Kate Beckinsale shared a series of cryptic posts on Instagram on September 20, including a black-background image reading “bye” and an Instagram Story containing the words “Congratulations you won. I give up.” The posts also included a reference to Caroline Flack. The actress had not publicly explained the meaning of the posts at the time they were reported, and the posts were subsequently deleted from her account.
Beckinsale, 53, has spoken publicly in prior interviews about PTSD, grief following the death of her mother, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Those disclosures had led to her wellbeing being a subject of attention among her following.
Fans responding to the posts expressed concern, with many asking others to check on the actress. The responses reflected worry rather than a routine engagement with her account.
Beckinsale has not made any formal announcements about upcoming projects in conjunction with the posts.
