is not letting the haters get to her. The actress recently took to Instagram to clap back at critics who criticized her appearance, particularly commenting on her weight.
The backlash came after Beckinsale shared a video showcasing her preparations for her upcoming 1990s-based film, "Stolen Girl." In the video, she sported a variety of retro-styled outfits and hairstyles while goofing around in her trailer.
However, instead of receiving positive feedback, Beckinsale faced criticism about her weight, with some users commenting that she looked too thin. One commenter wrote, "Sorry to say this Kate, but you do look a bit thin."
Beckinsale didn't hesitate to address the criticism head-on. In a response to the commenter, she revealed the personal struggles she's been facing, including nursing her stepfather to his death earlier in the year, coping with her mother's health issues, and dealing with the loss of her beloved cat.
The actress also opened up about her own health issues, which included a six-week hospital stay due to severe vomiting of blood caused by stress. She explained that she also experienced a severe flare-up of her mast cell disease, which is exacerbated by stress, shock, and grief.
Beckinsale emphasized that her appearance should not be the focus, especially in light of the challenges she's been dealing with. She called out the critics for feeling the need to comment on her appearance and urged them to be more compassionate.
This isn't the first time Beckinsale has been candid about her health struggles. In March, she shared a selfie from the hospital, sparking concern among fans. Despite facing challenges, Beckinsale remains resilient and focused on her recovery.
As the actress continues to navigate her health journey, she serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing self-care and compassion, both for oneself and others.
