In a conversation about her Hollywood career, the actress claimed that the incident took place during the production of the 1993 thriller directed by Phillip Noyce. Stone said she “should have been on set” at the time Evans asked her to meet him in her office.

“He’s running around his office in his sunglasses, explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and that I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would improve,” Stone alleged. “And we needed Billy to get better in the movie, because that was the problem.”

The actress went on to claim that the producer thought, “If I could sleep with Billy, then we’d have chemistry on screen, and if I just had sex with him, that would save the movie. And the real problem in the movie was me because she was so uptight and she wasn’t like a real actress, that she could just fuck him and get things back on track. And the real problem was that I was a very tight ass.”

After the podcast aired on Tuesday, Baldwin answered to Stone’s accusations on X/Twitter. “Are you not sure why Sharon Stone is still talking about me all these years later? Is she still in love with me or is she still hurt after all these years because I rejected her advances? he wrote.
