The bad “karma” keeps rolling for Sharon Stone, as more than 1,000 Chinese earthquake victims and a New York lawyer are demanding a $1 billion pay-out - or maybe just an apology.

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.

“For the families who have lost their loved ones or lost limbs or suffered severe injuries, your . . . statement and act has caused extreme emotional distress,” Ming wrote, citing the controversial comments Stone made at the Cannes Film Festival.

In a public apology last month, Stone, 50, said she “misspoke” and “could not be more regretful for that mistake.”

In April, two women sued CNN for $1 billion - a dollar for every Chinese person - because anchor Jack Cafferty said the country is led by a “bunch of goons and thugs.”
