Kate Beckinsale’s recent weight loss has raised concerns among her fans, leading the Hollywood star to open up about the tough period she’s been facing.
The 50-year-old actress has spent weeks in the hospital due to a stress-induced tear in her esophagus, following the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, and her mother, Judy Loe’s cancer diagnosis.
At the Summer Gala by Gala One held at the Golf Club Saint-Tropez, Kate shared her feelings candidly.
“I just think people go through things in their life and we all face difficulties, and I’ve been quite transparent about mine,” she said.
She focused primarily on her mother’s condition, noting, “She’s doing OK.”
During the charity event in Gassin, France, Kate, who is also the daughter of the late Porridge star Richard Beckinsale, had an uncomfortable moment.
While discussing the charity’s goals, some guests talked over her, prompting her to exclaim, “Given that none of you are f*****g listening, I could speak to myself.”
A Stunning Appearance Amidst Challenges
Despite the personal struggles, Kate dazzled at the gala.
She wore an elegant Raisa Vanessa gown, showcasing a striking plunging neckline and a dramatic gold peplum.
Her look was completed with chunky platform heels and a voluminous 60s-inspired hairstyle.
The event aimed to raise funds for child protection and biodiversity conservation.
Addressing Weight Loss Criticism
Earlier this month, Kate confronted online trolls who criticized her weight loss.
In response to negative comments on an Instagram post, she clarified that her weight change was a result of “stress and grief” from her stepfather’s death and her mother’s cancer diagnosis.
She described a severe six-week hospital stay due to the grief-induced esophageal tear and expressed her frustration towards the insensitive remarks.
A Personal Battle
Kate’s stepfather, Roy Battersby, passed away in January after a massive stroke and a battle with two forms of cancer.
Following his death, Kate learned about her mother’s stage four cancer diagnosis.
She had been caring for her parents, who were brought from the UK to stay with her in Los Angeles.
In a recent update, a source revealed Kate’s ongoing commitment to her parents’ care.
Despite the challenges, Kate continues to navigate her personal struggles with resilience and openness.
