Sharon Stone claims ex-husband signed her up for brain surgery without her consent after stroke

Sharon Stone is opening up about a traumatic time in her life.

During a recent appearance on the " Mayim Bialik's Breakdown " podcast, the 68-year-old actress recalled the moment she woke up on a gurney to find she was on her way to get exploratory brain surgery, which her husband at the time, Phil Bronstein, allegedly signed her up for, but she never consented to.

The incident occurred in 2001, after she found herself in the neurological intensive care unit following a subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke which caused her to go in and out of consciousness.

"First I woke up, and I was being wheeled to exploratory brain surgery," she said.

"He had signed me up for exploratory brain surgery without my knowledge or consent.

And I woke up again because the gurney hit something on the floor." 'GAME OF THRONES' STAR EMILIA CLARKE WAS CONVINCED SHE 'CHEATED DEATH' AFTER SURVIVING TWO BRAIN ANEURYSMS Stone recalled the doctor continuing to wheel her to surgery despite the fact that she didn't consent to or want it.

She explained he told her, "Don't worry.

It's all been taken care of." "So I stood up on the gurney with my hospital gown open, my a-- in the breeze, and suddenly everyone came running – nurses, orderlies, everybody," she said.

"And this a--hole doctor, and he had a fax in his hand and he was screaming, 'You can't do that.

I'm on the phone with People magazine.'" She continued arguing with the doctor and telling him she never signed off on that, to which the doctor replied, "Yes, you did.

I said you did.

And I'm on the phone with People magazine," implying he has told them she is in surgery.

After telling her he had the right to speak with the magazine because he was her doctor, Stone said she fired him.
