AceShowbiz - Kate Beckinsale, the 50-year-old "Underworld" star, took to Instagram to disclose the distressing reason behind her extended hospitalization earlier this year. Initially cryptic about her health scare, Beckinsale unveiled that a hole had burned through her esophagus due to intense stress and grief, causing her to vomit blood and lose a significant amount of weight.

Beckinsale's traumatic period was further compounded by witnessing her stepfather, director Roy Battersby, die shockingly and learning that her mother has stage 4 cancer. The emotional strain not only took a toll on her physical health but also triggered old wounds related to the premature death of her father, which she discovered as a child.

"I'm trying to survive what feel like unbearable losses," she shared, noting how profoundly these events affected her.

Beckinsale explained her dramatic weight loss in response to unsolicited criticism online, with one commenter even mocking that her "ass ran away." The actress responded assertively, saying, "I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite quickly," defending her appearance while addressing the emotional burden she has been enduring.

Moreover, Beckinsale has also been critiqued for her fashion choices, particularly her penchant for her skimpy outfit and oversized hair bows. Despite the criticism, she remains unapologetic and didn't hold back in expressing her frustration with the unsympathetic attitudes of her critics.

In a recent Instagram video, she donned a striking ensemble of a pink bikini bottom, matching crop top, and black platform boots, topped with a black hairpiece adorned with a large bow. "For those of you who are gonna get off on this, have a look b******," she stated, challenging naysayers who deem her style "inappropriate" for her age.

"Let's have a toast for the douche bags / Let's have a toast for the a******* / Let's have a toast for the scumbags," she additionally wrote in the caption.

When users criticize her hair accessories, Beckinsale retorts with unapologetic wit. "As I said before, take that expression off your bitter a** face," she replied to one user. To another who described her look as that of "a toddler in a pageant," she sarcastically responded, "Lucky old me."

Through her unapologetic defense and candid revelations, Kate Beckinsale highlights the importance of self-assurance and resilience in the face of adversity and internet trolls. Her journey serves as a testament to prioritizing well-being over the superficial opinions of others.
