Sharon Stone's PR person must have had a rough day after the actress made ludicrous remarks in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival. When asked about the recent earthquake in China that has killed over 65,000, left 20,000 still missing and 5 million homeless, Stone told the reporter that it was most likely do to "karma."

Stone then told the Cable Entertainment News of Hong Kong, "When you are not nice, that bad things happen to you," in reference to the Chinese occupation of Tibet.

She also said, "All these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that karma?'"

Now the Hollywood Reporter reports that Ng See-Yuen, founder of the UME Cineplex chain which has branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, is boycotting the actresses movies.

Ng See-Yuen said that Stone should not bring personal politics to comments about a natural disaster that has left 5 million Chinese homeless.
