Kate Beckinsale response to social media criticism
Overview
Actress Kate Beckinsale faced online criticism and body-shaming regarding her physical appearance and recent weight loss. In response to accusations of using weight-loss drugs or having an eating disorder, Beckinsale deleted her Instagram posts and addressed the situation via Instagram Stories.
She attributed her weight loss to two factors: the bereavement following the deaths of her mother, Judy Loe, and her stepfather, Roy Battersby, noting that “weight loss is one of the very first physical signs of bereavement.” Additionally, she disclosed her diagnosis of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), an autoimmune condition she has managed for 16 years. Beckinsale described the nature of MCAS and encouraged those with similar symptoms to consult medical professionals. Regarding the online criticism, she stated, “I think people might be broken,” and indicated she might step back from the platform.
