In “Basic Instinct,” Sharon Stone showed that she had the brains, beauty and panty-free panache to get an interrogation room full of men interested in getting to know her better.
But maybe being a high-profile screen goddess means that Stone moves in such exalted circles that her dating pool has become seriously limited.
In any case, the 61-year-old Golden Globe winner has begun looking for romantic prospects on Bumble, the popular female-driven dating site. She made this big reveal by going on Twitter Sunday to complain that her account had been blocked after some users reported that it must be fake.
Yes, go figure: Some people had a hard time believing that Sharon Stone of all people would need to find dates online.
“I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account,” Stone wrote. “Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me! Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary ? Don’t shut me out of the hive.”
Fortunately, hours after Stone called out the dating site, Bumble responded and announced it had restored her account.
“There can only be one 👑 Stone,” the company wrote on Twitter. “Looks like our users thought you were too good to be true. We’ve made sure that you won’t be blocked again. We hope that everyone in our community takes a sec to verify their profiles.”
The company then referenced her “Basic Instinct” character by saying, “(Catherine Tramell from Basic Instinct gets a pass today!)”
