Words have consequences — at least that's what one Instagram user found out when criticizing Kate Beckinsale.

Recently, the actress posted a video to social media that showed her in bed talking to her cat. One of her followers found very little redeeming about the video or her, for that matter.
"You're dreadfully thin," the person wrote.
Kate wasn't about to take the mean spirited comment laying down (although she was laying down), and she fired back at the troll.
"You're wearing speedo goggles — it might be hard for you to be entirely confident about what you're seeing — much less comment about it," she clapped back, according to a screenshot captured on the Comments by Celebs Instagram page.
Kate is well known for coming back hard at her haters. Last year someone called her "too old" to be sharing bikini pictures and "looking for attention." She replied, "I can't imagine how unhappy you must feel to leave comments like this. People have all sorts of things going on that they put a brave face on and you'd never know. Sending love and the real hope you receive this message in the spirit that it's meant. I know you have more to offer than leaving mean comments that illuminate far more about you than they do about the people you choose to comment on."
Actor David Spade was also on the receiving end of a Kate clap back last after he attempted to troll her for her short romance with Pete Davidson.
"You like them young!" David wrote, alluding to Kate and Pete's 20-year age gap. He added, "(Now don't fight back and roast me just quietly stew and take the hit)."
She wrote back, "@Davidspade never gonna happen grandpa."
At the same time, another commenter said they were "disappointed" in Kate's "dating choices." She replied, "Fairly let down by your wonky beard but thought possibly rude to say."
