Sharon Stone has hit out at those who have called her hypocritical for participating in Basic Instinct 2.

The AIDS activist says explicit sexual scenes, including an orgy, during the film have allowed critics to insult her. According to BreakingNews.ie, Stone says the critics believe she "encourages sexual recklessness and contradicts her AIDS activist message."

The star added: "What does that (being an AIDS activist) have to do with my film? Nothing. I'm playing a sociopath. I also have lots of thoughts about guns, but if I was playing a bank robber I'd have one.

"You play the characters that you're in and you play them fully and completely. I'm glad that I'm having an effect. (If) you see me and think I should put on a condom and be responsible about sex."
