Sharon Stone Responds to Madonna Calling Her 'Mediocre'

She’s taking the high road! Sharon Stone is standing by Madonna after a private letter written by the pop superstar in the 1990s, that's currently up for auction, called the Casino actress “mediocre."

Stone, 59, responded to the comments in a Facebook post on Thursday, July 13. "Dear Madonna, First, I think it’s absurd that anyone is publishing your private letters. Therefore; I publish publicly. Know that I am your friend,” she captioned a photo of the pair together at Cannes Film Festival in 2008.

The Total Recall actress went on to say that she doesn’t view mediocre as an insult. "I have wished to be a rock star in some private moments… have felt as mediocre as you described. We know, as only those who have survived so long that owning our own mediocrity is the only way to own our own strengths; to become all that we both have become,” she shared. "I love and adore you; won’t be pitted against you by any invasion of our personal journeys. Sharon.” (Stone also directly tagged the “Vogue” singer in the post.)
