The Sharon Stone Custody Battle, Now With Extra Added Loopiness
It seems that the whole Sharon Stone/Phil Bronstein custody battle, which we kind of thought was more about geography than anything else, perhaps wasn't so much about location and a bit more about strange parenting than was first evident. It seems that Sharon is one of those parents who thinks, for example, that a bit of foot sweat is akin to a terrible and life-altering diagnosis of plantar hyperhidrosis. No, man, I'm totally serious. I couldn't make this stuff up. Read on:
Among many things, the judge says, "Mother appears to overreact to many medical issues involving Roan." In one case, the judge describes Stone believing Roan had a spinal condition, but "there was no evidence to support this allegation."And then the court says, "Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor. As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."
And if that wasn't bad enough, she seems to not want to cooperate with anything other than what she herself decided was best for Roan:
The judge differentiated very distinctly the difference between Bronstein and Stone, saying, "Father has championed for Roan's well-being out of, what appears to this Court, nothing less than the unconditional love for his son. Unfortunately, and for unexplained reasons, it appears that Mother did not involve herself to the extent she could or should have in this process ... Mother has attempted to put up roadblocks to Roan's getting help, or has decided against participating in his care."The judge goes on: "Unfortunately, the problem caused by Mother's overreactions is painfully real for this child." [...]
The judge says at one point, responding to Stone's argument that she put her career on hold for Roan, "If Mother has, in fact, limited her career to make herself available for Roan, she has done little to make this evident to Roan, his school or this Court."
O rly. She has "limited her career" to raise this boy, has she? According to IMDb, the actress has one movie in production for a 2010 release, one in post-production for a 2009 release, two movies released this year, three movies released last year, three movies and one recurring role on a TV show in 2006...well, you get the idea. Considering that most movies are shot at least one to two years in advance, sometimes longer, and looking at the list of projects she has done, it would seem that Sharon has been very busy indeed working on her career, not to mention the fact that she always seems to be a places like Cannes and various overseas fashion and award shows. Let's not forget that she has two other children...it makes you wonder just who is doing the parenting when she's off gallavanting around. Continued on the next page
