KATE Beckinsale, 47, stupendously shut down a troll who dared to tell her she “needs a man” after splitting with toyboy Goody Grace, 23.
The actress, who is no stranger to enjoying a younger man, was faced with the simplistic comment from a troll.
Kate, who is stunning and is mega successful, shared a snap with her 4.4 million Instagram followers, when one person commented: “You need a man.”
Clapping back to the keyboard warrior, the goddess revealed she had no time for their limited views.
She replied to the comment: “I can assure you no one ‘needs’ a man. It’s really a question of want one, or not xx.”
Kate and Goody enjoyed a solid nine month romance before it fizzled out.
But after six months living together, she has unfollowed him on Instagram and he has returned to his native Canada.
Kate has also deleted images from Instagram which she posted in June to celebrate his birthday.
The couple were first linked in January and were spotted holding hands on a date in California three months later.
They publicly declared their love for each other in comments on Instagram in June.
Commenting on a photo which he posted to mark turning 23, she wrote: “Happy birthday I love you.”

He replied: “I love you.”
Despite her unfollowing Goody, he is still currently following her account.
A rep for Kate has been approached for comment.
Kate – who has daughter Lily, 21, from her relationship with actor Michael Sheen, 51 – split from her husband Len Wiseman, 47, in 2015 after 11 years of marriage.
In January 2019 she started dating 26-year-old US comedian Pete Davidson, who had previously been engaged to Ariana Grande, although they separated last April.
