Kate Beckinsale expresses her gratitude to Blake Lively for voicing her concerns, shares her own horror stories from movie sets

Kate Beckinsale is sharing her own horror stories from movie sets following Blake Lively‘s lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.

The Underworld actress said in an Instagram video that she is “grateful” to Blake “for highlighting this is not an archaic problem no one is facing. This is continuing.”

“I will say, what is highlighted is this machine effect when a woman complains about something legitimately offensive, upsetting, harmful or whatever in this industry,” Kate began before sharing some specific stories.

The first story that Kate told involved a male co-star who was “drunk everyday” on set and how she was referred to as “that c–nt” for speaking up for herself.

“He was going through something. I have sympathy for that, but I was waiting, as was the crew, for six hours a day for him to learn his lines,” Kate said. “It means I’m not getting to see my daughter in the evenings the whole movie. The studio’s response was to give me a bike so I could ride around the studio lot while I was waiting. And then, of course, I was called a c–t and a bitch. During a take I was called a ‘stupid bitch.’”

Kate talked about how she has been put on strict diet and exercise plans that have wrecked havoc on her body.

“I was put on such a strict diet-and-exercise program on one movie that I lost my periods altogether — that’s happened twice,” she said.

Kate claims that a male co-star even physically harmed her during a fight scene.

“There’s a certain kind of actor who gets a thrill out of legally being able to harm a woman during a fight sequence,” she said. “And I was harmed, to the point where there were MRIs proving it. I was gaslit and made to feel like I was the problem and blamed and left out of cast dinners as soon as I mentioned there was a problem.”

Kate concluded by talking about problems with the industry as a whole.

She said, “This is going on. This has been going on forever. I have 47 million stories similar to this. I was 18 and felt up by somebody that I really trusted on a crew. I went to the lead actress, who was known for being a supporter of women, and said this is happening and was told, ‘No, it didn’t.’ I went to another actress and said I’d just been assaulted by this man and told, ‘No, you haven’t been.’”

Kate added, “If you mention it, you’re f–ked. It’s supposed to be, you absorb it and somehow you’re the homie. That has to stop. I am grateful to Blake Lively for highlighting this is not an archaic problem no one is facing. This is continuing. When it does happen a machine goes in place to absolutely destroy you.”
