Kate Beckinsale is going through a “deeply painful” time — and it’s manifesting physically.
The Underworld star took to Instagram on Tuesday to share — and then promptly delete — a carousel of new photos showing off a dramatically slimmed down physique. The post featured pics and videos of her in bikinis posing with her pets and the signature bow she’s become fond of in recent years. And while she may be sporting a smile in the shots, she made it clear she’s going through something troubling. The 51-year-old captioned her post:
“Girls trip with my girls. This is not an accurate depiction of how life is right now but a brief and precious reprieve from other things for which I am extremely grateful x”

It didn’t take long for netizens to begin commenting on her slender figure. One user wrote, “Oh sweetheart, I honestly think you have a problem!!! You don’t look good. I think you honestly need help.” And heartbreakingly, Kate saw the comment and AGREED. She responded:
“Yes I do. I’m going through one of the most deeply painful times of my life.”
The Total Recall star did not elaborate, but did simply yet powerfully write:
“The body keeps the score”
That’s a reference to Bessel van der Kolk‘s book The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. She’s saying trauma is taking its toll.
This is a far cry from the athletic build Kate has become famous for over the years… And even from the slender figure she’s been sporting more recently amid some of her personal struggles. Last year, she unfortunately lost her “soulmate cat of almost 19 years” and her stepfather Roy Battersby, and revealed her mother Judy Loe is battling Stage 4 cancer.
So incredibly difficult to deal with back-to-back… But to make matters even worse, she had a six-week hospital stay after sustaining a Mallory-Weiss tear in her esophagus. And to top it all off, she later accused trauma “healer” Nick Abramovic of sexual assault and battery.
It was just an awful year for the Pearl Harbor star, and unfortunately it’s taking a toll on her… We really hope she seeks help and gets healthy both physically and mentally again. Our hearts are with her.
