Talking further about the fame that came with Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone revealed that the film led to severe backlash and she was judged to the point where she lost her peace of mind. She shared that people around her started believing that she must be like her character in Basic Instinct and it affected her personal life as well as her personal rights. She shared that it became traumatic for her as she lost her child’s custody in her divorce because the judge believed that she was making “sex movies”. Sharon Stone went on to say that the quality of her work wasn’t recognised until about 20 years later.
