However, during an appearance on Louis Theroux's podcast, Stone disclosed that the unsettling episode occurred during the production of the 1993 film "Sliver," where she co-starred with Billy Baldwin.This revelation came after the success of "Basic Instinct," a period when expectations for another blockbuster were high.

Stone explained: "They expected me to bring home another giant smash hit and they gave me casting approval and they gave me all these approvals, but then when it came time for me to do it they told me it was a vanity deal and I couldn't have my approvals."
Recalling the uncomfortable meeting, Stone said: "He called me to his office.""He had these very low seventies, eighties couches, so I'm essentially sitting on the floor, when I should have been on set."

During this encounter, Evans suggested that Stone should sleep with Baldwin to enhance his performance in the film.
"And if I could sleep with Billy then we'd have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie, and the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f**k him and get things back on track. The real problem was I was such a tight a**e."
