British actress Kate Beckinsale has leveled serious accusations against the Hollywood industry, claiming she was dropped by her agent after liking a post about a ceasefire in Gaza.
Her statements came in the comments of a post by Mark Ruffalo, who was promoting the film "Palestine 36." Beckinsale openly criticized the actor, saying he did not respond when she tried to contact him after being let go.
"It must be nice when your agent doesn't drop you for liking a post about a ceasefire," she wrote, implying a double standard in the industry.
The actress went further, linking the situation to gender inequality in Hollywood.
According to her, the fact that she was dropped while Ruffalo was not shows a clear privilege for men in this industry.
In her response, Beckinsale also mentioned the case of Susan Sarandon, who previously stated she had been placed on a "blacklist" due to her public stances.
She also revealed that at the time of the dismissal, she was going through a very difficult personal period. According to her, her mother, Judy Loe, had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and had little time to live, while her stepfather, Roy Battersby, was facing serious health issues that later led to his death.
"I was preparing to fly to England to care for her and received the dismissal in two sentences," she wrote, emphasizing that this happened after 12 years of collaboration with her agent.
However, Beckinsale stressed that she does not personally blame Ruffalo, even though she felt ignored. She described this as an example of "male privilege," which she believes exists even among people considered "good."
Her statements have opened a new debate on freedom of expression, the impact of political stances on careers, and double standards within the film industry.
