Actress Sharon Stone became an international sex symbol when she played a panty-free murder suspect in the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct in which her famous lines included, “I wasn’t dating him. I was fucking him.” But now it seems the Oscar-nominated actress is not having much luck in love. She announced on her Twitter feed that she had been kicked off the popular female-driven dating site Bumble after several people reported the account as a fake. “I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account,” she wrote. “Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me! Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary ? Don’t shut me out of the hive.” Judging by the responses on her Twitter feed, there are plenty of interested parties out there, including one would-be suitor who wrote, “if youre ever in buffalo and kinda dig fat guys with mustaches my dms are open also own a car so willing to drive (up to 25 miles) even if ya just close by.” Let us know how it works out.
Update: Hours after Stone called out the dating site, Bumble Editorial Director Clare O’Connor tweeted that the problem had been resolved. “HA! @sharonstone, we at @bumble found your account, unblocked you, and ensured this won’t happen again,” O’Connor replied. “You can get back to Bumbling! Thanks for bearing with us and hope you find your honey.”
