Hollywood star Sharon Stone has opened up about her mother’s death, revealing her shocking last words.
The actress, 67, is known for being frank when it comes to interviews, between previously defending disgraced actor Kevin Spacey and brutally shutting down Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls in an awkward exchange last year.
The Basic Instinct star has now spoken of her mother, Dorothy Stone’s, recent death, and her shocking final words that included expletives and harsh criticism of her daughter.
Stone first announced that her mother had died at the age of 91 on Instagram last month.
However, in a frank new interview, she has revealed that Dorothy, or Dot, had actually died ‘a few months’ before that, but only recently found the words to talk about it.
In speaking of Dorothy’s final hours, the 90s icon shared details of her mother’s troubled upbringing amid a cycle of abuse, which led to Stone and her sister also being sexually assaulted by their grandfather.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Stone revealed how her mother had died in March, saying: ‘I was only ready to tell the public about it now because I always get my mad feelings first when people die.’
Those feelings, she says, included ‘a little bit of anger and a little bit of, “I didn’t f*** need you anyway,” you know!’
Of Dorothy, Stone said: ‘My mom wasn’t of a sunny disposition. She was hilarious, but she said terrible things to me. Dot swore like a Portuguese dock worker.’

Stone continued: ‘She said, “I’m going to kick you in the c***’” to me probably 40 times in the last five days. But that was her delirium.
‘And when the last thing your mother says to you before she dies is, “You talk too much, you make me want to commit suicide.
‘And the whole room laughs, you think: “that’s a hard one to go out on, Mom!” But that’s how she was. This lack of ability to find tenderness and peace within herself.’

Stone revealed how her maternal grandfather had abused Dorothy as a child, leading to a terrible fear that her parents would return as she lay dying.
‘She was desperately afraid that when she died, her mother and father would be there,’ Stone told the publication.
‘She didn’t want to die, because she didn’t want to see them, because they were so awful.
‘So I convinced her that I had put them in jail and they were not going to be there. She was in such hell. Nobody comes through this life intact. So why do we pretend that one does?’

Stone described how her grandfather had abused her too, but had ‘got away from him before he was super-sexually abusive.’
‘I was a very savvy kid. I got away with much lighter abuse than other people did,’ said the actress, who currently stars in action sequel Nobody 2.
Stone also detailed her grandfather’s abuse of her family – which also included her younger sister, Kelly – in her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice.
‘She’s refused to read my book, even though she encouraged me to write it, as did my mom, and I dedicated my book to Mom,’ Stone said of the memoir.

The death of Stone’s mother comes two years after losing her younger brother, Joseph Patrick Stone.
In a post to Instagram at the time, Stone shared the sad news, tearfully announcing: ‘Hello everybody. This message is to confirm that yes, we did lose my brother, Patrick Joseph Stone, to a heart attack yesterday.’
This latest tragedy came only one year after the death of Patrick’s son – Stone’s nephew – 11-month-old River.
Stone continued: ‘Yes he is the man who was the father to River, who we lost last year at 11 months old.
‘He is survived by his wife Tasha and his son Hunter and his daughter Kaylee. Like any family, we thank you for your love and support in this time of immeasurable grief and we appreciate all of your condolences.’
The actress spoke of how her family have been through ‘a tremendous amount of loss in these last couple of years as so many of you also have’.
As tears streamed down her face, she added: ‘I thank you very much for the love and support that you’re showing us, and we just ask you to continue to be kind. Thank you.’
