Kate Beckinsale slams body shamers following health scare

She stated that her appearance is not up for debate and criticised the trolls for bullying women about their bodies.

Actress Kate Beckinsale recently fired back at critics commenting on her weight following a recent health scare. The backlash began after Beckinsale shared an Instagram video showcasing her preparations for an upcoming 1990s-themed film, "Stolen Girl."

While many fans expressed excitement, some criticised her appearance, suggesting she looked too thin. Beckinsale responded by revealing the personal losses and health challenges she has faced in the past year, including the death of her stepfather and her own hospitalisation for a Mallory-Weiss tear.

She firmly stated that her appearance is not up for public discussion and criticised the trolls for bullying women about their bodies. Beckinsale emphasised the importance of focusing on her well-being and supporting her family during this difficult time.

This is not the first time Beckinsale has faced body shaming. In March, she was hospitalised for an undisclosed illness, which led to further speculation about her health and weight. However, she remained resilient and continued to share updates with her fans while prioritising her recovery.

Beckinsale's response serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding, particularly when it comes to discussing someone's health and appearance.
