Stoned!
Filed under: Legal Matters > Sharon Stone
We're all up for a good laugh, but this one is just a bit too ridiculous.
Sharon Stone was just recently served with legal papers demanding $1 billion!
The suit comes from more than 1,000 Chinese earthquake victims and a New York attorney.
The documents announce attorney Ming Hai's intention to sue Stone for "harming Chinese people when she suggested the catastrophic quake last May was "karma" for the regime's occupation of Tibet."
WTF?!?
Ok, Hai is just a bit out of it. We understand no-named attorneys trying to get publicity by suing a celebrity, but this is just stoopid.
Hai wrote, "For the families who have lost their loved ones or lost limbs or suffered severe injuries, your … statement and act has caused extreme emotional distress."
Yea, and what's going to happen with the money? Is Hai going to go to China and distribute it all?
Puh-lease.
Stone's apologized several times already. Who can blame her? She's just an idiot.
Her original remarks were "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma — when you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"
Time to get over it. She mispoke. She's apologized several times. She's been banned from China's International Film Festival in Shanghai, she was dropped from Dior's ads.
And now you want her to pay up?
What do U think?
Publicity stunt from the attorney, or should Sharon really be forced to pay?

If we're going to allow lawsuits or threats of lawsuits to run the world well some pretty big players will be in for one, the us gov for telling us that gay people got aids due to karma, maybe Nancy Reagen and the Bush families can pay money to all the people who lost family members and friends and continue to, for their pain and suffering! Is China prepared for the Aids pandemic when it hits their country? They might want Sharon Stone in their corner.
I guess Sharon should know governments don't apologize or even make an effort to correct mistakes.
Re: yousu –
Fuck you stupid chink! Everyone knows asians are money hungry sluts. Thats why you see young asian girls with old white guys, they're fucking gold diggers! they'll do anything for money.
asians suck and deserved it.
Hell no not a dime china is lame anyway
This lawsuit has no grounds whatsoever. So someone says something stupid, big deal. Even if she wouldn't have apologised for the comment it still doesn't call for damages being payed.
omfg!!!!
she sed somethin stupid get the fuck over it
u cnt make her pay a billion dollors 4 talkin wtf happened 2 freedom of speech??
Fuck that shit, i would give a dime to any of those people claiming emotional distress. The emotion isn't coming from the stupid comment its coming from lets see oh maybe the earthquake that happened, and the family they lost or who were severly injured! We Americans are not the stupid nor naive! well most of us…
Every time you buy something at Wal-Fart you do just a little bit more to destroy America. It's only a matter of time before we're all speaking CHINGCHONG!!!!!
Wow, this lawsuit is so ridiculous! It's called "freedom of speech," something we are entitled to in America! You can't sue someone over an opinion…..this lawsuit is a joke, right?! I mean, come on……………
karma is a bitch eh sharon .
taste of her own medicine and all that .
Re: ghost –
LeonA'$ GHO$t, yep, back and BETTER THAN EVER, biyatches!!! sez…
.
.
First off, watch it with the name, sugar!
.
.
Secondly, not to mention a well hung chingchong is 3 inches fully erect! Who can blame the whores for wanting a black or white weenie?
they should go have a chat with Dr. Evil then…haha 1 billion dollars..
This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. It isn't like she was the only person that has ever said anything like that, and it certainly isn't like she created the earthquake. This guy is hella dumb and is gonna get laughed out of court
Re: ghost – Isn't this called "RACISM", buddy? Can I call you "White trash" or "Stupid Cracker"? Can I call black people "Ni****s"? Is all that okay? Because, CLEARLY, you care nothing for sensitivity towards other's ethnicities. Don't be angry because all those (what did you call them? "Asian chinks" and "gold diggers"?) Asians that you're complaining about scored higher on the ACT and the SAT than you. And that's not racism… it's a fact. Eat it.
To everyone else: Get over yourselves. These "Celebrities" (although, why Sharon stone is still considered a "Celebrity" baffles me. What has she done in the past 10 years to earn that title?!) think that they can say whatever the hell they want and that it'll all be okay if they "Apologize" for it. Sharon Stone was WAY out of line even hinting that Karma was involved. Hai was probably just doing this to get her attention and let her know that she wouldn't get away that easily. Teach her a lesson, even if it means you don't actually sue her or get money from her… I agree, they have little to go on (legally), but at least they got her sweating and nervous. Say that it was Karma again, Stone, I dare you.
