While there are plenty of examples to break down here, the unprofessional behavior of the director can be summed up in Stone's claims that he refused to use her real name on set, instead referring to her as Karen. On top of this, Stone was frequently disrespected behind the scenes during Basic Instinct by director Paul Verhoeven. The outrage she felt upon realizing what happened even had her consulting a lawyer. She has been adamant that she didn't consent to such a graphic scene - instead, she was led to believe that any nudity in the scene would be strictly implied. Perhaps one of the biggest red flags laid out in Stone's memoir is how she was gravely misled while filming the interrogation scene.
