Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct Nude Scene Controversy Explained
Paul Verhoeven has gone on record claiming that Sharon Stone’s story about her “Basic Instinct” nude scene is incorrect. He told Variety in 2021, “My memory is radically different from Sharon’s memory. […] But her version is impossible. She knew exactly what we were doing. I told her it was based on a story of a woman that I knew when I was a student who did the crossing of her legs without panties regularly at parties.
