Kate Beckinsale Calls Out the 'Fairly Constant' Bullying She Gets from Men on Instagram

The actress said she is still "overwhelmed by the number of supportive and incredible messages I have received from kind strangers"

Kate Beckinsale is looking on the bright side of social media despite dealing with "constant" Instagram bullies.

On Sunday, the actress, 50, wrote in a caption that her followers have recently seen "a little insight into the fairly constant f---wittery and bullying that I can receive pretty regularly on this app."

"What I want to say is first of all, I have been overwhelmed by the number of supportive and incredible messages I have received from kind strangers that outnumber and outweigh the a--holes by two million percent," she wrote.

With the post, Beckinsale shared a video from a 2019 appearance she made on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to highlight a positive interaction she had on social media.

In the clip, she demonstrates her ability to fake sneeze. Beckinsale said a woman once reached out to her on Instagram to tell her that her son who has autism was fond of the clip.

"[The woman said her son] then became obsessed with this sneezing clip, kept requesting it over and over, and then suddenly said the first word he has ever said in his life and the word was 'Achoo,' " she recalled.

"May I thank all of you and most particularly that lady who I wish would message me again so I can thank her properly," Beckinsale added. "She and you are why I stay on here and why I feel people are ultimately good and the chance to connect with strangers can be such an incredible gift."

The Prisoner's Daughter actress also called out the men with whom she has held negative experiences on social media.

"Unless you are a farty t---- man who thinks women should stay in the kitchen or some other irritant in which case it’s a gift in the sense of a poo wrapped in some sweating cling film," she wrote. "Love you, you the good ones, you the achoo-ing ones xxx"

Beckinsale has clapped back to people trolling her on Instagram in the past. In 2019, she told Women's Health about how she struggles with strangers weighing in on her personal life via social media.

"If everyone’s s----ing on you, it can make you kind of ugh for a minute — especially if there’s really nothing wrong,” she said at the time. “If you’re strangling a squirrel or hurting someone, I get it, but living one’s life in a reasonably respectful manner shouldn’t invite anyone to get too excited."

Beckinsale added of her online persona, "I’m not a social-media person, but it’s nice to have this little corner that’s my vibe."
