Stone told iHeartRadio's Table for Two podcast that the events were used against her in court during a custody battle for her adopted son Roan. "When the court questioned my child — my small little guy, 'Do you know your mother does sex movies?'" the actress claimed. Like, this type of system abuse — I was asked what kind of parent I was because I produced that movie."
The filmmaker, according to Stone, inserted the naked shot to the film without her knowledge or approval. She claimed that the shooting caused her to lose custody of the kid. "People are going around with no clothes on normal TV now, and you saw maybe a sixteenth of a second of probable nudity of me — and I lost custody of my child," she continued. "Are you serious?"
The actress said that she was humiliated and laughed at during the 1993 awards season when her name was put up for nomination for Best Actress for Basic Instinct. The neo-noir erotic thriller starred Michael Douglas and was a huge commercial hit. The film made over $300 million and was one of the highest-grossing films then.
