2024

Kate looked fierce in a tight silver off-the-shoulder dress featuring a draping skirt at the Netflix SAG Celebration in February 2024.

Three months later, the actress took to Instagram with two videos of herself as she slammed online trolls for their “insidious bullying” over her appearance.

“Every time I post anything – and by the way, this has been the case since I was about 30 – I am accused of having had [unrecognizable] surgery /using Botox using fillers /being obsessed with looking younger, and it’s really such a tiresome and subtly vicious way to bully a person,” Kate wrote alongside the videos. “I don’t actually do any of those things – I’ve even gone to the trouble of having a plastic surgeon categorically state that I don’t and haven’t.”

She added that she was “not too concerned about aging.”

“The fact that one of the major things I am bullied about is an assumption that I can’t handle the idea of getting older is so deeply ironic when my all consuming terror was that I never thought I’d even see the end of my 20s,” she continued. “As you can see from these two videos, what is different is that I lived in the U.K. and was paler. I used to pluck the s–t​​ out of my eyebrows, I loved that brown lipstick that everybody wore. I had a fuller face, as most of us do in our late teens and 20s. Makeup techniques were matte, not nearly so glossy.”

Kate concluded by pleading with fans to “please stop now.”
