5月24日，美國女星莎朗·斯通在戛納接受記者采訪時出言不遜，說中國發生地震是報應。對于莎朗·斯通的言論，無論是當時在戛納的各國媒體，還是聞訊后的中國演藝界和普通民眾，都感到震驚和憤怒。莎朗·斯通于昨日下午通過其經紀人發給Dior公司稱由于自己在受訪中的不當言行，對中國人民所造成的傷害，感到非常的難過和抱歉。

以下是她接受采訪時的視頻及言論原文：

CNN: Have you heard about the earthquake in CHINA?
CNN：你知道中國地震的消息？

Sharon Stone: Of Course I have.
莎朗·斯通：我當然知道。

CNN：How you feel about it?
CNN：你心中作何感想？

Sharon Stone: You know it’s very interesting because you know at first I am unhappy about the way that the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I think anyone shouldn’t be unkind to anyone else. So I have been very concerned about to how to… things and what to do about that. Because I dont like THAT. And I have been concerned about.. oh… how should we deal with the Olympics because they haven’t been nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine.. and the earthquake… and all the stuff happened… I think … is that bad KARMA? when you’re not nice that the bad things happen. And I got a letter from the Tibetan Foundation, they want to go and to be helpful. And that made me CRY. and they asked me if I want to write a quote about that.. and I said I would (for) that is a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down to be at service to people who aren’t nice to you. And that is a BIG lesson to me.

（大意：這個（指地震）太有意思了，因為我很不滿意中國人對待藏人的方式，我認為人人都應該其他人友善。我就開始想如何……做點什么，因為我很不喜歡那樣（指“對藏人的方式”）。另外，我也很關注如何對付奧運會，因為中國人一直對達賴喇嘛不友好，而達賴喇嘛是我的好朋友，這次地震所有這些發生的事兒，我不禁問，這是“報應”么？你不積德，就會有不好的事發生在你身上。之后，我收到西藏基金會的一封信，他們說他們將要前往震區提供幫助，這把我感動哭了。西藏基金會問我是不是要發表一個聲明支持他們，我說我絕對會的，因為這對我來說是很深刻的一課，當別人待你不善的時候，你也要低下頭對他們提供幫助。這真的是很深刻的道理。）
