Kate Beckinsale’s clap-back at a troll is the best thing to happen this week

Trolls gonna troll, but that doesn’t mean celebrities always have to put up with them. Not when they take it a step too far and forget that these are actual people whose lives and appearances they’re commenting on. Sometimes, as Kate Beckinsale reminded everyone over the weekend, you’ve just got to put these people in their place.When the Underworld star shared some pictures of herself looking pretty fierce at the Women in Hollywood party at the Soho House in Los Angeles on Feb. 7, she probably felt cute with her wavy curls and billowy white frock. But because you can’t always have nice things, two—yep, two—trolls immediately felt the need to bring her down. What neither of them bargained for however, was the queen of killer comebacks actually responding.“Looking like Madame Tussaud’s artificial puppets,” one user wrote for no apparent good reason, to which Beckinsale replied, “Let’s swap so I can look like a bald c--ty man.”Shut. Down.

The second user seemed to have a little more context to their hate. A user by the name of @lisaanne2525 appeared to take issue with Beckinsale’s response to the first troll and to her display of PDA with ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson at a hockey game nearly a year ago. And so they jumped into the action too.[video_embed id='5264004918001']RELATED: Kate Beckinsale has never had a full glass of alcohol[/video_embed]“Diplo: fake-fake-fake and fake. Kate Beckinsale: you can’t handle the truth…w/o lashing out like an injured scorpion…not a good look honey…kind of like when you were playing tonsil hockey with Pete Davidson at the Lakers game.”“I love it when you call me honey,” Beckinsale simply shot back, while someone else pointed out how the lip-locking took place at a hockey game, not a Lakers game. “All the different types of hockey are legitimately confusing,” Beckinsale added.This isn’t the first time the actor has stood up for herself on social media, despite her apparent love-hate relationship with the platform. Fans remember the 46-year-old’s response to haters last November when she posted some bikini-clad photos from Cabo. Apparently that meant she was going through a “midlife crisis,” according to one comment, and that she was “too old” and just “looking for attention,” according to another.“Oh! I think that's because you're an annoying a—hole,” Beckinsale said to the first, before unleashing some deeper thoughts to the second.[video_embed id='1895745']BEFORE YOU GO: Packing hacks you need to try for your next holiday[/video_embed]
