Sylvester Stallone has punched, bled, and fought his way through Hollywood for over half a century.

From the iconic rise of Rocky Balboa to the ruthless world of Rambo and beyond, he has built an empire out of pain, perseverance, and power.

But as the man himself reveals at 80, some of the deepest wounds heโ€™s ever suffered didnโ€™t come from boxing rings or battlefieldsโ€”they came from women he once trusted.

In a shocking series of interviews tied to a never-before-heard audio memoir, Stallone gets brutally real about the six women he says he โ€œhated the mostโ€โ€”and the stories behind each name are more explosive than anything heโ€™s ever put on film.

The first woman he mentions? None other than Brigitte Nielsen, his ex-wife and one of the most controversial figures from his past.

Their whirlwind romance in the mid-80s seemed glamorous on the outside, but Stallone now calls it โ€œa complete emotional ambush.

โ€ He claims Nielsen manipulated him at a vulnerable point in his life, exploiting his fame for attention and status.

โ€œShe didnโ€™t love meโ€”she loved the spotlight,โ€ he said.

โ€œIt was like sleeping next to a ticking time bomb.

โ€ Their bitter divorce became tabloid gold, but for Stallone, it was a personal implosion.

โ€œI lost trust in people after that.

Second on his list is a famous Hollywood producerโ€™s assistantโ€”a woman whose name remains confidential, but whose impact on Stalloneโ€™s career, he says, was devastating.

According to the star, she sabotaged a major movie deal in the 1990s after he rejected her alleged romantic advances.

โ€œShe went from flirtation to fury,โ€ Stallone recounted.

โ€œSuddenly, I wasnโ€™t getting calls back.

Scripts disappeared.

It was like I was blacklisted overnight.

โ€ Though he never had proof, Stallone says the timing wasnโ€™t coincidenceโ€”and heโ€™s never forgotten the betrayal.

Third, Stallone spoke about a tabloid journalist-turned-TV host, who he accuses of deliberately twisting his words in a notorious interview that painted him as aggressive and egotistical.

โ€œI was already fighting the dumb muscle stereotype,โ€ he said.

โ€œShe made sure it stuck.

โ€ He revealed that her edited segment cost him two major roles and sparked a media storm that took years to shake off.

โ€œI hated how she used her platform to destroy me,โ€ Stallone said.

โ€œAnd she smiled while doing it.

The fourth woman on the list might be the most painful: a former fiancรฉ, who Stallone says ghosted him days before their planned wedding in the early ’80s.

Though her name has never been made public, Stallone described her as โ€œthe one who almost broke me.

โ€ He revealed that they had been together for nearly three years, and he was convinced she was โ€œthe one.

โ€ But after he proposed, things shifted.

โ€œShe stopped returning my calls.

She left town.

No explanation.

No goodbye.

โ€ The heartbreak fueled some of his most emotionally raw performances, but the bitterness remained.

โ€œI trusted her more than anyoneโ€”and she vanished.

โ€

The fifth woman was not a lover, but a co-star.

Though he didnโ€™t say her name directly, insiders believe he was referencing Sharon Stone, his co-lead in The Specialist.

Stallone described her as โ€œa nightmare on set,โ€ accusing her of diva behavior, constant delays, and undermining his creative decisions.

โ€œWe clashed on everything,โ€ he said.

โ€œShe made every scene a battle.

It stopped being workโ€”it became war.

โ€ Though the film eventually hit theaters, Stallone says the experience was so toxic it changed how he approached casting for the rest of his career.

โ€œShe drained the life out of every take.

And finally, the sixth woman was someone completely unexpected: a former close female friend, who Stallone said turned against him in a legal dispute over property and money.

โ€œShe knew everything about meโ€”my habits, my weaknesses, my family,โ€ he revealed.

โ€œAnd she weaponized it.

โ€ The betrayal, he says, was one of the deepest cuts of all.

โ€œI never thought sheโ€™d turn on me.

I never saw it coming.

โ€ Their falling out resulted in a brutal lawsuit, press smears, and what Stallone called โ€œthe most personal backstab Iโ€™ve ever felt.

So why speak out now? At 80, Stallone says heโ€™s done pretending.

โ€œPeople think Iโ€™ve been this unshakable force, but Iโ€™ve been hurt more times than I can count.

And a lot of that pain came from women I trusted.

โ€ His candid list isnโ€™t about revenge, he insistsโ€”itโ€™s about clarity.

โ€œIโ€™m not asking for sympathy.

I just want people to know that even tough guys have breaking points.

The internet has erupted in response to his confessions, with fans split between admiration and disbelief.

Some applaud his brutal honesty, while others question the decision to reopen old wounds.

But one thingโ€™s for sureโ€”Stalloneโ€™s story adds a powerful new layer to the myth of Hollywood masculinity.

Itโ€™s not just the fists and the fight scenes.

Itโ€™s the emotional battles, the heartbreaks, and the scars no camera ever captures.

At 80, Sylvester Stallone isnโ€™t rewriting his story.

Heโ€™s finally finishing the chapters he once left blank.

And in doing so, heโ€™s proving that even the strongest warriors carry painโ€”and sometimes, they name names.
