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 she has been “assaulted” and “felt up” on film sets, and was insulted and called “a cunt” and “a bitch” when she complained.
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”.
