Sharon Stone Calls Cancel Culture the ‘Stupidest Thing I Have Ever Seen': ‘Give People an Opportunity'
2021-03-30
[People] Sharon Stone isn't holding back her thoughts on cancel culture.

On Thursday, the 63-year-old actress appeared on an episode of SiriusXM's Just Jenny radio show where she discussed her feelings on the controversial topic and why she thinks it can be counterproductive.

"I think cancel culture is the stupidest thing I have ever seen happen," she told host Jenny Hutt. "I think when people say things that they feel and mean, and it's offensive to you, it's a brilliant opportunity for everyone to learn and grow and understand each other."

The Basic Instinct star — whose new book, The Beauty of Living Twice, is out March 30 — noted that people should use their different experiences as a way to better learn about one another.

"We all come from different ages, different cultures, different backgrounds, different things, and have had different experiences, different traumas, different upbringings, different parents, different religious backgrounds, different everything," she explained.

#15  Of Hollywood's hills, and of Charon,
Of caverns unholy and barren,
Of fountains of stardom
And mountains of... boredom,
Enthrallingly sing, rose of Sharon!

#14  The Woke-ists will tell her "shut up boomer". Sharon Stone, welcome to the results of years of leftist indoctrination, and valuing feeling over faccts, indoctrination over education, emotions over reason.

You sided with it, now reap the consequences.

#13  There is in each human an Instinct
Basic, it's said: such a no-think
As shooting a Beaver.
So did Hollywood receive her:
All hail, Queen of Pink-Money-NoStink!

#12  In Old LaLaLand it was said
'Twas better by far red than dead
But our era's mortality
Has a different reality:
"Stone Sharon!!! Did you HEAR what she said??!"

#11  A Hollywood starlet (no rookie)
Showed herself a formidable (tough) cookie
Of cancel-culture and all things Woke
She made mincemeat - no joke!
Tho' Ms Stone's ever known by her nookie

#10  This nonsmoking nudnik of Needham
Can't join 'em, nor yet will I beat 'em,
But catching the eye of
Each skulking pariah,
I'll smile: "That's the smell, friend, of freedom."

#9  "All cultures, no matter how nutty,
Are good, be they ever so bloody.
She's Black and--" New song!
"Cancel culture is wrong,"
Sings Ms. Stone, "cuz it's messin' with Woody!"

#8  Cancel Culture has been around for at least a few years now. What made her finally notice? Did some friend of hers get cancelled?

#5  Obviously calls for removal from streaming services and a remake of Basic Instinct with a trans actor so that we all know there is no such thing as cancel culture.

#2  ...when people maybe bathe or washed their clothes once a week or less, it may have been a preferred odor.
