Sharon Stone Takes a Stand for Diversity in Hollywood and Shares Personal Struggle at “Raising Our Voices” Gala

Sharon Stone (65) takes a real stand with her own industry.

The “Basic Instinct” actor hosted the Hollywood Reporter’s “Raising Our Voices” gala in Los Angeles last week.

There, Stone explained that, with a background in the big health crisis 22 years ago, she belongs to one of the diversity groups.

– I suffered a stroke in 2001. My brain bled for nine days. I spent the next seven years recovering and haven’t had a job since, she said from the podium, according to Hollywood Reporter.

– Out for 20 years

Stone confided during “Raising Your Voices” that she preferred not to talk about it when it happened.

– You know, if something bad happens to you, you’re out. Something wrong happened to me and I’ve been out for 20 years. I have not had jobs, she told the assembly.

Stone points out that she was “a very big movie star” in her time, and that she “smashed the glass ceiling with the top of her head several times”.

The Hollywood Reporter has posted parts of Stone’s speech on TikTok:

That she has not worked is, however, a truth with modifications. Because even though Stone has not had any great success as an actress in recent years, she has appeared in several TV series, including “Mosaic” in 2018 and “The Flight Attendant” in 2022.

– Antiwoke-tull

Stone spoke at the gala about how diversity encompasses so much, everything from a bodily injury to the color of the skin.

– If you stand out, you have to claim your place in this industry. And we are here to raise our voices for you, she said.

Stone stated that for the past 20 years she worked for the World Health Organization and the United Nations.

– It is important to me that diversity is not erased by this antiwokeantiwokeAntiwoke are reactions to what many perceive as a distorted and exaggerated focus on identity and recognition, often issues of race and gender identity, according to Professor Torkel Brekke at OsloMet.-the nonsense in our nation.

The term “woke” means to be aware of and critical of social discrimination. “Antiwoke” is used for those who are critical of “woke”, and who believe that “woke” implies an exaggerated focus on political correctness.
