Hollywood actress Sharon Stone recently spoke on a podcast, Table for Two, about losing custody of her son after her divorce from Phil Bronstein. She claimed that judicial bias was the reason behind the custody loss. Stone and Bronstein adopted their son, Roan, who was four years old when they separated. According to Stone, during the custody hearing, the presiding judge asked the Basic Instinct star's son if he knew his mother made "sex movies." The actress expressed her dismay over the system's abuse and how she was judged as a parent based on her acting career. “People are walking around with no clothes on at all on regular TV now and you saw maybe like a 16th of a second of possible nudity of me – and I lost custody of my child. Are you kidding?" she said.
