Another day, another Internet troll thatKate Beckinsalehas hilariously shut down.
Weeks after the British actress stepped out withPete Davidson— first, at aGolden Globes afterpartyand later, at hisstand up comedy show— Beckinsale, 45, slammed another Instagram user who criticized her for her rumored romance with Davidson.
On Saturday, Beckinsale shared aclose-up selfie to Instagramwith only a portion of her face showing.
She captioned the shot with, “Here’s what I got from five years of biology class : ‘mollusc’ is Latin for ‘soft flesh’ and how to identify and label a urethra. Neither has kicked in yet as useful as of today”
Her post prompted a follower to comment on the photo with their own disapproving thoughts about Beckinsale’s dating life.
The exchange also led to some of Beckinsale’s followers to instantly come to her defense.
“Everyone is entitled to make their own dating choices, @katebeckinsale included,” wrote one fan.
“Your relationships are none of our business, but I do hope you find happiness because nothing is more important,” added someone else.

Most recently, the actress responded to another fan who asked her about Davidson, alongside an image of her posing next to a photo of the lateFreddie Mercury.
“Trying to look like someone who was not wildly over excited about this picture or startled while planning a sneaky lick of Freddie’s eyeball,” Beckinsale captioned the shot.
The commenter then wrote, “Is that a painting ofPete Davidson?” to which Beckinsale jokingly responded, “GREAT EYE”
