Sharon Stone felt “broken” after losing custody of her son

Posted: January 21, 2012

Sharon Stone was considered to be one of the sexiest women in Hollywood in her prime, but the actress admitted in a recent interview that she felt anything but sexy after suffering a brain hemorrhage over ten years ago.

“My brain was pushed forward into my face. I’d lost 18 percent of my body mass,” Stone told AARP. “I came out of the hospital with short- and long-term memory loss. My lower left leg was numb. I couldn’t hear out of my right ear. The side of my face was falling down. I thought, ‘I’ll never be pretty again. Who’s going to want to be around me?’”

Sadly, things continued to get worse for Stone. Two years after suffering a brain hemorrhage, Phil Bronstein, her husband, filed for divorce. The two had an adopted son, Roan, and after the actress moved back to Los Angeles, Bronstein was eventually awarded custody of Roan. But despite all of Stone’s hardships–despite feeling broken–she pushed onwards.

“I had had a brain hemorrhage and was an actress who had made sexy movies,” she said. “I would go to these [philanthropic] events where I had to get on stage. I would be in the wings, with people looking at me, my head on the floor, praying: ‘God, please help me. I know I have to go out there and raise money. But I’ve lost my child, I’ve lost my health, I’ve lost everything.’ I was just broken.”

Now, things are looking up for the 53-year-old actress. While staying in Los Angeles, the actress adopted two sons, who are now 5 and 6. The actress explained that, after suffering two miscarriages, she knew that adoption was right for her.

“The last time I lost the baby, I went into 36 hours of labour. While we were at the hospital, our adoption attorney called. I thought, ‘This is such a godsend. This is so right.’  I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.”

    When she became sick her husband filled for divorce, what kind of a man he is, and if people don't want to be around her because she is sick or not pretty as before why she want them to be around her,. She is a great actress and I hope she will feel better and be ok.

    Still looks beautiful to me! It's what is in her heart that matters, and after all this, she still adopts two children, her heart must be made of gold. God never gives us more than we can endure, and Rewards us in our hardships! She is blest, no doubt about it!

    The article doesn't say whether she is well again or not, but I am thinking she must be if she was allowed to adopt two boys.

    Sharon Stone is the bomb still! At 53 (I am 52). She is great for adopting the children. A role model and for overcoming the health issues. She still looks great!

    she still looks fabulous and is a great actress. anyone should be proud to take stage next to her. she is a hollywood icon and should be looked up to…not down on because of health issues. I applaud her courage for pushing forward and doing things that others would have just abandoned. good for you sharon stone!
