Kate Beckinsale breaks silence over concerns from fans over her weight loss
Kate Beckinsale addressed her dramatic weight loss after a fan weighed in on her appearance via social media. On Tuesday, the Underworld actress shared a since-deleted post that included several images of herself in bikinis. 'Oh sweetheart, I honestly think you have a problem!!!' one follower wrote in the comments. 'You don't look good. I think you honestly need help.' The star responded, 'Yes I do. I'm going through one of the most deeply painful times of my life. The body keeps the score.' Though Beckinsale, 51, did not elaborate further, she referenced Bessel van der Kolk's best-selling book on trauma, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. I n a video clip, the actress appeared extremely slim while walking her dog in a pair of daisy dukes, black platform boots and a black bikini top. The actress further hinted at turmoil in the caption of her post, which also included photos of her pets and lookalike daughter Lily Mo Sheen, 26. 'Girls trip with my girls,' Beckinsale wrote. 'This is not an accurate depiction of how life is right now but a brief and precious reprieve from other things for which I am extremely grateful x.' While some fans expressed concern, one fan emphasised, 'How about we stop talking about her weight because you don't know what's going on in her life. You're beautiful and you remind me of Audrey Hepburn.' Another remarked, 'always love and respect you, Kate. I hope everything gets better soon.' Beckinsale previously clapped back at trolls who insisted she had lost 'too much weight.' In a since-deleted Instagram post from January, one person wrote, 'It's not a criticism, but I think you've lost too much weight lately.' The actress fired back, 'If it's not a criticism, it's a passive aggressive completely unnecessary opinion from someone I don't know who knows nothing about my circumstances. So next time you feel like commenting on someone's body, I suggest you keep it to your f–king self.' Beckinsale was hospitalised with a mystery illness in March 2024, which she later revealed to be due to a hole in her oesophagus. She got candid about her hospital stay via social media in July 2024 while clapping back at a troll commenting on her weight. At the time, Beckinsale claimed she lost weight due to the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, and her mom's stage 4 cancer diagnosis. 'I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite quickly,' she told a commenter.

Kate Beckinsale Breaks Silence On Weight Loss After 'You Honestly Need Help' Comment
Kate Beckinsale is opening up about her dramatic weight loss and citing the cause. The "Canary Black" actress revealed that it stems from a "deeply painful" personal experience, not something fans or critics should dissect. Beckinsale's confession follows her fiery clapback in 2024, where she told trolls to "mind your own f-cking ass" after being slammed for her looks. Kate Beckinsale has always taken a stand against unsolicited opinions about her body. The actress is clearly done staying quiet, as she has recently filed lawsuits against her "Canary Black" movie producers for allegedly ignoring safety concerns. Beckinsale set the record straight on her appearance after her now-deleted Instagram post caused a follower to comment. While many fans praised her, one crossed the line, telling her, "You don't look good. I think you honestly need help." Beckinsale did not let it slide. "Yes, I do," she replied. "I'm going through one of the most deeply painful times of my life. The body keeps the score." Her response referenced the well-known book by Bessel van der Kolk, which explores how trauma affects the body and mind. Page Six reported that the post also featured images of her daughter Lily Mo Sheen, 26, and her pets, offering a glimpse of warmth amid the hardship. Beckinsale's caption reportedly read: "Girls trip with my girls. This is not an accurate depiction of how life is right now, but a brief and precious reprieve from other things for which I am extremely grateful x." This is not the first time Beckinsale has responded to body shamers. She first spoke out last July after trolls flooded her Instagram comments with unsolicited opinions about her appearance. The Blast reports that she addressed the comment under the now-deleted post, revealing that her stepfather's death and her mother's stage four cancer diagnosis had caused extreme stress, leading to a six-week hospitalisation. But it was her signature no-nonsense tone that sealed the moment when she fired back with, "Maybe you should worry about your own f—king ass. I suggest shoving something up it - like a large pineapple or a brick." Beckinsale did not stop there. She also noted that a film she had just finished, which centered around the death of a father, added another emotional layer to her health struggles. "I just worked very, very hard on a movie that was actually quite triggering," she wrote. "So I'm not really concerned about what you think about my ass." She also called out critics who mocked her for what they saw as behavior not fitting her age. In the lengthy video, the mother-of-one faced the camera in a hairnet and delivered the perfect sarcastic takedown. When asked what she was doing, she replied, "Some, not all, but a few of my followers can get themselves really upset that they don't feel I'm doing enough age-appropriate things, so I thought I'd let them kick off their week with a little stab of joy of me putting on a hairnet." She did not stop there. With a cheeky pose showing off her backside, she fired off another line, "So for