【大公网讯】美国有线电视新闻网6月1日报道，好莱坞明星莎朗·斯通(莎朗史东)周六发表了一份声明，称她对此前针对中国地震发表的言论表示"莫大的遗憾"。而在美国时间本周四晚上，她接受《纽约时报》长达45分钟的电话采访时，她还坚称自己从未就此事表示道歉，Dior以她的名义发表的道歉歪曲了她的本意。莎朗·斯通于周六发表的这份是其亲自起草的，她在声明中说，"千真万确，那是出于口误。""犯下这个错误我感到莫大的遗憾。那是不理智的，我道歉。我说那些话并没有想伤害任何人的意思。""那是由于一时分心和对消息的敏感。""媒体对这件事的报道铺天盖地。我想尽快告诉他们我心里的想法，以便阻止人们去进行各种理解。"在前不久的戛纳国际电影节上，莎朗·斯通在回答对于中国四川地震的看法时，称她不满意中国人对待达赖喇嘛的做法，因此地震是"对中国人的报应"。此言一出，立即在国际社会引起轩然大波，谴责如雪片般飞来，与莎朗·斯通合作的法国公司也打算撤掉她的广告。无奈之下，莎朗·斯通于本周六发表了上述声明。
