Sharon Stone logged into Bumble, the dating app, to browse through some potential "honey" for herself when she discovered that her account had been blocked. She took to Twitter on Monday, December 30, to complain about the same, saying that Bumble had blocked her from the platform because some of the users had reported her account to be fake, tagging the app in her post. 

"I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account. Some users reported that it couldn’t possibly be me! Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary? Don’t shut me out of the hive," she wrote in a tweet.

In a followup post, she attached the screenshot of the message that popped up when she tried to access her account on the app. It said, "You've been blocked. We're committed to keeping bumble safe, which means we have to enforce certain rules when our values are violated. Your account has been blocked because we've received several reports about your profile being fake."

Needless to say, the fans of the 61-year-old 'Basic Instinct' actress immediately rallied behind her, calling for the app to restore her account. 

"Let's see here. Overly successful woman who is revered beyond her personal accolades can't find a man secure enough to date her while constantly being in her shadow. I'm shocked. #malefragility," one user said, while another commented, "Umm, get Sharon Stone back on your wretched grid this goddamn instant and apologize for the audacity. Take out a few thousand Finance Bros whose bios are a string of flag emojis if you need to make server space, you fools."

Within three hours of Stone complaining on Twitter, Clare O'Connor, the editorial director of Bumble replied to the actress, informing her that her account had been restored. 

"AHA! @sharonstone, we at @bumble found your account, unblocked you, and ensured this won't happen again. You can get back to Bumbling! Thanks for bearing with us and hope you find your honey," she wrote
