Kate Beckinsale Gets Into Fiery Exchange With Trolls Criticizing Her For Looking 'Too Thin'

Kate Beckinsale has fired back at trolls who claimed she looked "too thin" in a video she shared on her Instagram page.

In the comment section of her post, the actress candidly told her followers that what they think of her appearance is "not important" and that she has been "trying to survive what feels like unbearable losses."

In the comment section of a recent post, Beckinsale addressed trolls who accused her of looking "too thin."

The actress had shared a video of herself describing her on-set experience for a project she was involved in and looked thrilled to be back at work amid a recent health scare.

Shortly after posting, the comment section filled with remarks about her "cheekbones showing," how she "used to be gorgeous," and snide comments about her not eating enough.

Responding to the comments, the actress decided against taking the high road, opting instead for a rant to shut down her trolls and explain the reasons behind her body transformation.

She wrote, per the DailyMail, "'I have been really sad. I watched my second dad die. It made me sick. Sorry, you find me less attractive. Couldn't give a f--k."

The 55-year-old actress also shared that her family had been through a lot recently, referring to the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, in January and her biological father, Richard, who passed away when she was a child. She added that she is still adjusting to losing two such important people.

Continuing with her rant, Beckinsale also opened up about her recent health scare, which led her to spend six weeks in the hospital.

She revealed that she was admitted after "copiously vomiting blood" from a Mallory-Weiss tear, which refers to a tear in the inner lining of one's esophagus.

The actress also revealed that she "experienced a severe flare of [her] mast cell disease," a condition she discussed last year after facing accusations of undergoing a facelift.

According to Beckinsale, she believed these health scares had "contributed to some weight loss" before further admonishing her trolls for attacking her.

She added, "What you think of my appearance and how I should look, independently of any circumstances in my life and my family's is not important….I am trying to survive what feel like unbearable losses."

News of Beckinsale's recent health issues first came to light after the actress shared several pictures of herself in a hospital bed back in March, per People.

At the time, the actress did not reveal any information as to the cause of her ill health and later deleted the pictures after she left the hospital.

The initial picture was shared as a tribute to her mom, marking her birthday and Mother's Day in the U.K. The caption read, "Thank you to those that love us and support us when it's s— and try to make sure there are some bits that aren't."

There was also a shot of her with her friend, Jonathan Voluck, and two others with her pets, a cat, Willow, and her beloved Pomeranian Myf.

Beckinsale's rant comes days after she opened up about grief fog,  a situation when a person loses their ability to concentrate and make decisions or remember things after a traumatic loss.

She wrote on her Instagram page, "Grief fog is real – it doesn't mean you have become stupid or lazy -grief fatigue is real -grief rage, which feels like being hangry and becoming flustered or livid at something which would have in the past been a minor annoyance, is all part of this new and hopefully temporary experience of ourselves."

She shared that often, those who haven't experienced loss may find it challenging to understand and that it falls on the bereaved "to fight to hold space for ourselves and be tender with ourselves."

Beckinsale also pointed out that her remarks were not limited to recent grief but extended to historic and even anticipatory grief, where individuals are "in a holding state bracing for an unbearable loss."

In February, Beckinsale revealed details about her stepfather Battersby's cremation, which took place on February 19 at Mortlake Crematorium in west London.

Sharing a picture of the order of service, she expressed gratitude to family and friends for their support and participation in honoring Battersby's memory.

"We wish to thank you, our family and friends, for your loving support and being with us today to honour and commemorate Roy," the actress wrote.

The document included a heartfelt message inviting attendees to celebrate Battersby's life and share cherished memories together, adding: "Please join us afterwards to celebrate him and his life, share memories and stories, and inevitably miss him, knowing how much he would enjoy such a get-together."
