Quitting Hollywood: Sharon Stone Reveals Radical Plan to Move to Europe if Trump is Elected – ‘Outright Platform of Hate’
July 21 2024, Published 11:15 a.m. ET
Sharon Stone is planning to flee the US and set up home in Italy if Donald Trump seizes power again – as it’s the first time in her life she’s seen a presidential candidate run on a “platform of hate”.
RadarOnline.com today reveals the Basic Instinct actress, 66, is so worried about the state of the White House race she is already seriously considering buying a place in Europe.
She said at the Taormina Film Festival: “I am deeply concerned with what’s happening in my country. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for an office on a platform of hate and oppression.
“I would like to believe that my country has all of the qualities that we have always stood for — independence, courage, dignity — and that all of the other countries that we have stood for will stand by us as we go through this concerning time.”
Stone added she thought buying a home in Italy was “an intelligent” move as Trump, 78, enjoys a surge in popularity after last week surviving an assassination attempt.
When a reporter asked her if the plan to move was politically motivated, the actress said: “Naturally.”
Her plan comes as Trump is polling three points ahead of President Joe Biden in the national average.
Trump was shot in the ear on July 13 by loner gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, who targeted him with an AR-15 rifle while splayed on a rooftop 130 yards from the ex-president as he fronted a packed MAGA rally in Pennsylvania.
His barrage of bullets killed a rally goer and two others were severly wound.
Stone also said at the film festival: "Thank God I’m not a politician."
