Kate Beckinsale has wiped her Instagram feed clean after a difficult stretch online. The actress returned to Stories with a pointed response to the commentary surrounding her appearance. Her message went beyond one rude remark. Beckinsale explained why the speculation has become especially painful and signaled that her future on the platform may look very different.
People reported on Aug. 8 that Beckinsale deleted all posts from her Instagram grid before sharing a series of Stories highlighting body-shaming comments she had received. She responded to one particularly harsh message by writing, "I think people might be broken."
The actress also addressed the speculation surrounding her weight loss. Beckinsale said grief has taken a physical toll after the death of her mother, Judy Loe, in 2025 and her stepfather, Roy Battersby, in 2024. She said losing several family members in a short period had affected her body and pushed back against strangers making ****** umptions about her health.
Beckinsale also discussed mast cell activation syndrome, or MCAS, saying she was diagnosed 16 years ago. She explained that the condition can affect her stomach and that flare-ups can bring severe acid reflux. Cleveland Clinic describes MCAS as a rare condition involving repeated episodes caused by overactive mast cells.
The Underworld star said she initially hoped speaking publicly about MCAS could help raise awareness. But after receiving more criticism about her voice and appearance, she expressed regret over making the video.
