She also notes that all of the negativity has begun to take a “toll” on her.Â
“I hate talking about this because I hate adding to this conversation but I’m doing it because insidious bullying of any kind over time takes a toll,” she said in the post.
“I am accused of having had unrecognizable surgery/using Botox using fillers/being obsessed with looking younger. And it’s really such a tiresome and subtly vicious way to bully a person. I don’t actually do any of those things”
Kate Beckinsale Claps Back At Critics
Beckinsale also noted that the negative comments being hurled at her began to become tiresome. So tiresome that she even had a plastic surgeon come out publicly to confirm that she did not have any work done.
“I’ve even gone to the trouble of having a plastic surgeon categorically state that I don’t and haven’t, and still, every time there’s a chorus of my God, you’re unrecognizable. Oh my God PLASTIC, oh my God, you don’t even look like yourself anymore,” Beckinsale added.
A multitude of people on social media have commented on Beckinsale’s new appearance. However, the actress notes that the majority of the hateful comments that she has received have mainly come from other women.Â
“It happens constantly and it’s usually women who are doing it. Life happens -obviously, I have aged, everybody ages.”
Beckinsale Makes Revelation About Father’s Death
Beckinsale found her late father dead when she was just five years old. The actress revealed that the traumatic event led to “crippling anxiety,” later on in life. And for that reason, aging has never been that much of a priority.
“I’m not too concerned about aging because I found my father dead at the age of 5,” she added.
“And I spent most of my teenage years and a good deal of my 20s crippled with severe anxiety and panic attacks [thinking] that I was going to die of a heart attack too and went to emergency rooms often, and was almost, at that time of my life, completely immobilized by that anxiety.”
