Sharon Stone is making a shocking claim about what ended her marriage.
The 68-year-old Euphoria actress appeared on the Monday (June 1) episode of the Person Who Believe in Me podcast where she reflected on learning she had tumors in her breasts in the early 2000s and how her decision to get a mastectomy led to her marriage ending.
“I had had breast tumors, and one of them was bigger than the size of my entire left breast,” Sharon recalled. “The doctor had come out to my house and said, ‘Look, we think you should have a bilateral mastectomy. This is really bad.’”
She quickly decided to go through with the procedure, which she says her husband didn’t like.
“I am deciding that I will have a bilateral because I’m not f–king around,” Sharon said. “My husband said, ‘This is ridiculous,’ and got up and left the room. … He was furious.”
She continued, “The doctor said to him, ‘If I had more patients like her, we’d have more women alive today. You need to sit down.’ I said, ‘I make the decisions, not you.’ That was the end of the marriage. That was it. He was done with me then, it was over.”
According to Sharon, her husband thought she was “foolish” and “ridiculous” for deciding to remove her breasts.
“He thought I was making too many decisions myself,” she claimed. “I went to the hospital and I told them, ‘We need to work this out.’ I come in at night ‘cause, obviously, the fame was too big a deal. They brought me in at night, they closed everybody’s rooms [and] they brought me in.”
Sharon‘s doctors “took all of everything” from her left breast, as well as “half of the right side.”
“By the time I came to, there were 10 [or] 12 people around my bed. I open my eyes and looked up and said, ‘What is going on?’” she recalled of her recovery. “They went, ‘You don’t have cancer,’ and I said, ‘I know.’”
While she didn’t name which husband took issue with her having a mastectomy, Sharon was first married to Michael Greenburg from 1984 to 1990 before being married to Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2004.
Last year, Sharon made a very rare red carpet appearance with all three of her sons!
