These days Sharon Stone was attending the Cannes Film Festival in France. When being interviewed for her opinion on China's 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake by the Hong Kong Cable TV on an occasion, unexpectedly, the 50-year-old actress associated the killer earthquake with Dalai Lama and China's Tibet issue and believed it was the karma. Sharon Stone said:
Well you know it was very interesting because at first, you know, I am not happy about the ways the Chinese were treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like THAT.
And I had been this, you know, concerned about, oh how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine.
And all these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought: IS THAT KARMA? When you are not nice that bad things happen to you.
And then I got a letter, from the Tibetan Foundations that they want to go and be helpful. And that made me cry. And they ask me if I would write a quote about that and I said, “I would.” And it was a big lesson to me, that some times you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who are not nice to you. And that’s a big lesson for me...
Sharon Stone was condemned on Chinese media. [Chinese in the picture above means: Shameless female foreigner claims (Sichuan Wenchuan) Earthquake is the karma of Chinese people]
Whoa! A 'good' friend of Dalai Lama, Sharon Stone is now in hot waters. She is not only denounced by Chinese netizens who've petitioned a boycott campaign against her, but also blamed by British online users, for her heartless or cold-blooded speech. Source: Shanghaiist & The New Voice
