Kate Beckinsale has furiously hit back at ‘t**tty men’ for targeting her on social media.
The actress, 50, called out the “constant nonsense and bullying” she receives in a seething post on Sunday.
She noted that while she finds it difficult to deal with the hate, she remains on Instagram because she still believes in the “possibility that it can be such a loving and positive force.”
To demonstrate this, she gave an example and shared a short clip of an appearance she made on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
She told how, after being on the show – in which she told a story about her fake sneeze – a mother of an autistic seven-year-old said his first word ever.

Kind: However, to demonstrate some good that can come from social media, she gave an example and shared a short clip of an appearance she made on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Kate wrote: ‘So those of you who have been following my stories over the last few days have certainly gained a little insight into the fairly constant nonsense and bullying I can receive quite regularly on this app.
“What I want to say first and foremost is that I am overwhelmed by the number of supportive and incredible messages I have received from kind strangers, which are two million percent bigger than the gaps.
“The second is this, and the reason why I think social media has the ability to be such a loving and positive force: A few years ago I went to @fallontonight and told this story about my fake sneeze.
‘I received a DM about a week later (which was unfortunately lost) from a woman who said her autistic 7 year old son had been completely non-verbal forever, and then became obsessed with this sneeze clip, and kept going over it to ask. and then suddenly he said the first word he had ever said in his life and the word was ‘Achoo.’
She added: “Can I thank you all and especially that lady who I wish would message me again so I can thank her properly.
“They and you are the reason I stay here and why I think that people are ultimately good and that the chance to connect with strangers can be such an incredible gift.
‘Unless you’re a farty man who thinks women should stay in the kitchen or something else irritating, in which case it’s a gift in the sense of a poop wrapped in sweaty cling film. I love you, you the good ones, you the achoo-ing ones xxx.”
It comes after Kate debuted a second tattoo tribute to her late cat Clive, following his recent death.

Her beloved feline passed away in June and she recently unveiled her first ink in his memory.
Earlier this month, the actress revealed her second tattoo in honor of Clive: an outline of his eyes on the back of her shoulder.
On Instagram, Kate shared photos of herself wearing a white strapless garment, purposefully showing off her new body art.
She wrote next to it: ‘How can a light that burned so bright suddenly burn so pale. love you always.”
Last month, Kate showed off her first tattoo tribute to Clive, featuring incredibly fine line drawings from LA-based tattoo artist Dr. Woo.
Sharing photos on Instagram, she revealed that Clive’s adorable face was inked on her forearm, surrounded by an intricate star design.
Alongside the photos, Kate wrote: ‘This really helped. Thank you very much, @_dr_woo_’
Kate first brought Clive home over ten years ago. She previously said he was “quite old” and about 15 or 16 years old.
While announcing the tragic news about Clive in June, the actress explained that she “didn’t have it in her yet to make a montage or even look at pictures of him.”
“Every part of my house feels like it belongs,” she captioned a selfie of herself cradling her adorable feline, who wore a pink pig-print onesie.
‘If someone expects something from me, it may not be the case for a while, and I’m sorry for that.’
“My heart is absolutely and completely broken,” she concluded.
“We got it when my daughter (Lily Sheen, now 20) was little,” she said People in 2019. “And he’s usually shaved into a strange shape, but he recently survived cancer.”
While speaking to the outlet about Clive’s personality, the mother of one raved that his “favorite things in the world are suitcases, boxes and bags.”

Memories: Kate first brought Clive home more than a decade ago and his luxurious life was extensively documented on the artist’s social media
“If you bring home a pair of sneakers or a bag, it goes right in,” she said. “So we bought him this trunk bed, and he likes it so much.”
The actress also stated that she prefers cats because they are “easier” to care for than dogs, adding, “You don’t have to walk around with a bag of poop like you do with a dog, which I hate have to walk around. with a bag of poop,” she mused.
Clive’s life of luxury was extensively documented on the artist’s social media, which is full of photos of him dressed in hilarious costumes, traveling on private planes and staying by her side through thick and thin.
In many of her posts, which featured Clive, he was wearing pink nail polish, funny hats, posing with props or even coordinating looks with Beckinsale.
