Kate Beckinsale shared a charged and lengthy post on Instagram Thursday morning in response to what she described as a “horribly cold email” from BAFTA about the death of her stepfather, TV director Roy Battersby. “So a man dead less than a week somehow has to audition in front of a committee after a decades-long career (in which he has been awarded from said organization the highest accolade they have ) to decide IF his death is worth mentioning,” Beckinsale said in the post, which was accompanied by a picture of Beckinsale and her mother with Battersby, accepting his honorary BAFTA. Battersby died last Wednesday, surrounded by family after “a brief period of illness,” according to a statement shared Monday on Beckinsale’s Instagram account.
