has admitted she lost £14million in savings recovering from a near-fatal stroke. The Basic Instinct star revealed that she had lost the fortune whilst she was in recovery from the debilitating illness that nearly killed her. However, she added that part of the money disappeared due to people close to her were "taking advantage".
Speaking to in an interview released on Tuesday (July 9), Sharon, 66, revealed that she was unable to work due to the severity of the stroke. This caused her to lose a total of $18million (£14m) over two decades, as she tried to get back to normal. When asked how long it was before she felt a semblance of normality, Stone admitted it took her seven years to mostly recover.
She went into detail that she had suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage that nearly killed her in 2001. "I bled into my brain for nine days, so my brain was shoved to the front of my face," she explained in the interview. "It wasn't positioned in my head where it was before.
" She continued: "My sense of smell, my sight my touch; I couldn't read for a couple of years. Things were stretched and I was seeing colour patterns; a lot people thought I was going to die." However, she went on to say that while she remained woozy for years and unable to get back to her normal life, her funds had been mismanaged by those around her.
As she fought to regain some of her basic functions like reading, others stepped in and took control of her life. "People took advantage of me over that time," Sha.