She has the right to say whatever so wants without being legally punished. Her statement did not harm the Chinese victims. It just pissed them off. You cannot just go around sueing everyone who makes you mad. She is an American, and unlike the oppressed, Communist Chinese, she has the freedom of speech.
I do not blame Dior for dropping her from the ads because you cannot bite the hand that feeds you. This hand being Chinese consumers. Any other form of punishment,however, would be ridiculous.
This is just silly…Mrs. Stone said what she said!!! And to be honest I totally agree with her; people need to be nicer to others.
She shouldn't have to pay a dine!!!!! Give up nothing Sharon, she alreay apologized what else? her kid?, her right arm? screw them……
Re: Meg –
First of all Meg, Perez has been spelling stupid "stoopid" for quite some time now. Open your eyes!!!
Secondly, regarding Sharon Stone. Free speech maybe?!? There is no way in hell a court of law will rule that she is guilty here. What aree damages se caused?!? That would just open the book for a civil lawsuit against pretty much anyone.
Re: uhman – Your post makes the most sense and if anyone else had any (sense) they'd "get it". Very well said!
THIS IS STUPID. IT IS TRUE! WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH? THE CHINESE CAN BE HORRIBLE PEOPLE-RACIST! how about learn to drive then talk shit
ok…about the STOOPIDEST THING IVE EVER HEARD…and yes i know how to spell stupid just incase some of you are a little slow on sarcasim…this is worse than that brat who wants to sue her teacher because she called her ugly…GET THE FUCK OVER ALL OF THIS….GROW THE FUCK UP….IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT SOMEONE HAS TO SAY
What's funny is she's wearing the exact dress I wore to prom, only mine was black.
I would know that little snake pendent anywhere.
you mean that she was not nice with the Chinese, so something bad happened to her?
(like losing her Dior job)
Uuummm….NO, she should NOT be forced to pay up for the comment she made. She said it, she apologized, she's had consequences. Period. End of story. If everyone (including myself) had to pay a fine for every stupid thing they said, we would ALL be broke! My God, Elizabeth Hassel-bitch would be homeless living in a cardboard box on the streets - OH, how I wish, that would be awesome - I HATE that retard!!
I say punish China by having Sharon flash them the gash…that will learn em to mess with us!
ISN'T CHINA TELLING IT'S BAR OWNERS NOT TO SERVE BLACKS DURING THE OLYMPICS? YEH, AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEIR POOR LITTLE FEELINS' ……NOT!!! THE CHINESE ARE RACISTS!!!
I say its another case of people wanting free money
Actually, they should be slapped with a malicious prosecution suit. Utter bullshit. And yes, Sharon is an idiot. I hope she countersues. She'd win.
U know what kills me is that, being in a communist county u don't even have the rights to have more that 2 children but they know to sue in a domocratic way…. Go figure!!!
such a bogus suit! you'd have to prove that what she said is false and caused harm. no one can prove karma one way or the other.
ha-ha! this is overkill. chinese people are pretty interesting!
well she is fucking right.
china really proves itself as a fucked up communist country when they spend more money on banning black people from the olympics than they do on their own people. way to go america for going to a communist country that supresses another country for the olympics.
I hope there are riots out of the ying yang.
And I wish Tibet the best.
ummmm you would think in such a tragedy the last thing to cause emotional distress would be what some american celebrity said. they need to get their priorities straight.
Re: China –
wow you are a fucking idiot. tibet is NOT part of china. Its its own country. Well it was, until china invaded it and took it.
So you are telling me the dali llama is a bad person too? They outed him because he spoke his mind and knew the truth. You need to go google yourself some things before you comment on something you know NOTHING about
i stand eith the chinese people on this one she is nothing but a f king c unt who should lose everything including her children that are not even hers. she is so dumb she can't even produce children she deserves to eat SHIT DROP DEAD BITCH
um no it's called freedom of FUCKING speech!! she just needs to tell them to eff off now
Re: FUCKE –
I can't believe the Chinoiseeseez are even allowed to get their drink on! What goes with dog, anyway?
