SHARON Stone has opened up on Harvey Weinstein with claims that the convicted rapist and disgraced Hollywood producer used to physically assault her.
The 66-year-old actress told all during an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast earlier this month.
Sharon shared with host and famed documentary maker Theroux, 53, how vile Weinstein would physically throw her across the room in fits of anger during their time working for TV company Miramax.
Video shows Louis reading from a piece of paper as he asks Stone: “I think you had a deal with Miramax at one point, did you?”
Stone, from Pennsylvania, USA, then confirms over their video call: “Yes, I had a deal with Miramax for quite some time.”
Theroux continues: “And did you have to deal with Harvey Weinstein – and what was your experience there like?”
He pauses as Stone replies: “I had a long time of dealing with Harvey, and I’m really glad that he’s in prison and I think he should stay there with the rest of the people who are like him.”
The camera pans back to a sympathetic Theroux as he listens intently to Stone as she adds: “Harvey’s a pig. Harvey is just a pig.”
Theroux then asks: “Would you have been too powerful for him to attempt to coerce–”
Stone then interrupts Theroux, suggesting: “Molest?”
Theroux continues: “Yeah, molest or coerce you into sex?”
Stone pauses before recalling: “He would say things to me like, ‘You think you’re such a princess, Sharon.’
“As I would unwind him off me and I’d say, ‘Yeah. You know, Harvey, I think I’m the Queen of France. F**k off.’”
“But he was certainly comfortable with throwing me across a room.
“He was physically violent on more than one occasion because he was so angry at me because I wouldn’t do what he wanted me to do.”
Theroux took to social media to share the footage, writing: “I can’t pretend I’m not excited to play host to movie royalty on this episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, with Sharon Stone remotely from her home in Los Angeles for a free-ranging and utterly uncensored chat.
“Please join us to hear Sharon’s blisteringly honest takes on the mediocrity of Hollywood, the producers Robert Evans and Harvey Weinstein […]”
The post received hundreds of likes and dozens of comments as many shared their thoughts on the candid footage.
One person wrote: “Great work, Louis.”

“Another interesting and insightful podcast.”
A third commented: “This was a great interview. What a captivating woman. I loved her performance in Casino. It’s one of my favourite films of all time.”
A fourth added: “What an incredible woman.”
