Brad Pitt was behind Sharon Stone, Billy Baldwin’s ‘Basic Instinct’ scandal

Brad Pitt was reportedly the reason behind Sharon Stone and William “Billy” Baldwin’s feud during their time filming Basic Instinct.

The revelation, made by the movie’s director, Philip Noyce, follows Stone’s claim that late producer Robert Evans asked her to sleep with Baldwin.

“The two were not at all happy opposite each other. Sharon had always wanted Brad Pitt to play opposite her, so she was disappointed,” Noyce revealed.

He continued, “I think she was genuinely regretful even though she’d taken the role. She was not at all happy about the movie. There was such a great deal of animosity on set. Sharon’s open disdain for Billy resulted in him feeling extremely insecure.”

Previously, Stone claimed that she was coerced into a love scene with Baldwin.

“He suggested that I slept with Billy Baldwin, his performance would get better, and we needed Billy to get better in the movie because he was the problem,” she said on the Louis Theroux podcast.

Baldwin clapped back, “Not sure why Sharon Stone keeps talking about me all these years later? Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about her? That might be fun.”