those of you who are gonna get off from this, have had it, b-tches." Then came the punchline, a mock promise to take up knitting next. Beckinsale is not just firing back at body shamers; she is now taking legal action against the people behind one of her recent films. The 51-year-old has filed a lawsuit against the producers of "Canary Black," accusing them of serious misconduct after she suffered a major knee injury on set. As reported by The Blast, Beckinsale claims she was exposed to unsafe conditions throughout filming, including 15-hour days, no proper medical staff, and last-minute stunt demands. Her legal team says Beckinsale repeatedly raised concerns, but the production team pushed forward, allegedly putting profits ahead of safety. In the lawsuit, she says she tore her left meniscus in December 2022, a serious injury that required surgery and halted filming. Even after being cleared to return with strict restrictions, Beckinsale claims she was pressured into doing stunts that directly violated her doctor's orders, making her injury worse. Beckinsale's role might have landed her in a courtroom, but it also earned her some praise. Despite the real-life injuries she claims to have suffered while filming "Canary Black," critics still found plenty to appreciate in her performance. The Guardian offered a surprisingly positive take on the film, highlighting Beckinsale's charm and physicality in the lead role of Avery Graves, a sharp, stylish spy tasked with rescuing her husband, who is completely unaware of her secret life. Though the review points out that the flashier stunts and drone-grabbing action sequences likely relied on doubles, Beckinsale is visibly present and active in many key scenes. They noted she carried the film's medium and close-up shots with flair, all while dressed in tight outfits, sky-high boots, and a sleek chocolate leather trench coat gifted to her character by her on-screen husband. Kate Beckinsale is making it clear that her body is not up for public debate and her healing is no one else's business.

Kate Beckinsale says she's going through ‘deeply painful' time after fan questions her weight loss
Kate Beckinsale had an alarming response after a follower questioned her apparent weight loss on social media. On Tuesday, the Underworld actor, 51, shared a post on Instagram that included several images of herself in bikinis. 'Oh sweetheart, I honestly think you have a problem!!!' one follower wrote in the comments of the post, which has since been deleted. 'You don't look good. I think you honestly need help.' The Van Helsing star responded candidly, 'Yes I do. I'm going through one of the most deeply painful times of my life. The body keeps the score.' According to Page Six, which shared images from Beckinsale's post, the actor hinted at turmoil in her caption, which also included photos of her pets and daughter Lily Mo Sheen, 26. 'Girls trip with my girls,' Beckinsale wrote. 'This is not an accurate depiction of how life is right now but a brief and precious reprieve from other things for which I am extremely grateful x.' The Independent has contacted Beckinsale's representative for further comment. Beckinsale previously hit back at comments about her body in January. In a since-deleted post, one person wrote, 'It's not a criticism, but I think you've lost too much weight lately.' The actor responded, 'If it's not a criticism, it's a passive aggressive completely unnecessary opinion from someone I don't know who knows nothing about my circumstances. So next time you feel like commenting on someone's body, I suggest you keep it to your f***ing self.' While it's not clear what Beckinsale is referring to by 'painful times' in her life, she recently shared a tribute to carers amid her mother's stage 4 cancer diagnosis. 'While looking after an elderly,sick or disabled relative is instinctive for many , even the most committed face enormous physical , emotional and financial struggles,' she wrote on Instagram two weeks ago. 'It is emotionally draining to live in a constant state of worry, on top of the inevitable change in relationship with someone previously independent and well. Trying to work and manage care is an almost impossible struggle ,particularly if one has no siblings or family to take the strain -and , as with most traumatic life events , a lot of people prefer to keep their distance from the subject of illness and mortality so one can often find oneself with no support system. Up to 77% of carers become suicidal.' She concluded her post: 'For anyone out there struggling , I send my love and support. This is so hard.' The actor revealed her 77-year-old mom Loe's diagnosis last July in response to another critique of her body. After someone commented on a since-deleted Instagram post telling her to 'go do some squats,' the star shut them down and got candid about how grief and family health struggles — including the January 2024 death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby — had impacted her appearance. 'No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer, and I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite, quite quickly,' Beckinsale responded in part. Beckinsale also endured health struggles of her own last year, later revealing she spent six weeks in hospital due to a hole in her esophagus. She added that she 'experienced a severe flare of mast cell disease,' which was 'mitigated by stress, shock, and grief.' 'That's what I am prepared to disclose that has contributed to some weight loss,' she continued on Instagram, in response to yet another comment. '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.'
