Sharon Stone: « She didn’t say hello to anyone, she was sulking… », revealed one of the organizers
« She used the auctioneer’s hammer and she started by selling two of her personal effects, a purse and a card holder, even though they weren’t on the list! The guests were very enthusiastic and she couldn’t proceed with the bidding. She simply said: ‘There’s too much noise, you’re not listening to me, I’m leaving’. It was unimaginable, I have never seen that in my life. She said she had no more time to waste with us!“, added the two witnesses quoted by Nice morningwho chose to remain anonymous.
« It had required a huge organization. You imagine, the time and the money to move all the workssome of which weigh 50 kilos and measure 2 meters, for nothing?! These stars who believe they are above the law… This is serious, especially since the sale was organized for the benefit of the Ukrainians. And what she touched to come, it’s shameful: 25,000 euros just for the trip, without the hotel and the extras. She didn’t say hello to anyone, she sulked…“, railed a member of the organization.
