Sharon Stone said America is in its “adolescence” phase following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, labeling Americans both “ignorant and arrogant.” Speaking at a press conference at the Torino Film Festival in Turin, Italy, the 66-year-old actress was asked about violence against women, and made a less-than-subtle remark at those who voted for Trump, whom the Left labeled a “fascist” during the 2024 election. “This question about the question of violence against women is– is a big one. And I think we have to really stop and think about things,” Stone said. “And we have to stop and think about who we choose for government. And if, in fact, we are actually choosing our government or if the government is choosing itself.” “You know, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things,” she added. “You guys. You understand what happens. … My country is in its adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant.” “Adolescence thinks it knows everything,” the actress continued. “Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence. We haven’t seen this before in our country. So Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naïveté.” Later at another press conference, Alec Baldwin was asked about the “Basic Instinct” star’s comments and appeared to double-down on labeling Americans “uninformed,” as previously reported. “Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money,” Baldwin said during his speech, per The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s a hole, there’s a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans. Americans are very uninformed about reality, what’s really going on — climate change, Ukraine, Israel — you name it. The biggest topics in the world, Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information.” “That vacuum is filled by the film industry. Not just the independent film industry, not just the documentary film industry … but by narrative films as well,” he added, before reacting to the incoming Trump administration, without mentioning the president-elect by name. “There are many challenges to face,” the actor said. “The environment, the problem of plastic, of permafrost: There are plastic molecules in every corner of the planet. These are the real problems to solve.”
