Overview

  • On July 1, Beckinsale shared and later deleted bikini photos on Instagram where she attributed her recent weight loss to a “deeply painful” period in her life and referenced the trauma book The Body Keeps the Score.
  • She directly responded to body-shaming trolls, telling critics they have no insight into her private struggles.
  • In a lawsuit filed May 21 in Los Angeles Supreme Court, the 51-year-old actress accused Anton Entertainment and producer John Zois of negligence, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
  • The complaint details unsafe conditions—including 15-hour workdays, inadequate medical personnel and surprise stunt orders—that allegedly caused severe trauma to her left knee.
  • Anton Entertainment issued a statement affirming strict safety protocols on its productions and dismissing the lawsuit’s allegations as meritless.
