Sharon Stone Weighs in on Meryl Streep, and the Oscar Winner's Fans Don't Like What She Had to Say
Sharon Stone gave her thoughts on the 'idolization' of Meryl Streep, but fans aren't taking her [...]
While some people found part of Stone's agitation to be valid, the rest of her conversation was looked at as "envious." "It sounds like they have beef," this user speculated.
prevnextSharon Stone should've quit talking after the first thing she said about what Hollywood does to women because the rest of it just makes her sound envious and detracts from her very valid point.
It sounds like they have beef. Or maybe Sharon Stone has beef and Meryl is all "Who?"

This user compared the iconic acting legends to that of Paulie Shore and Marlon Brando. Stone being Shore and Streep as Brando.
prevnextSharon Stone is a good actor, but her complaining that Meryl Streep receives accolades and awards is like Paulie Shore saying the same of Marlon Brando.

"Sharon Stone does not have one performance that matches any of Streep's," this user say, clearly showing whose side their on in this hypothetical argument.
prevnextSharon Stone does not have one performance that matches any of Streep’s. I agree with the list here of excellent actresses but no one has the variety or number of great portrayals as Streep. When I start thinking about the different roles she has played I am amazed.

Someone on Twitter pointed out the hypocrisy of Stone's argument by her adding the list of actors she feels are on the same level, if not better than, Meryl Streep.
prevnextSharon Stone: why are we pitted against Meryl Streep? Do you think she likes that? We need to stop pitting women against each other
Also Sharon Stone: here’s a list of things I do better than MERYL ever could & here’s a list of actors that are as good if not better than MERYL 🥴

This user answered Stone's first point, asking that Hollywood should make more space for all actors instead of putting some on pedestals and comparing them to each other.
prevI hate the nasty narrative that somehow Meryl works TOO much and steals roles. Maybe the conversation should be we don’t write enough roles for people like Sharon Stone and Judy Davis to thrive in
