Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale, 51, known for the movie 'Pearl Harbor', recently addressed concerns regarding her rapid weight loss on social media. She confessed, "I am going through the most painful time in my life right now," adding, "My body reacted first."
Beckinsale deleted several photos of herself in a swimsuit that she had posted on her social media on the 1st (local time). The post attracted comments from fans worried about her thin body, and one internet user directly expressed concern, saying, "You seem like you need help. You don’t look well."
In response, Beckinsale said, "Yes. I am going through the deepest and most painful time in my life right now. 'The body remembers'" as she revealed her feelings. This quote refers to the bestselling book 'The Body Keeps the Score' by VESSEL, which deals with traumatic stress.
She also shared a photo with her daughter Lily Mo Sheen, 26, and her pets in the post, stating, "This doesn't reflect my life right now exactly, but it was a very appreciative short break." Beckinsale seemed bright as she described it as a "trip with the girls," but she did not hide the mental pain underlying it.
Beckinsale was hospitalized last March due to a hole in her esophagus, and she faced a series of misfortunes in January of the same year, including the death of her long-time stepfather, Roy Batterbee, and her mother battling stage 4 cancer. At that time, she explained, "I rapidly lost weight due to stress and sorrow."
As negative comments about her weight continued, she responded, "It’s not criticism, but unnecessary words thrown when you know nothing about me," and added, "Next time, please keep those words to yourself."
Meanwhile, fans sent messages of support, saying, "I’m worried about her heart, not her body," "Her noble beauty like Audrey Hepburn remains," and "I hope everything gets better."
