Furious Americans have slammed Hollywood’s ‘out of touch and snobby’ liberal elite after Alec Baldwin and Sharon Stone branded millions ‘uneducated’ for voting in Donald Trump.
Baldwin and Stone’s remarks were met with furious backlash by their fellow Americans, who took to X to call the Hollywood stars ‘entitled, elitist snob losers’.
One user shared a poster he said applied to Stone which states: ‘Your only job is to entertain us. To take us away from reality. Your personal opinion means nothing to us. […] Sing. Act. Shut up.’
‘As we celebrate Thanksgiving, maybe it’s time for Hollywood to show some gratitude toward the people that have paid for the lifestyle they lead,’ another person wrote, with a third adding that the ‘uneducated’ comment was ‘arrogant’.
The criticism comes after Baldwin, 66, claimed that Americans were ‘uninformed’ while appearing at the 42nd Torino Film Festival in Turin, Italy on Monday, where he also stated that Americans ‘know little or nothing’ about world issues during a press conference.
‘There’s a hole, a vacuum… a gap in information for Americans,’ he said in a clip shared by The Hollywood Reporter on X. ‘Americans are very uninformed about reality, what’s really going on – climate change, Ukraine, you name it.’
Shortly after Sharon Stone unleashed her own rant at the same festival, calling US voters ‘ignorant’. Stone added that her fellow Americans elected Trump because they are ‘uneducated’ and don’t travel enough.
‘My country is in the midst of adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naïve and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence,’ the Basic Instinct actress said.

Baldwin and Stone’s rants about ‘uneducated’ Americans caused outrage, with social media users slamming the actor and actress for being ‘elitist’ and ‘out of touch’
‘We haven’t seen this before in our country. So Americans who don’t travel, who 80 percent don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete,’ she added.
As the two actors were called elitist for their rants, others slammed them as out of touch.
One user on X said: ‘Hollywood elite are out of touch and have become irrelevant.’
‘You couldn’t script an entitled Hollywood celebrity better than this. Hilarious,’ another chimed in about Stone’s remarks.
‘I guess she hasn’t heard. We don’t give a rats a** about Hollywood anymore, esp an irrelevant has been,’ a third added.
Their attitude was ‘exactly why Americans voted for Trump – he stood up for everyday people ignored by these self-proclaimed experts,’ according to another person.
Stone’s statements come after the millionaire actress pledged earlier this year that she would leave America for a new life in Europe if Trump won the election, like many other Hollywood stars like Eva Longoria and America Ferrera.
She said in July that she is thinking of buying a house in Italy if Trump was re-elected, saying: ‘I am certainly considering a house in Italy. I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time.’
