"I vomited blood" - That's how bad Kate Beckinsale really was
A mysterious hospital stay at Easter shocked Kate Beckinsale's 5.6 million followers: The actress (50) posted disturbing images from her hospital bed, lying in a fetal position. She has since deleted those photos from her Instagram account, but now she has spoken extensively about why she spent a total of six weeks in the hospital.
In an Instagram video, wearing a belly-free micro-shirt in soft pink with a hamster print and matching shorts, she defends her weight loss, as trolls on her profile commented that her "butt had run away."
"No, actually I was there when my stepfather (director Roy Battersby, note: the speaker) suddenly and suddenly died. My mother has had cancer since stage four, and I lost quite a bit of weight quickly due to stress and grief. I had already shared concerns about my mother Judy Loe with my followers in August 2023," she says calmly.
Kate Beckinsale: "I Bled Profusely"
Beckinsale continues, she spent six weeks in the hospital up until May of this year because the grief "burned a hole" in her esophagus, leading to profuse bleeding.
"I could hardly eat and then worked very hard on a film that also triggered me because it included the theme of my father's death. So I'm not really worried about what you think about my butt," she dismissed the user who mocked her body.
Beckinsale's Hospital Records
The London-born actress announced in March that she had been admitted to the hospital. Later, she revealed with a T-shirt that she was dealing with "gastrointestinal problems" and later explained that she had suffered a tear in her esophagus.
In the past, Beckinsale has made her health issues public. In 2019, a ruptured cyst in her ovaries was discovered. She then revealed that she suffered from mast cell activation syndrome - a systemic disease that can lead to chronic inflammatory conditions.
