On Tuesday, the Underworld actress shared a since-deleted post that included several images of herself in bikinis.
鈥淥h sweetheart, I honestly think you have a problem!!!鈥 one follower wrote in the comments. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 look good. I think you honestly need help.鈥
The star responded, 鈥淵es I do. I鈥檓 going through one of the most deeply painful times of my life. The body keeps the score.鈥
Though Beckinsale, 51, did not elaborate further, she referenced Bessel van der Kolk鈥檚 best-selling book on trauma, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.
n a video clip, the actress appeared extremely slim while walking her dog in a pair of daisy dukes, black platform boots and a black bikini top.
The actress further hinted at turmoil in the caption of her post, which also included photos of her pets and lookalike daughter Lily Mo Sheen, 26.
鈥淕irls trip with my girls,鈥 Beckinsale wrote. 鈥淭his is not an accurate depiction of how life is right now but a brief and precious reprieve from other things for which I am extremely grateful x.鈥
While some fans expressed concern, one fan emphasised, 鈥淗ow about we stop talking about her weight because you don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 going on in her life. You鈥檙e beautiful and you remind me of Audrey Hepburn.鈥
Another remarked, 鈥渁lways love and respect you, Kate. I hope everything gets better soon.鈥
Beckinsale previously clapped back at trolls who insisted she had lost 鈥渢oo much weight.鈥
In a since-deleted Instagram post from January, one person wrote, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not a criticism, but I think you鈥檝e lost too much weight lately.鈥
The actress fired back, 鈥淚f it鈥檚 not a criticism, it鈥檚 a passive aggressive completely unnecessary opinion from someone I don鈥檛 know who knows nothing about my circumstances. So next time you feel like commenting on someone鈥檚 body, I suggest you keep it to your f鈥搆ing self.鈥
Beckinsale was hospitalised with a mystery illness in March 2024, which she later revealed to be due to a hole in her oesophagus.
She got candid about her hospital stay via social media in July 2024 while clapping back at a troll commenting on her weight.
At the time, Beckinsale claimed she lost weight due to the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, and her mom鈥檚 stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
鈥淚 lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite quickly,鈥 she told a commenter.
