Imaging Sharon Stone being blocked on a dating site? That's straight-up sin, isn't it? Well, it happened. Sharon Stone took to Twitter and Instagram to complain to Bumble about the popular dating site blocking her account. According to the, Basic Instinct actress' screenshot, her account was blocked because of receiving too many reports of it being fake. In the tweet, Stone mentioned how she "went on the @bumble dating sight" and they closed her account. She further said that, "Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me!" She asked Bumble: "Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary? Don’t shut me out of the hive."

It didn't take long for Bumble to respond to the tweet. Bumble’s editorial director Clare O’Connor informed her that her account had been reactivated and also left a message that “hope you find your honey.” Her whole message read: "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."

So, the problem is solved! The American actress, producer, and former fashion model has her account back and is bumbling her way to the new year now. Bumble and other dating sites have to be very strict with their algorithms to deal with fake dating profiles. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission had recently sued Tinder owner Match Group Inc. for "deceiving consumers by using messages from fraudulent accounts to encourage them to sign up for subscriptions"
Last year, the 59-year-old star's interview over the Harvey Weinstein controversy had gone viral. When she was asked if she had faced sexual harassment in her career, she gave a straight ten-second long laughter on CBS Sunday and calmly proceeded to explain the spine-chilling reason behind her chuckle by saying, "Oh, I've been in this business for 40 years, Lee. Can you imagine the business I stepped into 40 years ago? Looking like I look, from Nowhere, Pennsylvania? I didn't come here with any protection. I've seen it all."
