Kate Beckinsale Says Mark Ruffalo 'Benefits from Having a Penis' After Agent Firing
Kate Beckinsale accused Mark Ruffalo of benefiting from "having a penis" after claiming her agent fired her for liking a Gaza ceasefire post on social media. Beckinsale said Ruffalo ignored her message after she reached out about the alleged firing.
Kate Beckinsale lashed out at Mark Ruffalo on social media Friday, claiming he benefits from being male in Hollywood after her agent allegedly fired her for political views.
The 52-year-old actress said she was dropped by her agent for liking a post about a Gaza ceasefire. She wrote that "it must be so nice not to be fired by your Agent for liking a post about a ceasefire and not supporting the murdering of children."
Beckinsale's comments came after Ruffalo appeared in a video supporting Palestine. According to screenshots shared by Entertainment Weekly, she reached out to Ruffalo after her alleged firing but he never responded.
The actress suggested that male actors like Ruffalo face fewer consequences for taking political stances on controversial topics. Her agent firing allegedly happened after she liked social media content supporting a ceasefire in Gaza.
Neither Ruffalo nor Beckinsale's former agent have publicly responded to her claims.
The accusation highlights how political opinions on social media can affect actors' careers differently based on gender. It shows ongoing tensions in Hollywood over speaking out on controversial topics like the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Watch for responses from Ruffalo or Beckinsale's former agent to her public accusations.
