Sharon Stone reveals the cause of her black eye after alarming photo: ‘I know you’re all worried’

Sharon Stone has an explanation for her black eye.

Concern was raised for the “Basic Instinct” actress, 66, after she posted an Instagram photo Wednesday of her posing with a bruise around her left eye.

In the picture, Stone stood in an elevator in Turkey while sporting the gnarly injury.

“This trip has been tough; but I’m tougher,” she captioned her post.

After fans expressed their concerns for Stone’s wellbeing in the comments section, she shared a video Thursday where she explained why she has a black eye.

“I know you’re all worried about how I got a black eye, so I thought I’d let you know,” she told her followers while sitting outside near a pool.

“I’ve been in so many hotels in so many countries that I got up in the middle of the night to pee and didn’t know where I was, and smacked my face on the marble,” Stone said.

She went on, “No, nobody did anything to me, and yes, I’m just fine, and I’m having a great time. I’m being welcomed very beautifully on my trip everywhere that I’ve gone. I’m having just the greatest time.”

Stone then took off her sunglasses to show off the brutal black eye.

“It’s getting better, but it really is a good-looking shiner,” Stone continued. “You should see what I did to that marble floor. Thanks so much for caring about me, I care about you, too. Thank you.”

The “Catwoman” actress captioned her video, “Black Eye update 😀 Thank you all for your kind messages.”

Commenters flooded Stone’s initial Instagram post about her then-mysterious black eye.

“Dear lord!!! I hate to see the other guy. Hope you are okay,” one person wrote.

“What happened to your left eye??” another said.

A different person commented, “Wha?? Who did it…I’ll get ’em!”

But after Stone cleared everything up, her fans were happy to hear that she is OK.

“Okay I was ready to go find the culprit. Glad it was not a person who did that to your eye!!!” one fan wrote.

Someone else said, “People you don’t even know care about you. Life well lived Sharon.”

“So lovely, great to see you’re ok and still beautiful. Enjoy your trip,” another comment read.

Earlier this month, Stone did an interview with the Hollywood Reporter where she reflected on the near-fatal stroke she had in 2001. She claimed that people stole $18 million from her when she was recovering, but said she’s gotten over what happened.

“I decided not to hang onto being sick or to any bitterness or anger,” she explained. “If you bite into the seed of bitterness, it never leaves you. But if you hold faith, even if that faith is the size of a mustard seed, you will survive.

“So, I live for joy now,” Stone added. “I live for purpose.”
