Kate's Prank: A Motherly Mischief

Kate Beckinsale recently took to Instagram to share a playful text exchange with her daughter, Lily. The actress, known for her roles in films like "Serendipity," decided to prank her 22-year-old daughter with a risqué photo. Beckinsale, who co-parents Lily with actor Michael Sheen, pretended she was set to post a suggestive image of herself on social media.

The image in question showed a pair of legs clad in fishnet stockings and black heels peeking out from under a bed. Beckinsale mischievously led Lily to believe it was her, when in fact, the photo was originally shared by Madonna on Instagram. "Do you think it’s too much that I posted this," Beckinsale texted, followed by, "The thing is, my a— looks good." Lily, slightly bewildered, replied, "I’m a little confused I must say, ...it’s also very arty."

When the Joke's on You

The 48-year-old star didn't keep the charade going for too long, eventually confessing to Lily that the photo was not of her, but of the iconic pop star. "Like I’d ever," Beckinsale quipped. "I can’t believe you can’t recognize your own mother's anus from under the bed." Lily described the playful exchange as a "ducking rollercoaster," while Beckinsale admitted to laughing so hard she snorted.


“I couldn’t even sign onto Instagram and check, I was so confused," Lily wrote. "I’m so relieved. I legit sat down to deal with that. My coworker came up and asked if I was on break.”

Despite the prank, Lily assured her mom that she wouldn’t be embarrassed if the picture were actually of Beckinsale, though she would be concerned. Kate humorously explained the improbability of her taking such a photo, concluding with a cheeky remark about her unlikely presence underneath a bed.

Madonna's Bold Statement

Madonna's original photo, which inspired Beckinsale's prank, had caused quite the stir itself, leading to its removal from Instagram due to a "violation" caused by partial nudity. The pop legend hit back by reposting the images and critiquing the platform’s censorship rules. "The reason they gave my management that does not handle my account was that a small portion of my nipple was exposed," Madonna stated. She went on to discuss societal double standards in the way women's bodies are treated compared to men's.

Madonna further expressed her frustration with societal norms, adding, "Giving thanks that I have managed to maintain my sanity through four decades of censorship... sexism... ageism and misogyny.” Her defiance resonated with many, inspiring a flurry of memes and discussions online.

While Beckinsale's playful prank highlighted the humor in the situation, Madonna's bold response was a reminder of her long-standing advocacy for self-expression and challenging societal norms.
