In her recent conversation with CNN’s Chris Wallace, Stone revealed some surprising details about how her life changed in the wake of the film’s release.

The Infamous Interrogation Scene
The infamous interrogation scene, where Stone exposed herself on camera, became an iconic moment in cinematic history.
The shock value and audacity of this scene certainly contributed to Stone’s sudden fame, but it also brought about some unexpected consequences.
A Life Forever Altered
Wallace aptly notes that the scene and film changed Stone’s life forever.
The extent of this change became evident as Stone described her experience in the week following the release of “Basic Instinct.”

She recalls people literally leaping at her on the streets of Los Angeles, and even dogpiling her car at stoplights.
The situation became so overwhelming that Stone found herself unsure if she should continue to drive.
Mixed Feelings and Controversy
Though the film brought her fame, Stone has publicly expressed mixed feelings about “Basic Instinct.”
She has claimed to have felt duped into the exposure scene, having allegedly been reassured that nothing would be visible.
This controversy adds a complex layer to her relationship with the film and her performance as Catherine Tramell.
