Sharon Stone spoke about the painful moment she knew her marriage was over.
Stone recently revealed that when she was dealing with a terrible health problem, she found herself at odds with her husband. His reaction to her decision eventually became a tipping point in their relationship.
The 68-year-old actress remembers being warned that doctors believed the suspicious masses in her breast could be cancerous.
Stone did not mention her ex-husband by name but shared that he is a journalist. The actress was married to Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2004. At the time, Bronstein was a prominent newspaper executive. Her first husband was television and film producer and writer Michael Greenburg; married to Greenburgh from 1984 until 1990.
“And one of them was bigger than the size of my entire left breast,” she said during an appearance on “The Person Who Believed In Me” podcast. “It was coming up here. And the doctor had come out to my house and said, ‘Look, we think you should do a bilateral mastectomy. This is really bad. And usually, when they come up here, we know before we come in that they have cancer.’ And I said, ‘I don’t have cancer.’ He said, ‘You can’t decide that.’ And I said, ‘I do, I can decide that I decide. But I decide that I will have two sides because I am not the king everywhere.”

Stone said her husband’s response was quick and negative: “…my husband said, ‘Wow, this is funny.’ He got up and left the room.”
The “Basic Instinct” star explained that her then-husband was “furious” that she would choose to have a bilateral mastectomy. Stone recalled the doctor defending her decision and reminding her husband that the choice was his.

“And so the doctor said to her, ‘If I had more patients like her, we’d have more women alive today. You need to sit down.’ And I said, ‘I make decisions. Not you.'”
“That was the end of the marriage,” Stone recalled. “That was it. He was done with me. And then it was over.”
Stone clarified that the decision to end the marriage was not made that day.
