Kate Beckinsale Slams Trolls Over Weight Comments
11 Aug
Summary
- Beckinsale revealed her weight loss due to grief and illness.
- She cited her mother's and stepfather's recent deaths.
- An autoimmune condition, MCAS, also affects her appearance.
Actress Kate Beckinsale is publicly addressing negative online comments about her weight and appearance. She recently shared that her reduced weight is a result of significant grief following the deaths of close family members.
Beckinsale's mother, Judy Loe, died of cancer in July 2025, and her stepfather, Roy Battersby, passed away in January 2024. These profound losses have deeply affected her, contributing to her physical changes.
In addition to grief, Beckinsale disclosed that she lives with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). She was diagnosed with this autoimmune condition 16 years ago, and it also influences her appearance. She previously spoke about this diagnosis in 2023.
Beckinsale has asked for greater compassion online, urging individuals to be more considerate of others' circumstances. She advocates for kindness and suggests refraining from negative comments if one has nothing positive to say.
