Despite having no connection to the former NFL player, the actress recently recalled a story when she was asked to evacuate her house. According to Sharon Stone’s claims, she was living without security in her house, and to ensure protection, the LAPD officers advised her to move.

However, the officers who were involved in O.J. Simpson’s high-speed pursuit are retired, and interestingly don’t remember anything that might align with Sharon Stone’s story. Her claim about being involved in the incident seems to have been debunked by the retired officers.
