Kate Beckinsale reportedly wrote candidly about her body via social media.
In a since-deleted Instagram post shared by Beckinsale, 51, on Tuesday, July 1, the actress allegedly responded to an internet troll who commented on her shared bikini photos. Page Six reported on the comments later that day.
The outlet included the alleged interaction between Beckinsale and the follower which is claimed to have begun with the comment, “Oh sweetheart, I truthfully think you’ve got an issue. You don’t look good. I feel you truthfully need assistance.”
Beckinsale then reportedly responded with, “Yes I do. I’m going through one of the vital deeply painful times of my life. The body keeps the rating.”
The outlet noted that Beckinsale didn’t expand on her response any further, but did suggest that her response referenced the acclaimed book “The Body Keeps the Rating: Brain, Mind, and Body within the Healing of Trauma,” written by Bessel Van Der Kolk.
The alleged post comes lower than one month after news of Beckinsale filing a criticism that accused the producers of her 2024 film Canary Black of “negligence, battery and international infliction of emotional distress,” surfaced.

The filing claimed that Beckinsale and “her team repeatedly raised red flags regarding unsafe conditions on and off set to Defendants, including long, dangerous set days, often lasting fifteen hours, inadequate equipment and medical personnel to assist manage the high physical workload and get better from the exertion off set, and failure to adequately inform Ms. Beckinsale of what stunts she was expected to perform until often the moment she needed to perform it.”
Kate Beckinsale broke her silence about her six-week hospital stay while slamming a troll who criticized her recent weight reduction. “Let’s have a toast for the douche bags. Let’s have a toast for the assholes,” Beckinsale, 50, captioned a mirror selfie video via Instagram on Monday, July 8. “Let’s have a toast for the scumbags […]
A spokesperson for Anton Entertainment responded to the filing via a press release shared with Screen Day by day on June 19. The outlet reported that the representative said, “We follow strict safety standards on all our productions. We’re reviewing these allegations, which we imagine are meritless.”
The film was released by Prime Video in October 2024. It charts the story of Avery Graves, played by Beckinsale, who’s a CIA operative whose husband is kidnapped by terrorists. To rescue her husband, the character faces the prospect of betraying her country.
