Sharon Stone says former Sony exec sexually harassed her and 'took his penis' out in '80s meeting

"I started laughing and crying at the same time, and I couldn't stop because I became hysterical," the Oscar-nominated actress said.

Sharon Stone is speaking out on her experiences with sexual harassment in Hollywood once again.

During a recent appearance on Kelly Ripa's Let's Talk Off Camera podcast, the Oscar-nominated actress said that the first time she faced harassment in the film industry was during a meeting with a former "head of Sony" in the 1980s, more than a decade before she made a name for herself with movies like Basic Instinct and Casino. Stone said the executive, whom she did not name, exposed his penis to her while she was in his office.

"I went to his office and it was back in the '80s, so the couch was basically on the floor," recalled Stone, 65. "It was those very low giant couches and my knees were around my neck, and of course, I'm so tall anyway so I look like all legs sitting there akimbo on the couch, and he is pacing around the office."

According to Stone, the Sony exec told her, "It's true what they say about you," and, "You're the most gorgeous. We haven't seen anyone like you in decades. Everybody's talking about you. Look at you."

Then, Stone said, "he came walking right up in front of me and he said, 'But first,' and he took his penis right out in my face. Of course, I was very young and what I do when I'm nervous, because I'm basically a very bubbly person, I started laughing. I started laughing and crying at the same time, and I couldn't stop because I became hysterical. I couldn't stop, so he didn't know what to do. He put it away and he went through this door behind his desk, which I thought was that he left, so I didn't know what to do. I was just sitting there hysterical and eventually his secretary came and led me out. This was not the last of many weird experiences like this in my career."

Representatives for Sony Pictures didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment Wednesday.

Stone, who has been outspoken about her experiences with harassment and exploitation in Hollywood since the rise of the #MeToo movement, also told Ripa that she will always accept apologies from any man who mistreated her in the past. But for anyone who hasn't apologized? Don't come near her.

"Don't ever sit next to me again, ever," she said. "Because if you sit next to me again, I'm gonna stand up in public and say, 'I said don't sit next to me,' so believe me. I've gone to screenings where the only seat left was an empty one next to me and I've had men sit on the stairs in the aisle because they know, don't sit next to me if you're a 'Me Too' that 'Me Too-ed' me. Don't sit in that empty chair next to me unless you're going to say sorry."
