Joy Behar thinks Sharon Stone revealed director’s name because she ‘craves relevancy’

Joy Behar theorized that Sharon Stone is enjoying her public feud with Billy Baldwin because it made her relevant again.

The “View” co-hosts were discussing Stone’s revelation that producer Robert Evans allegedly asked her to have 𝑠e𝑥 with Baldwin to improve his acting for their 1993 film “Sliver.”

Shortly after Stone name dropped Baldwin and the late Evans, Baldwin fired back and wondered if he “should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon?”

Joy Behar believes Sharon Stone name dropped Billy Baldwin and Robert Evans to get back into the spotlight.ABC/The ViewThe “View” hosts were discussing Baldwin’s response to Stone after Stone claimed the “Sliver” producer asked her to sleep with Baldwin.

“People crave relevancy and that threat that he made, ‘I’m gonna bring out all this dirt about Sharon,’ she must’ve been like, ‘Yeah, bring it out, because I haven’t been in the public eye for awhile, so here it goes!’” Behar, 81, said on Thursday’s episode of “The View.”

“Ego problems with actors? What a concept!” she teased.

Earlier on in the group’s conversation, Behar said the whole situation “doesn’t make sense” because by the producer’s alleged theory, people in the “Godfather” would “have to behead a horse in order to play a mobster.”

The comedian even insinuated that Stone would be into Baldwin’s threat to release the “dirt” he has on her.ABC/The ViewBehar’s other co-hosts also questioned why Stone was “still upset” about the alleged encounter 30 years later.ABC/The View

“It doesn’t make sense! It’s called acting,” Behar quipped.

Behar shared her hot take after some of her co-hosts questioned why Stone, 66, shared the names over 30 years after the film debuted.

“Sharon, are you still upset 30 years later?” Sunny Hostin asked, while also clarifying that Baldwin “lashed out” with his response.

Whoopi Goldberg even seemingly defended Baldwin, because people have been “taking pot shots at him” already for his marriage.ABC/The ViewBaldwin’s relationship with wife, Chynna Phillips, made headlines two months ago when she revealed they were briefly separated while she embarked upon a faith journey.Getty Images

Whoopi Goldberg also wondered why Stone decided to “bring it up anyway” –– especially with Baldwin’s marriage in the spotlight after his wife, Chynna Phillips, announced her “deep dive into Jesus.”

“Maybe he’s just sick of people taking pot shots at him,” Goldberg theorized.

Sara Haines agreed that Stone didn’t have to emphasize how Baldwin, 66, “was the problem” on the film, but his response was still “snarky and reactive.”

However, Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that Baldwin should’ve kept quiet about the allegations in light of the #MeToo movement.

The talk show hosts talked about the entire ordeal after Baldwin issued his response to Stone’s allegations on Tuesday.

“Not sure why Sharon Stone keep [sic] talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?” he wrote on X.

Baldwin even claimed he has “so much dirt on her.”Getty ImagesStone dropped the bombshell earlier this week.Getty Images for Oliver Peoples

Alec Baldwin’s brother further claimed that he has “so much dirt on her it would make her head spin.”

“The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him allow me to choreograph the final 𝑠e𝑥 scene in the photo below so I wouldn’t have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun,” he wrote.

The “Gossip Girl” alum made the social media post just hours after Stone made headlines for revealing that Evans was the producer who suggested she have 𝑠e𝑥 with Baldwin for their movie.

“He’s running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, 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,” Stone said on the “Louis Theroux” podcast Monday.

The “Basic Instinct” actress further claimed that Evans told her it would give the pair better “chemistry on screen” to “save the movie.”

“Now all of a sudden I’m in the ‘I have to f–k people’ business,” she added.

Stone first revealed the alleged incident in her 2021 memoir, but she didn’t divulge Evans or Baldwin’s names.
