Kate Beckinsale hits back at a troll who questioned her parenting
After an angry follower left a lengthy critique on Kate Beckinsale's latest Instagram video, the actress made sure she had the last word.
The video in question captured Beckinsale and her friends dancing along to an Adam Ant concert (as one does).
'If my seven-year-old self knew this was in her future she would have eaten several boxes of crayons from excitement and had a panic attack,' she captioned the post.
But alongside the many comments that cheered Beckinsale, one troll weaselled their way into the conversation.

'Why would you want your young daughter to jump around like a naive skimpy-dressed future problem child Kate,' the user wrote, incorrectly assuming Beckinsale was her 19-year-old daughter, Lily Sheen. 'I’m not rich, famous, celebrity, Hollywood, etc, but maybe you are actually decent actress, but properly deluded real-life parent wise.'
But – as captured by sleuthing expert @commentsbycelebs – Beckinsale penned a brilliant response.
'Ummm she’s neither skimpily dressed nor jumping around. Did you eat a lot of cheese and then have a nap?' she initially responded before adding: 'And oh sh** PS that’s me jumping around and skimpily dressed. So in fact I’m the problem child. But say that to my mum at your peril.'
