Editing Basic Instinct (section)

====Renewed====
Stone has alleged multiple times that a scene in which her [[vulva]] was exposed as she crossed her legs was filmed without her knowledge.<ref name="Basic Instinct 2006">"A Conversation with Sharon Stone" from the ''Basic Instinct'': Ultimate Edition DVD (Lions Gate Home Entertainment, 2006).</ref> She said she was told that her lack of underwear would only be alluded to and not shown.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N3P20iv2uI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/9N3P20iv2uI| archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live| title=Sharon Stone talking about BI| via=YouTube| date=September 12, 2014| access-date=January 30, 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref> She had been wearing white underwear until Verhoeven said it reflected light on the camera lens and asked her to remove it, assuring her that only a shadow would be visible. She said it was not until she saw the film in a screening room with a [[test audience]] that she became aware of the visible nudity, leading her to slap Verhoeven in the face and leave the screening.<ref name="Basic Instinct 2006"/>

In her 2021 memoir, Stone again stated that she was misled by Verhoeven with regard to the circumstance of the filming of the scene, even though she ultimately did not seek an injunction against it.<ref>{{Cite news|first=Toyin |last=Owoseje|title=Sharon Stone says she was misled about explicit scene in 'Basic Instinct'|url=https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/entertainment/sharon-stone-basic-instinct-intl-scli/index.html|access-date=March 20, 2021|agency=CNN|date=March 19, 2021 |archive-date=March 20, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210320023423/https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/entertainment/sharon-stone-basic-instinct-intl-scli/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Verhoeven responded that it was "impossible" and "she knew exactly what we were doing." However, despite having a "radically different" memory about the particular scene, he praised Stone's performance and said they are on good terms.<ref>{{Cite magazine|first=Brent |last=Lang|title='Benedetta' Director Paul Verhoeven on Sex, His Jesus Fascination and Hollywood Puritanism'|url=https://variety.com/2021/film/news/paul-verhoeven-sex-religion-benedetta-basic-instinct-crusade-1235013278/|access-date=July 7, 2021|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=July 7, 2021 }}</ref> In a 1998 ''[[Inside the Actors Studio]]'' interview, Stone said that while she was initially angry, she realized Verhoeven's decision was the right one, saying, "And I thought about it for a few days and I knew in my heart, he was right. I hated that it existed, I hated it more that he stole it from me instead of allowing me to choose. But he was right."<ref>[[Inside the Actors Studio]] interview with Sharon Stone.

In a 1993 ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' interview, [[Jeanne Tripplehorn]] stated that the notorious "brutal, bruising sex" between her and Douglas's character was  somewhat "lighter" when described to her by Verhoeven before shooting.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Ned |last=Zeman|title=Jeanne Tripplehorn in ''The Firm'' |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|url=https://ew.com/article/1993/07/23/jeanne-tripplehorn-firm/|language=en|url-status=live|date=July 23, 1993|access-date=July 2, 2024|archive-date=February 17, 2024|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240217050612/https://ew.com/article/1993/07/23/jeanne-tripplehorn-firm/}}</ref>