What a f-uped joke.
HEY, WE HAVE *** F R E E S P E E C H *** Even stupid speech is allowed here. It's called an OPINION. Look it up.
Never mind the Tibet issue, isn't this a country that also forbids and even kills people from enjoying whatever religion they want (falun gong) and whose citizens even drown baby girls sometimes? Yet someone there thinks that Sharon Stone deserves to pay 1 billion $ for a dumb comment? C R A Z Y.
I'm glad the Olympics are happening there, maybe it will help widen minds a little more.
People should be able to say what ever they want. If every person was sued for what they SAID we'd all be broke. Sharon and every one else should be able to say what they want. She said that comment as a emotional response. She obviously cares about the chinese people and meant that statement toward the Government, though it was mis-interpreted. No WAY should some one be allowed to sue her. What personal harm has that done to any one? If your emotions are affected by some distant celebrity's off hand remarks, all the way over in China, then that's your problem.
That is ridiculous. We have our first ammendment and they have their communist government. People in this country can say whatever they please.
Re: a.j.b – Golly, rejected by all the pretty girls in high school, or what? This applies way more if you're a chick, too!
OMFG! That is fucking TERRIFYING! There goes freedom of speech.
For once, Sharon might be on to something. Karma's a bitch, but maybe what came around shouldn't have been that… extreme.
fuckin cunts. what about the physical and emotional distress that China puts Tibet through? Assholes
Another attack on our 1st amendment right.
If she made that statement in the USofA then she is all set…in this country we have something called freedom of speech. If she had made that comment in China then that is another story. Luckily for her butt she was on American soil. Remember Oprah and her comment about beef some years back….same thing!
wow, from reading some of the comments..
i have concluded that most of them are lacking in education and intelligence.
i am however, have enhanced my intelligence through education in the USA and will discontinue reading this blog.
Perez, do what you do best and bash on celebrities. NOT countries.
You are not smart enough for that.
Doing this will only offend alot of your chinese readers.
W/o your readers, you will prolly still be sitting on your fat ass in that cafe everyday writing about useless shit.
hai is a fuckn douche with an undeserved place in the law field. the whole 'harsh comment' thing is nothing new and this is way outa hand.
Ahahahhahahh "Uh," you are funny! Because you are so intelligent and educated in the USA, you should know to proof read before submitting your work.
This is stupid, what stupid people think they can sue her ” FREEDOM OF SPEACH '
It doesn't sound like she meant to hurt anyone's feelings. The fact that she apologized more than once shows that she is sorry for bruising everyone's feelings. People say hurtful things all the time about others does that mean we should sue them?
PAY UP!!!!!!
she didn't 'misspeak', freedom of speech means you are free to say as you please. i guess someone should tell those chinese people that in the united states, you can't sue someone for saying something you don't like. she made an excellent point, its a shame how quick people are to play judge.
Re: Dede – WELL SAID. THANK YOU.
That was karma for what they do to their own kids and animals. Kids and animals can't defend themselves!!!!!! I hope another thousand earthquakes happen in that horrible country!!!
I think the world agreed with Sharon but cannot say it publicly. Chinese people are lame. The never let anything go, are mean to their own, polute the world shamelessly, are greedy, stingy, stinky, little, unattractive, and pushy. I went to China (not by choice) and visited the Great Wall. The Chinese were running and pushing like they thought the wall was going to fall any moment. So rude!!!!
They need to shut the hell up and get over it, yes she misspoke, but it was not that offensive.
1 billion dollars, what a joke, lets see what more damage they can do with that money, bet it would not go to help the needy.
Has society really come to this? Where people are being sued because of their opinions? No matter how ridiculous they are, opinions are a form of our entitlement to freedom of speech. If this is how its going to be, I call dibs on suing Ann Coulter
fuck them they have enough money….they do deserve it mother fuckers
Dior firing her was way too harsh. I don't understand why she can't just do a Rice-A-Roni commercial at no charge and call it even.
