Kate Beckinsale is not one to stay quiet in the face of online criticism. The “Underworld” star has once again clapped back at body-shamers, shedding more light on the health issues that landed her in the hospital earlier this year.
Back in March, Beckinsale revealed she had been hospitalized but didn’t provide details at the time. However, in a recent Instagram post, the actress opened up about her six-week hospital stay, clarifying that it was due to a hole burned in her esophagus from stress and grief, which caused her to vomit blood and made eating difficult.
In response to a comment criticizing her weight loss, Beckinsale explained that she had suffered multiple losses, including the deaths of her stepfather and beloved cat, as well as a flare-up of her mast cell disease. She made it clear that the opinion of others on her appearance was not important to her, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the bigger picture.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Beckinsale made a glamorous return to the red carpet in May at the King’s Trust Global Gala in New York City. Reflecting on what she described as a “rough year,” the actress expressed gratitude for the support of friends and the perspective they provided.
Even in the face of adversity, Kate Beckinsale remains strong and unapologetically herself. The actress’s resilience and unwavering confidence serve as a powerful message to her critics and fans alike.
