In a recent interview for Business Insider, the Total Recall actress described how she and Douglas had a row during an event held in Cannes, France at an undisclosed date. Stone alleged Douglas was "triggered" about something she said in "regard to a father-child relationship" and "screamed" at her in front of a group of people.

Michael Douglas responded after former costar Sharon Stone said in an interview that they got into a 'heated' argument when they first met and later 'became the greatest of friends.' Douglas says he is 'very surprised' by Stone's recollection.
