Kate Beckinsale isn’t letting fans’ opinions about her weight loss go unchecked, especially in the wake of her recent health woes. The 50-year-old has experienced a rough year dealing with family and health issues. Following her hospitalization in March for an undisclosed illness, the star emerged in public, looking every shade different. Her weight transition especially sparked concerns among fans, with most connecting her “frail appearance” to health issues while others hauled plastic surgery allegations against her.
On Sunday, May 26, Kate took to Instagram to share a video showing her striking various poses for a vintage photoshoot. However, several fans opted to look past her ageless beauty, focusing instead on her dramatic weight loss. According to most, the actress and model has lost her weight balance, making her appear unhealthy.
Some commenters urged Kate Beckinsale to focus more on her health by improving her diet and eating more regardless of her weight goals. While some of these commenters seemed genuinely concerned for the stars’ health, others dropped outrightly rude comments, even daring to trash her overall beauty. One troll fired,
“What happened to you? You used to be gorgeous.”
Kate Beckinsale Hits Back at Trolls Criticizing Her Weight Loss
The comment targeting her physical appearance seemed to strike a chord, as the Underworld star quickly hit back at the troll. Replying to the triggering comment targeting her weight, Kate Beckinsale, who lost her stepdad Roy Battersby in January, explained how she’s been sad these couple of months after watching her “second dad die.” According to her, dealing with the emotional moment made her sick. The actress proceeded to directly address the troll’s scornful words, throwing in a curse word to better drive home her point. She wrote,
“Sorry, you find me less attractive. Couldn’t give a fu**.”
Going further, Kate explained how adjusting to the deaths of two dads while watching her mom deal with “stuff” took its toll on her. Additionally, the actress had to deal with the demise of her “soulmate cat” last year after 19 years together.
Kate Beckinsale proceeded to voice her recent health predicaments in the now-deleted post, divulging previously unknown details about her March hospitalization. She divulged,
“I spent six weeks in hospital due to copiously vomiting blood from a [Mallory-Weiss tear] caused by the stress of a whole year ripping a hole between my [oesophagus] and stomach.”

Kate Beckinsale attributed this flare-up to dealing with “stress, shock and grief,” which ultimately contributed to “some weight loss.” Despite taking time to explain her personal and health woes, the actress made it clear to trolls that what they thought about her appearance or perceived beauty standard did not matter to her. She added,
“I am trying to survive what feels like unbearable losses, reactivated PTSD from discovering my very young father’s almost dead body as a very young child alone in the night, and working to support the family I have left.”
The Total Recall actress also slammed another fan who spoke ill of her appearance. According to her, while she had no issues with the fan fancying heavier girls, she found it concerning that the troll believed every other woman should be apprised of the same standards just because they preferred it.” Even the seemingly concerned fans got their bit from Kate Beckinsale, who silenced them for good making it clear comments about her weight were off-limit no matter how beautifully phrased.