SHARON STONE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT WHETHER THEY WILL ADMIT IT OR NOT.
no, people say shit like that when bad stuff happens to the USA all the time, just not in public. Who cares, she said what she thought. People think mean things all the time, it doesn't mean she should have to pay money for it. If that were the case, no one would ever have any money. That's dumb.
Re: uh –
and fuck that china got so strong - now every other country is afraid to piss them off. congrats, world, another damn weird country controlling.
sorry, i can't see, that you're smart and intelligent - why not explain some things to the stupids out here? (would be a prrof of your "knowledge").
topic: sorry, i do not like the chinese regime. it has the tendency to demand everything and to behave like little bitches. am i'm going to be sued for that? damn, the truth has lost it's worth
forgotten (and sorry for the typos and stuff) - you americans are big polluters - your gas prices are that low, that your vehicles are still using tons of it. so don't say that (only) china pollutes the world.
Wredickewrous Wraw Swoot.
Me Chinese me play joke me go pee pee in your coke
Money hungry idiots.
oh fuck those ming bangs. it was karma. she was right in saying it.
Re: uh – And HOW are we supposed to take you seriously when you don't even capitalize your "I's" - seriously, you are funny! Have fun boosting your own ego…you're good at it.
Fuck China. They did get what was coming to them. They poison our children, kill our pets with tainted food, pollute the environment, abort female children, eat cats and dogs, live in filth, AIDS is rampant, their commies and they are really racist towards Olympic guests. I mean, Stone didn't crawl under your streets and make the quake.
This is fucking stupid Sharone Stone has nothing to do with the earthquales in china
woah wtf. COMMENT #99: i wasnt even planning to read your comment but i've noticed an interesting, fucking insane comment you've made. china made the oil prices go up!? wtf are you even talking about? im no expert on politics and economics but hey, how can you blame china for your country's bad economy?
i never hated sharon stone before cause frankly i dont give a shit about her but what she said about my country is insulting and shameful. i dont care what attorneys are suing but if sharon stone is as sorry as she mentioned to China, then she should pay up. hey, big responsibilities come with big opporunties. if you are an international star, careful of what's going out of your mouth. im not sorry shes getting sue, im not sorry for defending my country and im definitley not sorry for giving this comment. china's been getting a lot of bullshit lately and to be frank, im sick of it. we are a developing country, trying to get out of poverty and into civilization but with all this crap you guys keep saying, its you who should be ashamed. what gives you to say bullshit about my country?
I think she should pay. What she said hurt many people and that was wrong.
Anyone saying any bad things about anyone else should pay.
It's not fair. And I don't know what she's talking about - "karma"? wasn't that a car made by Volkswagen about 30 years ago?
What happened to free speech?! WHAT, you can only say what you want as long as you don't offend China or the US?? come on!
Re: Ashle – The first amendment gives us the right to say pretty much anything we want, dumbass!
I am not a Sharon Stone fan, but come on! She said something she may or may not regret…but who cares. If that's her opinion or belief…so be it. This drama is just so ridiculous. Don't the Chinese have anything better to do…like picking up their dignity and rebuilding their communities.
the chinese don't need the extra 1 b from sharon stone. ( not that she's got the money). the us gov already owe the chinese at least 500 billion the last time i checked. they are suing stone because that's their way of sticking their middle fingers at stone.
and for those that say f*ck china i know you really don't mean it. the us cannot stop importing poisonous chinese goods because it costs too much to pay american fatass to produce the same products. the americans can't even build their own fence to keep the mexicans from coming lol
Its funny how their trying to act like a comment from one american actress can cause such distress, especially when they dont even speak or understand english to even know what she said in the first place. They need to find something better to do with their time, like improve their driving skills.
Fuck Them. She was right.
"What do U think"? I think "U" should learn how to use our language, Carlos! What are you, Prince And The Revolution?!?!? Is this 1984?
Act like the big boy that you are. Spell out words, you fat, swine-ish, lazy fairy!

SHARON STONE MISPOKE MY ASS! FREEDOM OF SPEECH HAS ITS LIMIT ESPECIALLY WHEN U BLAME THE ENTIRE FREAKIN' NATION FOR SOMETHING. BITCH.
how bout freedom of speech. celebs have said worse b4.
