Kate Beckinsale is spilling some spicy tea from behind the scenes of Hollywood, and it’s hotter than a summer blockbuster! After Blake Lively bravely opened the floodgates with her lawsuit against the director of It Ends With Us, Kate took to Instagram to share her own horror stories from the film set, and trust me, they’re more shocking than a plot twist in a rom-com.
Kate kicked things off by giving a shoutout to Blake, saying she’s “grateful” for Blake’s courage to remind everyone that these shenanigans aren’t just relics of the past. “This is still happening, people! Time to wake up and smell the overpriced coffee on set!”
She dove into her own wild adventures with the classic line: “So, let me tell you about my drama!” And boy, did she deliver! First up, we have a male co-star who was hitting the bottle harder than a toddler at a juice box convention. Kate bravely spoke up, only to earn herself the delightful nickname of “that c–nt.” Because, of course, standing up for yourself means you’re suddenly the villain in someone else’s bad sitcom.
“He was going through something—like trying to drink his weight in whiskey every day—but while he was perfecting his ‘I’m totally sober’ act, I was left waiting six hours for him to remember his lines!” she lamented. “Meanwhile, the studio decided the best way to make me feel better was to give me a bike! Thanks, guys, I’ll just pedal around the lot like I’m training for the Tour de France while I wait for my co-star to wake up!”
And it gets better! Kate revealed that she was put on a diet so strict it could make a rabbit weep. “I lost my periods altogether!” she exclaimed. “Twice! I mean, at this rate, I’m just a walking protein shake. This is Hollywood, not a health retreat!”
As if that wasn’t enough, she dropped the bomb that a male co-star managed to physically harm her during a fight scene. Yep, you heard that right! “There’s a special breed of actor who gets off on pretending to be tough by actually hurting women,” she quipped. “I mean, it’s like they get a kick from being able to say, ‘Look, Mom! I’m acting!’ while I’m sitting there with actual MRIs proving I’m not a human punching bag. Spoiler alert: I’m not a fan of being gaslit or missing out on cast dinners!”
She wrapped it all up with a mic drop moment, saying, “This is still happening, and it has been since the dawn of time! I’ve got 47 million stories like this—my own personal Survivor: Hollywood Edition! At 18, I was violated by someone I thought I could trust, and when I went to the lead actress for help, she told me, ‘Nah, you’re imagining things.’”
Kate ended with a passionate plea, “If you dare to speak out, you’re totally f–ked! You’re supposed to just suck it up like a sponge at a dishwashing convention. But that has to stop! So, massive kudos to Blake for keeping the conversation alive and reminding us that the machine of silence is still very much in operation. Let’s hit the brakes on this nonsense!”
