Paul Verhoeven has denied being slapped by Sharon Stone over the infamous leg uncrossing scene in Basic Instinct.
When Verhoeven told the woman that she was exposing herself, she allegedly replied: “Of course – that’s why I’m doing it!”
It’s raining, and Sharon says to Michael, ‘You know I don’t like to wear any underwear, don’t you, Nick?’
The scene saw Stone’s character uncross her legs during a police interrogation scene and reveal to a group of officers that she is not wearing underpants.
