The relationship between fans and celebrities can be a complicated one. Sometimes, the mutual love and support is awesome, other times it might feel a little bit one-sided, and sometimes, fans can majorly cross the line.
Kate Beckinsale learned this lesson in a way she called “pretty unsettling” and I would have to agree.

Kate Beckinsale is obviously an animal lover.
Kate’s pretty much always on Instagram to show off her two cats, Willow and Clive, and it looks like a fan may have thought she could use another pet.
In a since-deleted video, Kate showed her followers that she had received a very strange gift to her home — a live rabbit with some flowers.
“Maybe [the flowers] have a note,” Kate said in the video, clearly confused.
“Why have we got an adult rabbit suddenly?” She went on, showing the rabbit in the cage. Evidently the rabbit already had a name.
“What did he say his name was? Marvel?” Kate asked. “I feel a bit bad for Marvel being just suddenly dropped off at my house.”
“What the [expletive] is going on?” Kate asks.
In the caption of the video, Kate wrote “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE however much someone loves animals please never send an unsolicited pet to someone’s house. Especially anonymously and especially on a boiling hot day where it could have been left outside to roast to death.”
Kate called the whole thing “pretty unsettling.”
“Appreciate so much the good wishes but please please don’t send anyone an animal as a present or a joke or really at all,” she wrote.
Luckily, Kate was able to find a home for the rabbit so no animals were harmed in the making of this article!
