Sharon Stone's harsh statements about the consequences of the stroke she suffered
One of the oldest actresses in the industry as she is Sharon Stone looks back after suffering a stroke in 2001 when she was 43 years old. Already completely recovered, the actress wanted to reflect on the great change that she gave her life and the harsh consequences that this disease brought on her.
Hollywood actress Sharon Stone, famous for her role as
the lead in 'Basic Instinct', has publicly disclosed how she changed her
life after the stroke she suffered 18 years ago. That experience marked a
before and after of her existence and since then the actress actively
collaborates as President of the amfAR Global Campaign, assuming the role of
defender of brain aging diseases.
The 61-year-old Stone has gone out of his way to publicize
brain diseases that appear with time and age that affect women more than
men. The interpreter acknowledges that she suffered insurmountable losses
both professionally and personally, referring to her fight with her
ex-husband Phil Bronstein for custody of her adopted son Roan de Ella, who
He ended up losing it in 2008.
She has been during Wednesday's gala on mental health held in
Los Angeles where she claims to have survived "miraculously". "That's why I
do it: my mother had a stroke. My grandmother had a stroke. I had a massive
stroke, and a brain hemorrhage for nine days," said the actress.
During her recovery process, she had to deal with serious
problems such as regaining speech, walking, and even regaining vision loss.
In addition to making it clear that she does not have a good experience of
what happened, she has assured the bad attitude of those around her, during
an interview for the magazine 'Variety'. "People treated me in a way that
was brutally cruel. From other women in my own business to the judge who
handled my custody case, I don't think anyone understands how dangerous a
stroke is for women and what it takes to recover; it took me about seven
years.
In the same interview, Sharon wanted to send a message: "If you
have a very bad headache, you should go to the hospital. I didn't get to the
hospital until the third or fourth day of my stroke. Most people die. I had
a 1 % probability of living when they operated on me".
Lastly, Stone wanted to show his enormous support and thanks to
Bernard Arnault, the owner of LVMH luxury goods. "He bailed me out, giving
me a contract with Dior." And it is that the actress went through a very bad
moment professionally after the stroke: "I had to remortgage my house. I
lost everything I had, my place in the industry."
