Overview
- Stone disclosed the account on David Begnaud’s podcast, saying she was struck from behind, woke up unconscious at home, and had no clear memory of the event.
- She says a Marina Del Rey neck and spine clinic identified fractured and healed thoracic ribs during X-rays while treating chronic neck and shoulder pain.
- The treating doctor told her the injuries looked like an assault and should be reported to police, and Stone says the incident was reported at that time.
- Stone declined to press charges, saying a decade had passed, she was a public figure, and she worried about proving a case and how it would affect her legacy.
- Separately, Stone recounted an early‑2000s breast‑tumor scare and a recommended bilateral mastectomy that she says precipitated the end of her marriage; news coverage so far confirms her account but has not identified a suspect or new legal action.
