Sharon Stone sent Bumble a plea on Twitter on Monday morning after she said her account had been blocked.

The 61-year-old "Basic Instinct" actress said that some users, not believing that the real Sharon Stone was using the dating app, had reported her account as fake and that her account had subsequently been closed.

"I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account," she tweeted.

"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 followed up with a screenshot of the message on her Bumble page, which said her account had been blocked after the company had received "several reports" that her profile was fake.

Naturally, many of Stone's fans on Twitter reacted to her predicament.

"My God, if Sharon can't get on a dating site what hope do the rest of us have???" PYPO's editor in chief, Elizabeth Thorp, tweeted.

"Umm, get Sharon Stone back on your wretched grid this goddamn instant and apologize for the audacity," the writer Ben Philippe tweeted.

"Take out a few thousand Finance Bros whose bios are a string of flag emojis if you need to make server space, you fools," he added.

Hours later, Bumble's editorial director Claire O'Conner responded to Stone saying that they had unblocked her account.

"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," O'Conner tweeted.

She also assured people on Twitter that the ordeal was not a marketing stunt orchestrated between the dating app and Stone.

"Hey Patriot! I promise you, if we'd masterminded this, it wouldn't be for the middle of the night east coast time on Dec 30," O'Conner replied to one person who questioned the legitimacy of the incident.

Shortly after, the official Bumble account also replied to Stone saying: "There can only be one [crown emoji] Stone. Looks like our users thought you were too good to be true.

"We've made sure that you won't be blocked again. We hope that everyone in our community takes a sec to verify their profiles. (Catherine Tramell from Basic Instinct gets a pass today!)"
