In a new video posted to her Instagram, Kate began: “What this has highlighted is this machine that comes into effect when a woman complains about something legitimately offensive, upsetting, harmful or anything else in this industry. I was in a movie, for example, in which at the end they called me through walkie-talkies and to my face “that idiot”, because I had said: “I find it very difficult, my co-star is drunk every day and he is obviously going through something and I fully understand it, but I’m also waiting, like the entire team, six hours a day for her to learn her lines and that means I can’t see my daughter at night for the entire movie. studio’s response was to give me a bicycle so that I could walk around the studio while I waited. And then, of course, they called me a bastard and a bastard at one point during a take, they called me a ‘stupid bitch.'”

“They gaslit me and made me feel like I was the problem”

He added: “Sometimes there is a certain type of actor who gets a thrill from being able to legally harm a woman during a fight sequence. And I got hurt, to the point where there were MRIs to prove it. And actually what happened was they turned me on and made me feel like I was the problem, blamed me and excluded me, and left me out of cast dinners, not talking to me, as soon as I mentioned there was a problem.”

She also shared, “A publicist made me do a photo shoot the day after I had a miscarriage. I told him, ‘I can’t. I’m bleeding. I don’t want to go change my clothes in front of me.'” of people I don’t know and I do a photo shoot. I’m bleeding from a miscarriage,’” Beckinsale recounted the conversation. “And she said, ‘You have to do it or they’ll sue you.’ “I have about 47 million stories similar to this,” he said. “At the age of 18, someone I really trusted on a team made me feel bad. I went with the lead actress, who is known for being a supporter of women. , and he said this had happened and they said, ‘No, it didn’t.’ I went to see another actress, crying, and told her that I had just been assaulted by this man and again I said to myself: ‘No, you haven’t.'”

She concluded by saying, “If you’re a woman and you have a legitimate complaint… like ‘someone is touching my boobs’ or ‘calling me a bitch,’ you’re screwed. If you bring that up, you’re screwed. You’re supposed to absorb it and then be the friend.” “That has to stop. And I thank Blake Lively for highlighting the fact that this is not an archaic problem… this goes on and then when it does, it activates a machine to completely destroy you.”

Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoniaccusing him of multiple crimes, including changing intimate scenes without his consent, unwanted kisses and probing into his personal life. He also claimed that Baldoni launched a smear campaign to destroy his reputation.
