Kate Beckinsale came to the defense of Ben Affleck after getting candid about a mystery 'drunk' co-star who had been 'rough with her' on set in the past. The Underworld actress, 51, recently spoke out about the 'toxic' environment while working on the 2001 film Pearl Harbor in the wake of Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

She told her followers in an Instagram video shared on Monday that she had been 'ostracized' for speaking out on the incident — and reflected on other harrowing experiences she's had in the industry. Some social media users jumped to the comment section to speculate that Kate could have been talking about Affleck — who was one of the leading stars in Michael Bay's war drama.

'I am not going to go into any more specific detail on who it was or wasn't because frankly the most problematic part has actually not been the actors, it has been that reporting a problem or an abuse has resulted in a greater punishment than one could ever imagine.'.
