Sharon Stone decided to end her second marriage due to the way her then-husband reacted to her terrifying health scare.
During Monday’s episode of David Begnaud’s “The Person Who Believed In Me” podcast, the “Basic Instinct” actress said she learned she had tumors in her breasts in the early 2000s.
“One of them was bigger than the size of my entire left breast,” she recalled. “And the doctor had come out to my house and said, ‘Look, we think you should have a bilateral mastectomy. This is really bad. And we usually, when they’re all the way up into here, we know before we go in that they’re cancer.’”
Stone, 68, said she was certain that her tumors were benign.
“I said, ‘I don’t have cancer,’” she shared on the podcast. “And [the doctor] said, ‘You don’t get to decide that.’ And I said, ‘I do. I do get to decide that. I’m deciding.’”
Ultimately, the “Casino” star said she decided she would undergo the surgery “because I’m not f–king around.”
However, Stone’s then-husband made it clear that he did not support her decision.
“My husband said, ‘This is ridiculous,’” she remembered. “And got up and left the room.”
Podcast host Begnaud then asked the Stone, “Which part was ridiculous?”
She responded, “That I would have a bilateral [mastectomy]. He was furious.”
Begnaud asked, “Oh, not that the cancer, if it [were] true, might kill you?”
“No, no,” Stone replied.
The Oscar nominee said her husband was upset because she would have to have both of her breasts removed.
“And so the doctor said to him, ‘If I had more patients like her, we’d have more women alive today. You need to sit down.’ And I said, ‘I make the decisions, not you,’” she shared.
Though Stone did not say any names, she was married to her second husband, Phil Bronstein, from 1998 to 2004.
