Sharon Stone has an epic response to an ex-partner who dumped her because she refused to get Botox
Hollywood icon Sharon Stone opened up about her experiences of aging in a recent interview with Vogue Arabia.
Undergoing beauty enhancement treatments is very common among Hollywood stars but 64-year-old Stone has decided to embrace her body the way it is, ignoring any pressure to look a certain way. And the superstar walks the talk. Recalling a recent incident about the challenges she has to face with aging-related questions, Stone shared that an ex-partner dumped her because she refused to have Botox. When she was in a relationship with a younger man, he asked her if she uses Botox. To which Stone responded, “It would probably be really good for your ego and mine if I did.” Their relationship ended after this incident. Stone disclosed that she saw him just one more time after this and he wasn’t interested in seeing her anymore. “If you don’t see me for more than that, you’ll please find your way to the exit,” Stone shared.
The actor shares that she feels like “this is the most exciting and creative period of my life.” Though Stone has previously undergone aesthetic procedures, she stopped after suffering a stroke and a nine-day brain hemorrhage in 2001. “I was in an ICU for nine days and the survival rate for what I went through is very low. I don’t need someone to make me feel bad about growing older,” she said in a 2014 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“There were periods in the super fame when I got Botox and filler and stuff, and then I had this massive stroke and a nine-day brain hemorrhage and I had to have over 300 shots of Botox and filler to make the one side of my face come up again,” she said. The hospitalization and stroke changed the way the actor looks at cosmetic surgery, and the Botox became something from a “cute luxury to some kind of massive, painful neurological need” in her eyes. Stone said, “I feel really, really happy. I’ve never been this joyful.”
