<a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/sharon-stones-brother-patrick-dies-aged-57-months-after-death-of-his-infant-son" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharon Stone</a> has revealed the impact her role in Basic Instinct had on the custody battle over her eldest child. The 64-year-old actress was married to Phil Bronstein in 1998, but the couple soon separated and got involved in a lengthy and turbulent divorce battle. The 72-year-old journalist was awarded primary custody of their son Roan - who they adopted in 2000 - while Stone was granted visitation rights. Now, in a recent feature on the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sharon-stone/id1658178194?i=1000603130893">Table for Two</a> podcast, the actress candidly opened up about the severe consequences she faced in her personal life after appearing in the 1992 thriller. <img class="wp-image-1263199444 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/PMA3PP-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1750" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct.

During a well-known scene, Tramell uncrossed her legs while at a police investigation, and viewers could see that she wasn't wearing any underwear. Stone spoke about the effect the film had on her custody battle and told the host Bruce Bozzi: "I lost custody of my child," as cited by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/mar/09/sharon-stone-says-lost-custody-son-basic-instinct">The Guardian</a>. "When the judge asked my child - my tiny little boy: 'Do you know your mother makes sex movies?' Like, this kind of abuse by the system - that I was considered what kind of parent I was because I made that movie. "People are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular TV now and you saw maybe like a 16th of a second of possible nudity of me - and I lost custody of my child," she continued. "Are you kidding?" <img class="wp-image-1263199443 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/2G859PT-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1707" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Sharon Stone and son Roan Bronstein Stone at the amfAR Gala.

"I ended up in the Mayo Clinic with extra heartbeats in the upper and lower chamber of my heart," she disclosed to the host, per <a href="https://www.insider.com/sharon-stone-lost-custody-son-basic-instinct-nudity-2023-3">Insider</a>. "It broke my heart." Last year, Stone published a memoir titled The Beauty of Living Twice and wrote about her belief that director Paul Verhoeven had tricked her into exposing herself in the scene. She alleged in her novel that didn't know that the flashing shot would be used until she watched it at a screening alongside agents and lawyers. "That was how I saw my vagina shot for the first time, long after I’d been told, 'We can’t see anything - I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on,'" Stone wrote, as stated by the <a href="https://www.insider.com/sharon-stone-lost-custody-son-basic-instinct-nudity-2023-3">outlet</a>. "Now, here is the issue. It didn’t matter anymore. It was me and my parts up there. I had decisions to make," she said, adding that she went to the projection booth and slapped the director across the face. <h6>Featured image credit: dpa picture alliance / Alamy</h6>
