Sharon Stone, a Hollywood actress best known for uncrossing her legs in Basic Instinct, is learning that dating in 2019 is precarious for someone with her name. Bumble didn’t believe she was who she said she was. So they kicked her out.
Stone, 61, explained the troubling situation just after midnight Monday.
I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account. ????????
Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me!
Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary ? ????????♀️
Don’t shut me out of the hive ????— Sharon Stone (@sharonstone) December 30, 2019
The actress showed how Bumble bungled the situation.

Washington insiders jumped right in.
“So Sharon Stone, what kind of women are you looking for?” asked Hilary Rosen, a lefty lesbian, political consultant and pundit who happens to be the same age as Stone. (RELATED: Sharon Stone’s Most Stunning Looks Over The Years)
Stone has been married twice (to men) and has three adopted sons.
Bakari Sellers, a CNN analyst, reacted, writing, “Hilary!!” with two yellow emoji faces cracking up.
Elizabeth Thorp, who played U.S. Secretary of Defense “Maria Ford” in Netflix’s House of Cards and is a senior adviser to Planned Parenthood, emoted, “My God, if Sharon can’t get on a dating site what hope do the rest of us have???” (RELATED: Sharon Stone Poses For GQ)
Louise Mensch, a British blogger and novelist who has been described as a “conspiracy theorist” for her attacks on President Trump and bizarre assertions such as Russian PM Vladimir Putin being responsible for Andrew Breitbart‘s murder, wrote, “I thought you were a girl,” and added a smiley face.
Stone is no wallflower when it comes to politics. In 2016, she backed Hillary Clinton and blasted Bernie Sanders, wondering if he was on acid.
Bumble didn’t waste much time fixing the problem.
At 3:59 a.m., Bumble’s Clare O’Connor replied to Stone with a yellow heart emoji, assuring her that the problem would be resolved.
“Oh no Sharon Stone! editorial director here. We’re on the case. Trust us, we *definitely* want you in the Hive. We’ll get to you ASAP.” (RELATED: Sharon Stone Poses Nude At 57)
She soon announced the problem was resolved and Stone was free to dive back in.
AHA! @sharonstone, we at @bumble found your account, unblocked you, and ensured this won’t happen again. You can get back to Bumbling! Thanks for bearing with us and hope you find your honey.????

This didn’t calm the nerves of online crybabies who demanded that Bumble’s official Twitter account release a statement on this urgent matter overtaking planet Earth Monday morning.
“Add ‘major Sharon Stone bumble’ to your resume,” a follower snapped at her.
O’Connor defended herself, saying, “I don’t have anything to do with account moderation! Just stepping in to reply on twitter on behalf of our customer service team.”
Thank God at 7:23 a.m. Bumble finally released something.
There can only be one ???? Stone. Looks like our users thought you were too good to be true. We’ve made sure that you won’t be blocked again. We hope that everyone in our community takes a sec to verify their profiles. (Catherine Tramell from Basic Instinct gets a pass today!)
