As we hurtle towards a new decade, many of us have already started trying to get our dating lives in order for 2020 – and it seems
Hollywood star Sharon Stone is no different.
Or that was until Bumble blocked her from the app.
The A-lister has revealed she has been looking for love on the popular dating site, but had her account shut down over assumptions her profile was fake. Sharon begged not to be “shut out of the hive” as she fumed about the incident on Twitter.
“I went on the Bumble dating sight and they closed my account [sic],” she wrote. “Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me!
“Don’t shut me out of the hive.”I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account. 👁👁Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me! Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary ? 🤷🏼♀️Don’t shut me out of the hive 🐝— Sharon Stone (@sharonstone) December 30, 2019pic.twitter.com/wrsFpTkygp— Sharon Stone (@sharonstone) December 30, 2019Bumble, which differs from other dating apps as the woman must initiate contact by sending the first message, responded on
Twitter saying that the account may have been reported by users for being a fake.
They added that “Queen Stone” can verify her account to ensure she will not be blocked again.
