“Do you realize that when you feel compelled to accuse someone, especially someone you’ve never met, or ascribe a motive without ever having encountered that person, what you’re truly accomplishing is disclosing something about yourself or your own insecurities?” stated the Love and Friendship actress.
Beckinsale directly spoke to the critic, emphasizing the importance of establishing “more positive boundaries” regarding body image, “as one woman to another.”
“If you’re young and anxious about growing older, don’t be,” she stated. “The individuals or the media outlets that are instilling fear in you about your worth being linked to youth, or indeed anything that is presently beyond your grasp, are distractions that I sincerely hope you permit yourself to disregard,” she expressed.
Beckinsale also mentioned that she couldn’t fathom the level of unhappiness the individual might be experiencing to have posted such a comment. She conveyed, “Sending affection and a genuine wish that you interpret this message in the intended spirit.” She expressed, “I believe you have more to contribute than leaving spiteful remarks, which shed more light on your own character than on the individuals you decide to comment on.”
Many of Beckinsale’s Instagram followers commended her for her “gracious” and “considerate” reply.
One individual remarked, “Thank you for demonstrating how women should support one another and offer empathy instead of tearing them down.”
“Instead of responding with more negativity and animosity, you chose to reply with love,” another person noted.
In a different Instagram post where Beckinsale was pictured in a bikini at the beach, someone commented that they thought the actress was experiencing a mid-life crisis.
Beckinsale promptly responded with her characteristic wit, saying, “Oh! I think that’s because you’re an irritating individual.”
