Kate Beckinsale shares harrowing Hollywood experience in wake of Blake Lively's lawsuit

Kate Beckinsale opened up about her harrowing experience in Hollywood in the wake of the sexual harassment complaint that Blake Lively recently filed against Justin Baldoni.

The 51-year-old actress took to her official Instagram account on December 30 and posted a video speaking about the abusive behavior she had faced and she has about "47million stories" to tell.

The Serendipity star noted that Lively and Baldoni's case "highlighted ... this machine that goes into effect when a woman complains about something legitimately offensive, upsetting, harmful, whatever, in this industry."

"I was forced by a publicist, that I was employing, to do a photo shoot the day after I had a miscarriage," Beckinsale recalled. "I said, "I can't. I'm bleeding. I don't want to go and change my clothes in front of people I don't know and do a photo shoot."

"'I'm bleeding out a miscarriage'. She was like, 'You'll have to, or you'll be sued'," she noted.

Sharing another on-set experience, the actress revealed, "I was put on such a strict diet-and-exercise program on one movie that I lost my periods altogether — that's happened twice."

While speaking about one more encounter Beckinsale shared that she was once called "c*** and a b****" for complaining about her “drunk co-star” who made her wait six hours

She asserted that she has been "gaslit and made to feel like I was a problem, blamed and ostracised."

"I'm grateful to Blake Lively for highlighting that this is not an archaic problem that no one's facing — this is continuing," she added. "And I'm sure that's the case in other industries as well, and it's just got to stop."
