Sharon Stone got mistakenly blocked on Bumble

If you happen to come across a Sharon Stone next time you're on Bumble, it may really be that Sharon Stone.

The Basic Instinct star apparently has an account with the popular dating app, as she revealed Monday. But too many incredulous users evidently reported this very real account as fake, leading to her getting mistakenly blocked.

"Some users reported that it couldn't possibly be me!" she wrote on Twitter, posting a screenshot of the message she received citing "several reports about your profile being fake." She then asked Bumble not to "shut me out of the hive."

Naturally, Bumble moved quickly to publicize Stone's apparent enthusiasm. Her account was unblocked Monday and the app tweeted, "Looks like our users thought you were too good to be true. We've made sure that you won't be blocked again." Now Stone can buzz her way back onto Bumble just in time for the new year.
