Kate Beckinsale Says She Was “Forced” to Do Photo Shoot While “Bleeding” After a Miscarriage – E! Online

Beckinsale—who was married to director Len Wiseman from 2004 to 2019—believes that many women share similar experiences, which she said inspired her to speak out.

“This has been going on forever. I’ve got about 47 million stories similar to this,” she added. “On the whole, you’re f–ked. If you mention it, you’re f–ked. It’s supposed to be that you absorb it, and somehow, then you’re the homie. That’s got to stop.”

And while she doesn’t know Lively or Baldoni personally, Beckinsale said she was “grateful” to the Gossip Girl actress for “highlighting the fact that this is not an archaic problem that no one’s facing” by filing a complaint against Baldoni earlier this month.

According to the filing obtained by E! News, Lively accused the director and star of showing her nude videos of women, discussing his alleged “pornography addiction” and “sexual conquests,” as well as creating a campaign to “destroy” her reputation. Baldoni’s attorney has called her allegations “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt.”
