Kate Beckinsale: Her terrible experiences in the industry

Your bad experiences in the industry

The entertainment industry and the dream factory also have their dark sides, as many are well aware. After Blake Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against her “Just One More Time” co-star Justin Baldoni, 40, Kate Beckinsale, 51, also spoke out in a video on Instagram about several terrible situations they experienced.

Kate Beckinsale and the entertainment machine

Although the British Hollywood star has never met Lively and Baldoni, the affair highlighted “this machine” that is set in motion when a woman in the industry complains about something “offensive, upsetting, harmful or whatever.” Beckinsale then gives several examples.

For example, the actress worked on a set where she ended up being openly insulted because she said she found it difficult to work with her co-star, who was “drunk every day.” At times, she and the crew had to wait six hours a day for the unnamed star to learn his dialogue.

Entire groups of people had already stood in front of her and asked how the British woman could be “made attractive”. Twice she had to follow such a strict diet and training that she stopped having her period. And in two films she found herself in “unsafe combat situations”. They were even injured – and in response they were deliberately manipulated. You should feel like you are “the problem.”

“You have to do it or they’ll sue you.”

Beckinsale was also forced by a publicist to “do a photo shoot the day after I had a miscarriage.” They said she couldn’t because she was bleeding. The publicist insisted and said: “You have to do it or you will be sued.”

Harvey Weinstein, 72, name also appears in the video. Beckinsale suggested that the former film producer and convicted sex offender had put her on a blacklist, but that she was “one of those people who was lucky” that he hadn’t assaulted her. But when she was 18, she touched a crew member “who I really trusted.” The film’s leading actress and another actress claimed at the time that this never happened. Beckinsale was able to tell “47 million stories” of this kind and today I often see men who claim that all this has changed. However, that is not the case.

The actress is grateful to Lively for drawing attention to the fact that “this is not an archaic problem that no one is confronted with, but that it continues. And when it happens, a machine is set in motion that is designed to absolutely destroy you.” . I’m sure this is the case in other industries too and it just needs to stop.

Blake Lively: Sexual harassment and defamation of reputation

Shortly before Christmas, the US celebrity portal “TMZ”, among others, reported that Lively had filed a lawsuit against Baldoni. The available documents allege sexual harassment and a coordinated attempt to destroy the reputation of the wife of Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, 48. She said in a statement: “I hope my lawsuit will help lift the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics that harm people who speak out about wrongdoing – and protect others who may be targeted,” according to media reports Baldoni plans to file a countersuit in the new year.
