Sharon Stone has revealed she was violently attacked in her own home 10 years ago and though she reported the incident she never pressed charges.
The Hollywood icon was ‘hit from behind’ and ‘didn’t really know’ the extent of the damage to her body until a decade later.
The 68-year-old actress has recalled the horrifying assault by an unnamed perpetrator, and it was ‘years later’ when a doctor found evidence of a ‘felony’ during a medical exam.
Speaking on The Person Who Believed In Me podcast, Sharon said: ‘I don’t know how much I can tell about this. I was hit from behind.
‘I didn’t really know until 10 years later what had happened to me because I woke up. I was unconscious on the floor. The two couches were sideways. The coffee table was all over the place.

Stone added, ‘It was sort of upside down. Everything that had been on the coffee table was all over the floor and I didn’t know how I got there.’
It was a decade later when she visited a doctor that she realized how serious the attack was.
She explained: ‘I went to a clinic because I was having a lot of problems with the back of my neck and my shoulders were so sore and I went to a neck and spine clinic in Marina Del Rey and they had given me propofol and they’d done a lot of X-rays of my front and back and all this stuff.
‘They were going to do some kind of injections into what they thought was arthritis in my neck and shoulders, and they had done all these preliminary x-rays of my thoracic rib cage and my neck and my shoulders and my spine and the doctor came in and he’s like, “We’re not going to be able to do this surgery.”
‘I was like, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” And he’s like, “Your thoracic rib cage is all fractured and scarred back together. It’s clear that you were attacked and that what happened to you was a felony.”‘
The thoracic rib cage is a bony, cartilaginous structure that encloses the chest cavity. It consists of the sternum, 12 pairs of ribs, and 12 thoracic vertebrae, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Although the podcast host and CBS correspondent David Begnaud asked who attacked Stone, she refused to reveal the name ‘publicly.’

She responded: ‘I am not going to say publicly, but I am going to say that we did report and we did do everything.’
Meanwhile, she noted that despite having ‘the opportunity to press charges,’ she decided against it ‘because it had been a decade and because I’m a public figure.’
The Basic Instinct actress added that despite believing she had enough ‘circumstantial evidence to make a case’ she also ‘did not want that to be my legacy’.
When asked if she believed the incident was domestic violence, Sharon replied: ‘I’m not at liberty to say.’
She was married to Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2004. Together they adopted son Roan, 26; Stone later adopted Laird, 21, and Quinn, 19, as a single mother.
Ten years ago she was dating actor David DeLuise, whom she reportedly had a romance with from 2014 to 2016.
