The video itself was a response to criticism about her not doing “age-appropriate things,” a sentiment Beckinsale has openly challenged in the past, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The situation reportedly escalated when a commenter suggested she needed to do squats because her body appeared to have changed. Beckinsale’s retort highlighted a series of traumatic personal losses contributing to her current physical state.

“So l’m [sic] not really concerned about what you think about my ass,” she continued. “Maybe you should worry about your own fucking ass. I suggest shoving something up it-like a large pineapple or a brick.”
