could have just hired a costar with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines. I also felt they could fuck him themselves and leave me out of it." Stone wrote that she did not follow Evans's alleged directive, and was labeled "difficult" for it. "Naturally I didn't you-know-what my costar; he was baffled enough without me confusing him some more," she wrote. "But he did make a few haphazard passes at me in the upcoming weeks, I'm sure spurred on by this genius." 1430:
because he supposedly rejected her. Baldwin goes on to claim that she told her friend Janice Dickinson that she would make him fall for her. On top of that, he claimed he demanded to choreograph an intimate scene in Sliver so he "wouldn't have to kiss Sharon" during it. He also appeared to threaten Stone, writing "I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon?" X users were taken aback by the post, as it is dripping with hatred for Stone. She merely hinted that he struggled on Sliver and he thought that warranted hitting back with a post essentially saying he's repulsed by her? He also couldn't come up with a more original defense than the typical misogynistic delusion that any woman who doesn't sing his praises must be a jaded lover? Meanwhile, Dickinson has already spoken out and stated that he's outright lying—Stone never made any statement to her about being interested in Baldwin.
590:, Stone would name Robert Evans as the producer in question, further stating that Evans had wanted Stone and Baldwin to have sex in order to "have chemistry onscreen" and it would " save the movie", alleging that Evans had told her that "the real problem is that I was such a tight-ass," while Stone refused. Baldwin later attacked these allegations on social media, claiming that Stone had "a crush" on him, and to have "so much dirt on" Stone and sarcastically asking if he should write a book to "tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon", with at least one entertainment blog calling the posts "a bizarre, misogynistic rant" and "dripping with hatred for Stone", while noting that 961: 568:

However, Baldwin's ego was severely hurt by the insinuation that his acting wasn't top-notch.
