The prolonged banking scandal is having a financial impact on Sharon Stone.
In a tearful speech at Thursday’s An Unforgettable Evening benefit gala in Beverly Hills, the Academy Award nominee, 65, claimed that she “lost half my money to this banking thing,” ostensibly alluding to two significant bank failures. Despite this, she still intended to write a check to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
“And right now, that’s courage too,” she said. “Because I know what’s happening. I just lost half my money to this banking thing, and that doesn’t mean that I’m not here. My brother just died, and that doesn’t mean that I’m not here. This is not an easy time for any of us.”
“This is a hard time in the world, but I’m telling you what, I’m not having some politician tell me what I can and cannot do, tell me I can and cannot live and what the value of my life is and is not. So stand up. Stand up and say what you’re worth, I dare you. That’s what courage is,” added Stone.
Stone didn’t explain on what she meant by the “banking thing,” but two of the three biggest bank collapses in American history, after Washington Mutual in 2008, happened last weekend within a 48-hour period.
Since then, President Joe Biden has reassured the public that “Your deposits will be there when you need them.”
