Sharon Stone has slagged off the 'terrible dialogue' written in the script of her 1993 film Sliver.
It comes on the heels of her co-star Billy Baldwin's, 63, inflammatory comment that he will 'never' work with Stone, 68, again.
The actress looked back on the movie in a segment with Variety called Does Sharon Know Her Lines? in which she read some of her past movie lines and guessed which project they were from.
She read the line, 'You’ve been spending too much time with your vibrator,' from Sliver and admitted, 'God, I don’t remember saying that. Or thinking that.'
Stone initially guessed the quote was from her 1998 movie Sphere, then backtracked, 'No, not Sphere. The one, the name of the building. Oh! Sliver.'
She noted, 'I made a rule that no one was allowed to even say that word for years. And that's why, because what terrible dialogue. Clearly written by a man without enough to do.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Stone for comment.

Stone said in an interview with Variety that the dialogue written in Sliver is 'terrible'
Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter behind Stone's hit film Basic Instinct, also penned the script for Sliver.
Sliver sees Carly Norris (Stone) move into an apartment building where various female tenants have been found dead.
She strikes up an impassioned affair with Zeke Hawkins (Baldwin), the building owner, before realizing he could possibly be the killer.
Earlier this month, Baldwin appeared on the Lisa Guerrero Unleashed podcast, where he recalled there being 'tension' between him and Stone on set, which he claimed left the cast and crew 'miserable.'
'We got along pretty well the first couple weeks,' he shared about the Golden Globe-winning star. 'And then she wouldn't say 'hello' or 'goodbye' to me for the next three months.'
He said he felt so uncomfortable that he met with producers to beg them not to make him kiss Stone in a sex scene.
The entertainer recalled saying, 'I can do the scene but just please don't make me kiss her. …I can't kiss her.'
He went on to claim that his request not to kiss resulted in their characters Zeke and Carly having sex against a pillar.

Stone previously wrote in her 2021 memoir The Beauty of Living Twice that producer Robert Evans suggested she have sex with Baldwin off camera to break their on-set tension, and draw out a better performance from him.
But Baldwin refuted the claim, telling Guerrero that Evans said the same thing to him.
He explained, 'Robert Evans wasn't saying that to her or me about our acting.
'He was saying, 'I keep getting reports that there's incredibly bad tension. We know what it's all about. All this pent-up sexual energy tension. Just do it and get it over with.''
Elsewhere in the interview, the star lauded Stone's acting chops while referencing her famous Basic Instinct scene: 'She had incredibly powerful – 11 out of 10 – screen presence.
'Sharon Stone on screen, whether she's crossing and uncrossing her legs or not, Sharon Stone on screen has got awesome screen presence.'
Baldwin eventually said he would 'love to bury the hatchet' with the blonde siren and 'shake her hand' or 'give her a hug.'
