The “Basic Instinct” star was recently served with legal papers announcing attorney Ming Hai’s intention to sue her for harming Chinese people when she suggested the catastrophic quake last May was “karma” for the regime’s occupation of Tibet.

On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck the Sichuan Province of China. Nearly 70,000 Chinese were killed and over 370,000 injured. 18,000 are still missing. When asked about the tragedy two weeks later during the Cannes Film Festival, Sharon Stone naturally said the Chinese people had it coming because of the way their government treats Tibetans:

Well you know it was very interesting because at first I thought I’m not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have very concerned about how to . . . think and what to do about that because I don’t . . . like . . . that. And then I’ve been, ya know, I’ve been concerned about, oh, who should we deal with the Olympics because they’re not being nice to the Dalai Lama — who’s a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened and I thought, ‘Is that Karma, when you’re not nice and the bad things happen to you?
