The actress alleged that a producer pressured her to sleep with her 'Sliver' co-star.
Billy Baldwin is reacting to Sharon Stone's claim. After the actress alleged that late producer Robert Evans pressured her to sleep with Baldwin while making the 1993 thriller Sliver, the actor spoke out on X.
"Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later?" Baldwin tweeted. "Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances? Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… 'I'm gonna make him fall so hard for me, it's gonna make his head spin.' ???"
"I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I've kept quiet," the tweet continued. "The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn't have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun."
Baldwin's wife, Chynna Phillips, also seemingly reacted to Stone's allegation by sharing a Tim Keller quote on Instagram.
"If you were a hundred times worse than you are, your sins would be no match for his mercy," the quote read, with Phillips captioning the image "perspective."
Stone first made her allegations in her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, though she didn't name Baldwin or Evans at the time. As Stone alleges in the book, the then-unnamed producer "explained to me why I should f**k my co-star so that we could have on-screen chemistry."
The comment, Stone writes, left her thinking, "You guys insisted on this actor when he couldn't get one whole scene out in the test... Now you think if I f**k him, he will become a fine actor? Nobody’s that good in bed."
"I felt they could have just hired a co-star with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines," she writes. "I also felt they could f**k him themselves and leave me out of it. It was my job to act and I said so."
"Naturally I didn’t you-know-what my co-star; he was baffled enough without me confusing him some more," she writes. "But he did make a few haphazard passes at me in the upcoming weeks, I’m sure spurred on by this genius." Stone writes that her response was not "popular" and caused her to be "considered difficult" on set.
The story was brought up again recently when Stone claimed Evans, who died in 2019, was the producer in question during an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast.
"He's running around his office in his sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner," she claimed. "And I should sleep with Billy Baldwin because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin's performance would get better."
Stone alleged that Evans told her "the real problem in the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f**k him and get things back on track and the real problem was that I was such a tight ass."
Stone additionally compared Baldwin to her Basic Instinct co-star Michael Douglas, saying, "I didn't have to f**k Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and 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 f**k people business.'"
