Kate Beckinsale had the perfect response to trolls who said she’s too old to post bikini pictures
Comeback of the week goes to Kate Beckinsale who was trolled by people who said she was too old to post pictures of herself wearing a bikini on Instagram.
We have to confess we don’t follow the actress but by all accounts there’s no shortage of pictures like this (and lots of other stuff too, we have no doubt).
And this.
Anyway, some people suggested she was too old to be doing this sort of thing, and naturally let her know about it because that’s what people do in 2019.
And fortunately for everyone concerned she let them know exactly what she thought of that.
A bunch of other people came out the woodwork …
… so Beckinsale decided a slightly longer post was required, and people loved her for it.
‘Are you aware that when you get the urge to accuse someone of something, especially someone you don’t know, or attribute an intention without ever having met the person, that the only thing really being achieved is revealing something about yourself or something you fear about yourself?
‘I don’t know you and I don’t know who has made you feel that if you get older you have no value, can’t be attractive or sexy or have a relationship with your body that isn’t only self loathing, but as one female to another, don’t let any of that noise bother you. You’ll feel more powerful, may well physically blossom, know who you are and what you want and get good at setting healthier boundaries.
‘If you’re young and fearing getting older, don’t. It’s not at all how people scare you it will be especially for a woman. You’ll come into your own power in a way that feels steady and so many more things will feel possible. The people or press that are scaring you that your value is tied up in youth, or in fact anything that is not currently within your reach, is noise I do hope you allow yourself to ignore.
‘If you’re older and fearing less is available to you, it actually isn’t, don’t let that limit you in anything. I can’t imagine how unhappy you must feel to leave comments like this. People have all sorts of things going on that they put a brave face on and you’d never know. Sending love and the really hope you receive this message in the spirit that it’s meant. I know you have more to offer than leaving mean comments that illuminate far more about you than they do about the people you choose to comment on.’
And here are just a few of the things people said about it.
