Kate Beckinsale has deleted all of the posts from her Instagram account after growing tired of hurtful comments about how much weight she has lost.
Kate Beckinsale has deleted all of her Instagram photos after receiving body-shaming comments.
The 53-year-old actress took to social media on Saturday (08.08.26) to highlight the hurtful comments she has received about her weight since the passing of her mother Judy Loe last year.
Kate shared a comment that read: “Loosen up the Ozempic!! You were divine now you look anorexic!”
The Pearl Harbor star responded by posting a since-deleted 13-part video where she discussed living with the rare autoimmune condition mast cell activation syndrome and how she has also suffered the loss of her stepfather Roy Battersby in January 2024.
Kate said: “As I’m sure you’re aware, anytime I post a photo of myself, I receive an enormous amount of comments telling me how disgusting I look and I’m anorexic or I’m on meth or that I’ve lost so much weight.”
She added: “First off, I’ve lost my entire family, except my precious daughter, in a short amount of time.
“The second thing is, I have a condition, which is an autoimmune condition called mast cell activation syndrome, and there’s another one called mast cell disease, and there’s mastocytosis.
“This is something I was diagnosed with 16 years ago, and I was really, really lucky that I had an amazing GP in London who called it and sent me to, at that point, the one guy in the world in New Jersey who was the expert in that.”
Beckinsale explained that her stomach is “ground zero” for how the health condition presents itself.
The Aviator star stressed that it is vital to remember we “don’t know what’s going on in people’s lives” as she highlighted recent incidents such as celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton’s self-harming and pop star Ariana Grande’s decision to step away from the spotlight when her tour ends next month.
Kate said: “Treat people just how you’d like to be treated yourself, give people a little grace. If you don’t have anything nice to say, maybe don’t say anything.
“(It’s) not necessary for everyone to know your opinion on what somebody else’s body looks like.
“You don’t want to be the last straw for somebody, you don’t want to be the thing that makes them more sick, just keep going, it’s not hard.”
