About 1,000 Chinese citizens are threatening to sue actress Sharon Stone for $1 Billion. It all stems from Shar’s public proclamation that the catastrophic earthquake that rocked China last May was the result of “karma” for the nation’s treatment of Tibet. New York City attorney Ming Hai’s says she intends to sue the Basic Instinct star for harming Chinese people.

“For the families who have lost their loved ones or lost limbs or suffered severe injuries, your … statement and act has caused extreme emotional distress,” Ming wrote of the controversial comments Stone made at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
