Sharon Stone Uses Acceptance Speech To Call Out Rude ‘Kids’ At The Ceremony: ‘F**k You!’

Sharon Stone doesn’t need an ice pick to murder … someone’s ego.

The “Basic Instinct” star got revenge with some tablemates at the Astra Awards last week after they apparently didn’t recognize her and accused Stone of stealing her seat.

According to footage uploaded to YouTube, Stone used her acceptance speech to call them out.

“And to the kids at my table who wondered, ‘Who the fuck took that chair?’ Now you know,” the “Casino” star said at the top of her speech.

“Yeah, someone came over and said, ‘Who are you and why are you sitting here?’” Stone added.

In response, the audience gasped as Stone appeared incredulous.

“As she said, ‘Fuck you!’” Stone retorted.

The Emmy-winning actor did not name who these tablemates were. HuffPost has reached out to Stone and Astra Awards for more information.

Stone then went on to urge her tablemates to channel their status as public figures into something more positive.

“More importantly, and more to the point, I’d like to say welcome to you. And I’d like to say, this is an opportunity. … Because I started my activism work when my fame kicked in. And I’d like to give you an opportunity to start your activism work now that your consciousness has kicked in,” Stone said.

“Because fame without awareness, success without purpose, is pointless,” Stone said.

Stone has been a very dedicated advocate for AIDS research, and has been involved with amfAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research) for decades.

The “Sliver” star went on to give a sprawling nearly 10-minute speech, in which she covered her childhood, career and what it means to her to be a “decent” person.

But, she sure didn’t forget about the diss she got earlier in the night, and circled back to tablemates at the end of her speech.

Stone told the audience to “carry home someone you’re proud of, and you, too, will be timeless, whether the people at your table know who you are or not.”

“Here’s what I’m going to tell you,” Stone concluded, while pointing at her table. “You know who I am now.”

In 2024, Stone opened up to “Good Morning Britain” about her career fizzling out after taking a hiatus from Hollywood following a stroke and subsequent brain hemorrhage that almost killed her in 2001.

“I was sort of hurt that the world moved on without me,” she said, while also admitting she has “kind of gotten over it” by now.

But if her speech last week was any indication, she may still feel some of that sting.
