Kate Beckinsale Wiped Her Social Media Grid Clean
Kate Beckinsale previously shared she was suffering with PTSD.
"In the off-chance someone who follows me has the ability to check in on Kate Beckinsale, it would probably be a good idea to do that now. I hope this just means she's quitting social media," one person theorized.
Beckinsale also only shared a link in her Instagram bio about English TV presenter Caroline Flack's 2020 suicide.
"Her bio just being a link about Caroline Flack's death is pretty worrying too, I hope she's safe," someone else even tweeted.
The Van Helsing actress' questionable posts comes just weeks after she shared a message about dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Kate Beckinsale Recently Discussed Her PTSD Struggles
The British actress noted people with PTSD become 'incredibly good at masking it.'
In a now-deleted Instagram video she broadcasted earlier this month, Beckinsale noted that people who “have seen or experienced levels of horror, terror, violence” can't escape their distress, but they should be seen as “heroes.”
“A lot of those people become incredibly good at masking it,” she explained. “And it’s sad because they become so good that they get no grace whatsoever.”
She further stated those with PTSD can barely sleep because their dreams are “full of nightmares."
“Anything — smells, sounds, thoughts, feelings — can trigger them into a place that is actually like h---,” the Underworld star said. “It really is true that when you haven’t walked a mile in someone’s shoes — however fancy you think the shoes are — you have absolutely no idea what they might be carrying, masking, dealing with day and night."
