Kate Beckinsale has recalled being forced to attend a photo shoot the day after she suffered a miscarriage. The 51-year-old actress candidly recounted being forced by an unsympathetic publicist to complete the planned photography shoot despite what she was still going through, both physically and mentally.
In a video clip shared via Instagram, the star recalled: ‘[I was] forced by a publicist, that I was employing, to do a photo shoot the day after I’d had a miscarriage. ‘I said, “I can’t. I’m bleeding. I don’t want to go and change my clothes in front of people I don’t know and do a photo shoot. I’m bleeding out a miscarriage.” She was like, “You’ll have to, or you’ll be sued”.’.

Beckinsale also revealed that she had suffered other abuse in the industry over the years, including being ‘gaslit’ when she complained about an ‘unsafe fight situation on two different films’ that left her injured – to the point where she had MRI scans to prove it.
However, she claimed she found herself being ‘blamed and ostracised’ for speaking out, which included being left out of cast dinners. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video.

The Serendipity star also gave instances of verbal abuse on set from her past, as well as more than one instance of being put on a diet and exercise programme ‘so strict that I lost my period altogether’. She explained she had found the courage to speak up about her experiences over the weekend in light of Blake Lively’s lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni.
