In a recent press conference at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, actress Sharon Stone made controversial remarks regarding the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Speaking on her thoughts about President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, Stone pointed fingers at what she referred to as “uneducated” Americans, suggesting that many of Trump’s supporters lacked passports and had never traveled abroad, contributing to their support of his campaign.

Stone, who was in Italy to receive a lifetime achievement award, used her platform to express her concerns about the direction of the United States under Trump’s leadership.

She compared the incoming second Trump administration to the rise of fascism under Benito Mussolini, drawing parallels between the two.

“Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before. My country is in its adolescence,” Stone said. “Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant, and we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.”

The actress continued, stating that many Americans who supported Trump had never experienced life outside the United States and were unprepared to deal with global issues.

She argued that these Americans are “naive” and “uneducated,” drawing attention to the fact that “80 percent [of Americans] don’t have a passport.”

“We haven’t seen this before in our country. So Americans who don’t travel, who 80 percent don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete,” she said.

Stone then transitioned into a lengthy, disjointed rant about the concept of “good men” versus “bad men,” calling on “good men” to recognize the people around them who might be “bad” and harmful.

Stone’s comments seemed to include those who voted for Trump in her definition of “bad men.”

“We must say that good men must help good men and those good men must be very aware that a lot of your friends are not good men, and you can’t continue to pretend that your friends are good men when they are not good men,” Stone said. “And you must be very clear-minded and understand that your friends who are not good men are dangerous, violent men, and you have to keep them away from your daughters, wives and your girlfriends. Because this is a time when we can no longer look away when bad men are bad.”

The actress’s remarks, which were laden with accusations and moral judgments, have raised eyebrows.

Stone, a longtime vocal critic of Trump, has previously made headlines for stating that she would consider moving to Europe if Trump won the election.

While it is unclear if she has followed through with this sentiment, her recent statements continue to generate attention in the media.

Stone’s rant at the Torino Film Festival comes amid a growing backlash against Hollywood elites who have been vocal in their opposition to Trump and his policies.

Many critics argue that celebrities like Stone, who live in luxury and global prominence, are out of touch with the realities faced by everyday Americans who have differing views on political leadership.

In the same breath, Stone’s comments drew attention to the ideological divide in the country, with many Trump supporters expressing frustration at being labeled as “uneducated” or “dangerous.”

It remains to be seen how the actress’s remarks will impact her public image, as many Americans see Hollywood elites as out of touch with the values of the heartland.

While Hollywood remains a powerful voice in shaping public opinion, Stone’s comments reflect a wider trend among celebrities who have struggled to connect with the millions of Americans who supported President-elect Trump.
