Sharon Stone is naming names — though William Baldwin would beg to differ.

Baldwin lashed out at Stone on social media Tuesday, after the actress said on a recent podcast that the late movie producer Robert Evans tried to convince her to have sex with Baldwin, her costar in the 1993 thriller Sliver, to improve his performance in the film.

"Not sure why Sharon Stone keep [sic] talking about me all these years later?" Baldwin, 61, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?"

He added, "I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I've kept quiet."

Baldwin's post came a day after the latest episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, in which Stone, 66, opened up about the alleged incident with Evans. "[Evans was] running around his office in his sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin," she said. "Because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin's performance would get better. And we needed Billy to get better in the movie, because that was the problem. And if I could sleep with Billy, then we would have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him, then that would save the movie."

Representatives for Stone and Baldwin didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment. (Evans died in 2019.)

Stone previously wrote in her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, that an unnamed producer brought her into his office to suggest she sleep with a male costar so that they'd have more chemistry. "He explained to me why I should f--- my costar so that we could have onscreen chemistry," she wrote. "Why, in his day, he made love to Ava Gardner onscreen and it was so sensational! Now just the creepy thought of him in the same room with Ava Gardner gave me pause."

She went on to write that she was labeled "difficult" after telling the producer off.

In Baldwin's social media post, he also insinuated that a third party witnessed Stone's purported advances toward him. "Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… 'I'm gonna make him fall so hard for me, it's gonna make his head spin.' ???" he wrote.

Representatives for Dickinson didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment. In a statement to the Daily Mail, however, the model and TV personality reportedly said, "As I recall Sharon never said that to me. I am not sure why Billy Baldwin is bringing this up. I adore them both but that never happened."

The View hosts say Sharon Stone 'needlessly shamed' Billy Baldwin with sex claim: 'Why bring it up anyway?'​

"The whole thing doesn't make sense... by that logic, if you were in 'The Godfather,' you'd have to behead a horse in order to play a mobster."

Consider The View ladies less than impressed with the ongoing feud between Sharon Stone and her Sliver costar Billy Baldwin.

The Hot Topics table was on fire during Thursday’s episode as the panelists discussed Stone’s recent appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, where the actress claimed that late movie producer Robert Evans attempted to convince her to have sex with Baldwin in order to improve his performance in the 1993 thriller. In response, Baldwin slammed Stone on social media and floated the idea of writing a book to “tell the many, many disturbing, kinky, and unprofessional tales about Sharon.”

“The whole thing doesn’t make sense,” Joy Behar said of Evans’ plan. “So the guy says, ‘If you sleep with Billy, it’ll make him a better actor,’ but by that logic, if you were in The Godfather, you'd have to behead a horse in order to play a mobster. Doesn’t make sense. It’s called acting!”

Alyssa Farah Griffin added that she believed Stone “needlessly shamed” Baldwin with her remarks, but wasn’t exactly keen on his reaction, either. She continued, “With all the benefit of what we know from #MeToo and dynamics with power, like, having a boss who is encouraging you to sleep with your costar when you don’t want to, if I were his PR team, I would’ve either said either ‘don’t say a word,’ or ‘I’m sorry Sharon went through that.’”

Sara Haines agreed that she considered Baldwin’s remarks to be “snarky and reactive,” but also noted that Stone “literally goes out of her way in this interview” to criticize his career. “There are like six references to how bad he was as an actor,” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘You could’ve made your point with maybe just one.’”

Griffin then appeared to suggest that, perhaps, Baldwin really is just a bad actor. “I’m just saying, Basic Instinct was good because Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone were in it,” she interjected. “This movie [Sliver] kinda bombed.” Behar also chipped in to note that Douglas didn’t have to sleep with Stone in order for the pair to have chemistry in the 1992 film, either.

Whoopi Goldberg, however, wasn't happy with Stone deciding to resurface over 30-year-old drama. “Why bring it up anyway?” She asked, Referring to Baldwin's negative reaction, Goldberg added, “Maybe he’s just tired of people taking pot shots at him.”

“I think so because he really lashed out,” Sunny Hostin agreed. “And I do wonder — this movie, by the way, was in 1993 — it’s like, a long time ago."

“Sunny, people crave relevancy,” Behar declared. “And that threat that he made, I’m gonna bring all this dirt out about you, she must be like, ‘Yeah, bring it out, because I haven’t been in the public eye for a while, so here it goes!’” Haines added that she felt Stone "still needs to let the project go a little."

“Ego problems with actors, what a concept,” Behar dryly quipped as the table began to laugh. The Oscar-winning Goldberg then dramatically pulled down her glasses before teasing, “I don’t know what you mean.”
