Actress Sharon Stone unleashed on ‘arrogant adolescent’ America during a long-winded rant that saw her call US voters ‘uneducated’ and ‘ignorant.’
The 66-year-old delivered her salty remarks at a press event during the Torino Film Festival in Turin, Italy sharing the blistering critique in response to the recent presidential election.
Stone said her fellow Americans elected Donald Trump because they are ‘uneducated’ and don’t travel enough.
‘My country is in the midst of adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything,’ the Basic Instinct actress said.
‘Adolescence is naïve 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 percent don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete,’ she continued.
Stone compared Italy’s long history with America’s before saying Italy has ‘seen fascism,’ ‘seen what happens’ under a fascist government and that the ‘only way that we can help with these issues, is to help each other.’
The actresses added that ‘helping each other’ requires recognizing ‘good men’:
‘Good men, must help good men,’ she said. ‘And those men must be very aware that a lot of your friends are not good men.

Stone’s shocking rants comes after the millionaire actress pledged earlier this year that she would leave America for a new life in Europe if Trump won the election
‘You must be very clear-minded and understand that your friends who are not good men are dangerous, violent men, and you have to keep them away from your daughters and your wives and your girlfriends.
‘This is a time we can no longer look away when bad men are bad,’ she concluded.
Her scathing, nearly three-minute rant, clearly aimed at the incoming president, garnered a fierce reaction from users online, with some calling the celebrity an out-of-touch elistist.
One user on ‘X,’ formerly Twitter slammed Stoney: ‘Hollywood elite are out of touch and have become irrelevant.’
‘You couldn’t script an entitled Hollywood celebrity better than this. Hilarious,’ another chimed in.
‘I guess she hasn’t heard. We don’t give a rats a** about Hollywood anymore, esp an irrelevant has been,’ another user added
Another noted that her attitude ‘is exactly why Americans voted for Trump – he stood up for everyday people ignored by these self-proclaimed experts.’
Stone’s statements comes after the millionaire actress pledged earlier this year that she would leave America for a new life in Europe if Trump won the election.
She said in July that she is thinking of buying a house in Italy if Trump was re-elected, saying: ‘I am certainly considering a house in Italy. I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time.’
She added: ‘This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.’