It's stupid they should leave her alone,she made a mistake it's not a reason to ruin her life.
i start to get the feeling that perez really hates china with a passion(political wise) i for one really dislike sharon stone and her comment…it was just plainly stupid….but 1 billion…..thats a bit too much for someone who is dumb as she is…they should just let her be… i mean if ppl start fight with a b*itch like her they are really no better than she is…
Re: onigi – Karma's gonna get YOU, too!!!!!
WHY THE FUCK IS IT ALWAYS OK FOR AMERICANS TO SAY AND DO AS THEY PLEASE YET IF ANYONE SAYS A WORD ABOUT THEM THEY REACT AS IF SOMEONE FORCED AN ARM UP THEIR ARSE? I FUCKEN HATE YOU ALL YOU SCUMBAGS.
傻逼女人活该
if she has to pay that much for saying something stupid, then everyone has to pay for saying something stupid.
Re: whate –
already!
I find this hilarious!! Sharon Stone was stupid to say those things. Even though the Chinese government is a horrible controlling government….to say that is was karma is ludacris. But this shit is even more stupid!!
However, I think this shows the difference between the USA and China. Sharon Stone has the RIGHT to say whatever the fuck she desires!! In China this lawsuit might be relevent, but to try and sue her for money…let alone a billion dollars…is the dumbest thing I've ever heard! She doesn't live in China!! She lives in the USA and here we can say whatever we want! FUCK YOU CHINA! AND FUCK THE GOD DAMN LAWYER THAT THINKS HE CAN BE ALL SUE HAPPY AND GET HIS NAME OUT THERE WITH A RIDICULOUS LAWSUIT! FUCK YOU!
Another example of a good reason for TORT REFORM. We need the LOSER PAYS rule to eliminate Stupid Law Suits like this. If this blood sucker lawyer had to pay the court cost when his ridiculous suit gets thrown out, he wouldn't have filed it.
Re: ä¸ï¿½ï¿½ – FUCK YOU!
You know what, P? I commend you for the post and your comments.
You dog Sharon, we all know that. But just goes to show your sense of justice is bigger than that.
.
So… my thoughts?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
.
Hey, Mr. Attorney, come sue me for what I'm about to say: KARMA, BITCH. You're gonna get bad karma for this ridiculous, frivolous law suite. Not only will you get laughed out of court, you're going to become the laughing stock of the world. If I had a voodoo doll, I'd be sticking it to you.
i think frank needs to be blown off the face of the freaking earth years ago
what an immoral lowlife opportunistic c___sucker.
f*ck u frank
Re: Myron – no, myron, fuck you!
I wonder what would happen if the Chinese made an offensive remark on the victims of 9/11? And by the way, the attorney is based in New York, not China.
How about suing the chinese goverment for all the human rights they have violated!
I love that she had the balls to say what so many people was thinking,
Re: fuck – Wow, that was a good one! And you came up with it so quick. I'm duly impressed, I gotta tell you that. Here's a Gold Star. I'd like you to use it as a suppository while your dildo's being cleaned. No, that's okay, don't mention it.
In case no one has done their homework, you can write STOOPID or stupid. STOOPID is just emphasizing how something or someone is stupid.
Just thought i'd clarify
DOES IT BOTHER ANYONE THAT PEREZ SPELLS IT WRONG? ITS 'STUPID'
GET IT RIGHT
DOES IT BOTHER ANYONE THAT PEREZ SPELLS IT WRONG? ITS 'STUPID'
GET IT RIGHT
Note to Mr. Ming Hai: Please remember that you are residing in the US where even dumbass celebrities have freedom of speech. The emotional distress experienced by the folks who lost loved ones in the earthquake was not a result of the Stoned One's words; it was a result of the fact that they, uh….lost loved ones in an earthquake. Duh.
WOW!! I can't believe how naive and stupid you all are!!! Blaming the Chinese or China for this lawsuit. It was an AMERICAN attorney who found the victims of this disaster and told them they could make a bunch of money suing over some stupid comments. Wake up America, and get a clue people….
no shit. i hate chinks and their tiny dicks too!!! Re: perez –
