Joy Behar recently shared her thoughts on the ongoing public feud between Sharon Stone and Billy Baldwin, suggesting that Stone may be enjoying the attention as it brings her back into the spotlight. The discussion stemmed from Stone's revelation that producer Robert Evans had allegedly suggested she have sex with Baldwin to enhance his acting performance in their 1993 film 'Sliver.'
Behar humorously pointed out the absurdity of the producer's theory, likening it to actors in 'The Godfather' having to behead a horse to play a mobster. She questioned the relevance of Stone bringing up the incident over 30 years later and speculated that Stone might be welcoming the controversy to regain public attention.
Following Stone's disclosure, Baldwin responded by hinting at revealing unsettling stories about Stone, leading to a back-and-forth exchange between the two actors. Some of the co-hosts on 'The View' expressed varying opinions on the situation, with discussions ranging from the #MeToo movement to Baldwin's marriage and Stone's motives for revisiting the past.
Stone's initial account of the alleged incident was detailed in her 2021 memoir, where she refrained from naming Evans and Baldwin. However, she later identified them in a recent podcast interview, reigniting the controversy surrounding the film 'Sliver.'
The social media exchanges between Stone and Baldwin have kept the public intrigued, with Baldwin teasing the possibility of sharing more 'disturbing, kinky, and unprofessional tales' about Stone. The ongoing feud has sparked debates about accountability, relevance, and the dynamics of power in the entertainment industry.
As the saga continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Stone and Baldwin will navigate the aftermath of their public spat and whether it will have lasting implications on their respective careers and public images.
