Kate Beckinsale accuses massage therapist of sexual assault

Abramovic, who runs The Bionic Method massage spa in West LA, strongly denies the claims and no charges have been filed Daily Mail Reports.

“I just want to be clear: I did not attack her at all. “I categorically reject these allegations,” he told the New York Post.

“In the five years I have been running Bionic, I have never had this type of complaint from anyone I have treated. Over the years, I have treated hundreds of women without incident. I’m not trying to defame Kate at all.

“It’s strange to me that this is happening. I’d like to think this is just a misunderstanding.”

Abramovic describes the Bionic Method as a massage aimed at “releasing emotional and energetic blockages,” using psychosomatic practices to heal physical pain.

Beckinsale addressed her alleged sexual assault on Instagram by sharing an image with the caption, “Boys will be held accountable for their damn actions.” She tagged @survivorsofsexualassault in the upload.

Beckinsale also took screenshots of Yelp reviews from Abramovic’s previous clients that claimed he “targeted” women and that “something immediately felt strange” when they visited his building.

Abramovic, meanwhile, claims Beckinsale never intended for him to pay for her treatment, claiming on his Instagram: “Over a two week period, Kate Beckinsale planned [US]$2700 worth of sessions with me, with the promise of paying us later.

“But after her last session, she completely ghosted us.”

Abramovic said Page Six that Bionic Method clients remain “fully clothed” during sessions, adding: “I will touch people at non-invasive points; it’s all external… I don’t rub my hands up and down. It is essentially stretch therapy, sound therapy and breathwork. It’s completely above average.”

When Beckinsale first used the Bionic Method on August 2, Abramovic said he offered to leave a camera on during the session because people often like to rewatch the recording to reflect on their experience.

However, that is Happy coincidence Star reportedly declined the recording, citing privacy concerns.

“[Abramovic] I never offered to record the session. This statement is not true,” said Beckinsale’s attorney, Marty Singer Page Six.

“I believe it is clear that the allegation that my client fabricated a police report to avoid paying money is a malicious, false and defamatory statement,” Singer added.

“The belief that my client would file a false police report and end up having to pay more money for my legal advice than this person is the most ridiculous concept I have ever heard in my legal career.”

Abramovic said he was only served a legal notice informing him of the criminal allegations after he attacked Beckinsale on social media.

“We are investigating a defamation case because it appears to be a retaliatory act after Mr. Abramovic demanded payment from Ms. Beckinsale,” said his lawyer George Shohet.

In May, Beckinsale revealed that she had suffered a Mallory-Weiss tear – a tear in the tissue of the lower esophagus – earlier this year, which resulted in a six-week hospital stay.

The actress sparked concerns after sharing several photos of herself in hospital on her Instagram in early 2024. While it was not known at the time why the star had been admitted, she later confirmed that she had suffered “a severe attack of mast cell disease” – “promoted by stress, shock and grief” following the death of her stepfather Roy Battersby.

In January, Beckinsale was hospitalized after presenting an award at the Golden Globes.
