Washington
(ANI):
After
being
severely
panned
for
her
'bad
karma" comment
on
the
Chinese
earthquake,
Sharon
Stone
has
now
issued
another
apology
regretting
her
remarks
at
Cannes.
The
Basic
Instinct
actress
said
that
her
comments
linking
the
Chinese
earthquake
to
Beijing's
policy
on
Tibet,
were
unintentional
and
she
did
not
want
to
hurt
anyone.
"There
have
been
numerous
reports
about
what
I
said
in
Cannes.
I
would
like
to
set
the
record
straight
about
what
I
feel
in
my
heart
and
end
all
of
the
misunderstandings.
Yes,
I
misspoke.
I
could
not
be
more
regretful
of
that
mistake.
It
was
unintentional," People
quoted
her,
as
saying
in
a
statement
released
on
June
4.
She
added:
"I
apologize,
those
words
were
never
meant
to
be
hurtful
to
anyone,
they
were
an
accident
of
my
distraction
and
a
product
of
news
sensationalism.
I
am
deeply
saddened
by
the
pain
that
this
whole
situation
has
caused
the
victims
of
the
devastating
earthquake
in
China."
The
50-year-old
actress
has
a
long
history
of
political
activism
and
is
friends
with
Tibet's
exiled
leader,
the
Dalai
Lama.
The
repercussions
of
her
comment
resulted
in
her
being
banned
from
this
year's
Shanghai
International
Film
Festival.
The
authorities
refused
to
invite
Stone,
who
had
attended
the
event
last
year.
She
did
make
another
apology
last
week,
which
was
released
by
Christian
Dior,
which
also
dropped
her
from
their
Chinese
campaign.
In
her
last
apology
she
stated:
"I
feel
deeply
sorry
and
sad
about
hurting
Chinese
people."
