Kate Beckinsale Tearfully Addresses Weight Loss in Video Blaming Grief for Making Her "Not Hungry"

Kate Beckinsale says her drastic weight loss is due to grief and trauma after losing her mother and stepfather, not an eating disorder, and condemns online cruelty.

  • Posting an emotional Instagram video Wednesday, Kate Beckinsale addressed her drastic weight loss as a 'physical manifestation of grief' after losing stepfather Roy Battersby and mother Judy Loe.
  • Explaining the cause, Beckinsale said the weight loss results from shock and trauma as her body has closed down, causing a loss of appetite rather than an eating disorder.
  • Blasting critics, Kate Beckinsale told social-media critics to keep 'nasty' comments to their f–king self and said she 'absolutely refuse to become' cruel, crediting her parents.
  • The moment renewed discussion about celebrity weight scrutiny, as supporters on Instagram flooded the post with love and Kelly Osbourne responded to similar comments earlier this month.
  • Looking at longer-term effects, Kate Beckinsale recalled finding her father dead at age five and said `It doesn't make you feel very hungry, and I don't know if there's some sort of survivor's guilt because it started after my stepdad died`.
