Kate Beckinsale says she has been ‘assaulted’ and ‘felt up’ on film sets

The actor has posted a video describing her bad experiences in the industry, in response to Blake Lively, who also alleges mistreatment on a movie set

Kate Beckinsale, the British star of films such as Love & Friendship, Canary Black and the Underworld series, has posted a video on social media in response to Blake Lively, who is involved in a legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. Beckinsale says that, while she has never met Lively or Baldoni, she has been “following as a lot of people have, the situation”, and that it highlights “this machine that goes into effect when a woman complains about something legitimately offensive, upsetting, harmful, whatever, in this industry”. Beckinsale describes the behaviour of a “drunk” male co-star whose inability to learn his lines caused extensive delays, meaning she was unable to see her young daughter during the shoot.
