Kate Beckinsale has once again hit back at trolls who accused her of posting a “distasteful” Instagram picture.The actress, 50, posted a selfie to her 5.6 million Instagram followers with the caption: “Happy Monday.”
The next slide was a bit more provocative, however, and read: “You aren’t very lady-like are you? “Me: Suck my n*t sack mother f***er.” Some fans wrote in the comments how they felt about the post.
One said: “Oh come on Kate. The second post was distasteful. Be a little mature.” To which Pearl Harbor star Beckinsale replied: “If you are mature I def don’t want anything to do with it.” Another wrote: “What happen to that sweet girl from pearl harbor.” Beckinsale replied: “She got ig.”
It comes after the star – who this year lost her beloved cat Clive – spoke out about the constant trolling she receives on social media. On Sunday, she said while she is trolled – often by “tw*tty men” – she continues to post through the negativity in hope that there remains a “possibility of it [social media] being such a loving and positive force”.
To make her point, Beckinsale shared a short clip from an appearance she made on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
She told how after being on the show – which saw her tell a story about her fake sneeze – a mother of an autistic seven-year old said his first ever word.
