So I feel really torn about letting go of it as well. But I just wanted to address the fact that I lost my stepfather a while ago, a couple years ago." Ernesto S. Ruscio / Getty Images for Campari "And I already watched my father die because my mum was in hospital and it was just me at the age of five. I watched my 31-year-old father die of a huge heart attack, and then I watched my stepfather die and I watched my mother degenerate and die." Daniele Venturelli / Getty Images for The Summer Gala by Gala One "Such an incredible amount of suffering - and what I will say, it doesn't make you feel very hungry. And I don't know if there's some kind of survivor guilt because it started after my stepdad died, and it's not like anorexia where you're starving and it's a kind of willpower thing." Stephane Cardinale - Corbis / Corbis via Getty Images "It's like your body has closed down. I think it's shock and trauma. I think watching, especially alone the people you love the most dearly suffer and have horrific and sometimes violent and awful deaths, really makes you not hungry." Tommaso Boddi/Golden Globes 2024 / Golden Globes 2024 via Getty Images "And people respond in different ways obviously," Kate continued, "but if you Google physical manifestations of grief, your appetite is probably the first one. But I will say that because of my dad and my stepdad and my mum, I am so grateful that it wouldn't occur to me to see somebody suffering and write something nasty about their appearance. It just wouldn't cross my mind. I am so grateful to have been brought up by people who raised me like that. And I really miss them." Neil Mockford / Ricky Vigil M / GC Images "And for all the people who are inconvenienced by me being too thin or not what they expect me to be like, I really wished you had parents like I had. I'm so glad that suctioning blood clots from my stepdad's bladder while he's suffering heart failure and trying to save his life and having to be the one to stop chest compressions on my mother as they broke all her ribs, has not turned me into the type of cruel piece of shit that would say the stuff that a lot of you guys say to me." Taylor Hill / WireImage "I absolutely refuse to become like it. And if that's the legacy from my parents that I would never ever do that to anyone, I am so fucking proud of it," she concluded.
