Sharon Stone Slams U.S. Politics and Calls for Men to Confront Violence Against Women

Sharon Stone recently shared strong opinions on American politics and violence against women during a panel at the Torino Film Festival in Italy. The 66-year-old actress, known for her outspoken views, criticized the state of U.S. politics while reflecting on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Stone, a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race, made pointed remarks about the direction of the country. “We have to stop and think about who we choose for government,” she said, subtly referencing President-elect Trump. She expressed concern about whether the American public truly has a say in their government or if it is being controlled from within.

Drawing from Italy's history with fascism, Stone warned that the U.S. is currently in a phase of “ignorant, arrogant adolescence.” She pointed out that many Americans, who she claimed are largely untraveled and uneducated, fail to see the bigger picture, likening the country’s current state to that of an adolescent with little understanding of the world.

In her acceptance speech for the Stella della Mole lifetime achievement award, Stone emphasized that solving issues of violence against women requires broader efforts, not just from women supporting women, but from all people. “Good men must help good men,” she insisted, urging men to confront their friends who exhibit harmful behavior. She called for men to protect women by distancing themselves from those who are violent or dangerous.

Stone also made a stark statement on the role of men in violence, quoting a comedian who remarked that “the No. 1 killer for women is men.” She stressed that it's crucial for society to acknowledge this reality and take action to protect women.

Her remarks highlighted a clear message: it’s time for change, and people must no longer ignore the harmful behaviors that continue to affect society, especially women.

Conor McGregor Found Liable for Assault in Civil Case, Plans to Appeal

Conor McGregor plans to appeal the verdict in his recent civil rape case, following a jury's decision on Friday that found him liable for assault. Speaking to TMZ Sports, the UFC superstar expressed disappointment with the ruling, stating, "The judge's instruction and the modest award given was for assault, there was not an award for aggravated or exemplary damages. I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed." McGregor added that he remains focused on his family and future. The case, which has been ongoing throughout November, stemmed from allegations made by Nikita Ni Lamhain, also known as Nikita Hand. She claimed that McGregor and another man, James Lawrence, sexually assaulted her after a Christmas party in 2018. According to Ni Lamhain, McGregor invited her and a friend to a nearby hotel, where the assault allegedly occurred in a penthouse suite. McGregor, 36, has consistently denied the allegations, maintaining that the

In documents obtained by In Touch, Shia claims that FKA is manipulating the legal process, asking a judge to intervene in their case.
