American actress Sharon Stone has said in a podcast that she was sexually harassed by a top Sony Pictures executive in the 1980s.
Stone, now 65, spoke to fellow actress and talk show host Kelly Ripa on her podcast Let's Talk Off Camera, in an episode that was released on Wednesday.
The Casino and Basic Instinct actress said she visited Sony offices shortly after moving to Los Angeles in the 1980s and remembered wearing her "special outfit".
"I was so excited to wear my special outfit and to meet the head of Sony," she said.
Once inside his office, the man, which Stone did not name, was "pacing around the office" and gushing over her appearance.
"Then he came walking right up in front of me," Stone said.
"He took his penis right out in my face."
Stone said she then began "laughing and crying at the same time" and became "hysterical".
"I couldn't stop and he didn't know what to do. Of course he put it away and went through a door behind his desk.
"Eventually his secretary came and led me out."
Stone said that is not "the last of many weird experiences" she had in her career.
Representatives for Stone and Sony have been approached for comment.
When she was promoting her 2021 memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone said she felt pressured to reveal whether she had experienced sexual abuse in Hollywood.
She explained how she was tricked into appearing without underwear in the now iconic scene of Basic Instinct.
In October the actress opened up to Vogue about a brain haemorrhage that had resulted from a ruptured vertebral artery in 2001.
She said she was dropped by Hollywood after the health scare and struggled to find work for 20 years following her recovery.
Stone became a sex symbol status in the 1990s and went on to star in critically-acclaimed films such as Casino, for which she won the Golden Globe Best Lead Actress in a Musical or Comedy and was nominated for an Oscar.
