Billy Baldwin Slams Sharon Stone For Saying She Was Pressured Into Sleeping With Him For Film

Billy Baldwin unleashed a tirade on social media after his co-star Sharon Stone revealed new details about their box office bomb, Sliver.

Over three decades after the release of Sliver, Sharon dished out lesser-known secrets from the movie’s filming and claimed producer Robert Evans asked her to sleep with Billy to “save the movie.”

“[Evans] is running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin’s performance would get better,” Sharon said on The Louis Theroux Podcast. “And we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem. If I could sleep with Billy then we’d have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie.”

“The real problem in the movie was me, because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f— him and get things back on track,” she continued. “The real problem was I was such a tight a–.”

Sharon, who earned worldwide acclaim for her performance in Basic Instinct, said she didn’t have to do anything to bring out the onscreen chemistry with Michael Douglas while they filmed together.

“I didn’t have to f— Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up,” she said. “Now all of a sudden I’m in the ‘I have to f—  people’ business.”

Following Sharon’s unexpected disclosures, Billy used social media as his mouthpiece to question why the actress was still talking about him after all these years.

“Not sure why Sharon Stone keep[s] talking about me all these years later?” he ranted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?”

Billy also claimed to have “so much dirt on her it would make her head spin”

“Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… ‘I’m gonna make him fall so hard for me, it’s gonna make his head spin.’ ???” he wrote.

“I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I’ve kept quiet,” he added.

Billy also claimed he had some of the racy shots in Sliver created in such a way that he “wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon.”

“The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him [to] allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend,” he said. “Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun.”
