‘Queen Among Queens’: Kate Beckinsale Gratefully Acknowledges Britney Spears for Standing up Against Ageism
Actress Kate Beckinsale is feeling grateful after receiving support from pop star Britney Spears through a heartfelt Instagram post. Beckinsale had previously posted a playful video on Instagram in response to critics who suggested she should be posting more age-appropriate content.
Spears commented, “I noticed how cruel people were being about her Instagram, saying she needs to post more age-appropriate content. She’s in her fifties, and I thought it was pretty cool how she responded with a mini bow in her hair, looking like she’s 4 years old.”
In appreciation, Beckinsale shared Spears’ post on her Instagram Stories and praised her for the support. “Women supporting women is my favorite thing,” she wrote. “Thank you @britneyspears, warrior queen of all queens, for your incredibly sweet post. Sending all the love right back.”
Why did people shame Kate Beckinsale for her age?
People criticized Kate Beckinsale for her age after she posted a video on Instagram on July 8. The video showed her wearing a pink bikini bottom, a matching off-the-shoulder crop top, and black platform boots that almost reached her knees. Beckinsale also sported a black hairpiece with a large bow, which has become a signature look for her despite receiving negative comments about it.
Some individuals criticized her for not dressing according to her age. Beckinsale addressed the criticism surrounding her outfit choices and oversized hair bows in recent years.
For example, in response to a carousel of videos she shared on June 17, one user commented, “Please remove that ridiculous bow,” to which she responded assertively. Another commenter compared her to “a pageant toddler,” and she retorted, “Lucky me.”
Britney Spears: A Bold Woman We All Admire
Britney Spears doesn’t tolerate negativity from anyone in real life or online and lives life on her own terms. Recently, she responded to the Osbourne family after Ozzy Osbourne expressed frustration about seeing the singer’s dancing videos on Instagram, where she was dancing to Madonna’s “I’m Addicted.”
“I’m going to do a photoshoot with Kate [Beckinsale] and tell the Osbourne family, who are the most boring family ever, to kindly go away!!!” Spears wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.
Osbourne’s remarks about Spears were featured in a recent episode of his family’s Osbournes podcast, where his daughter, Kelly, also shared her thoughts and expressed sympathy for the pop icon.
