Kate Hudson is giving insight into how she copes with negativity on social media as a public figure.

In a TikTok video shared on April 15, the Almost Famous actress applied makeup while telling her followers about advice she gave older brother Oliver Hudson to deal with naysayers online.

“He was talking about how he’s afraid to say anything because he feels like things get picked up negatively … and I was like, ‘Who cares?’ And then I really started thinking about it. I’m like, people do care, actually,” said Kate, 44.

“It’s not nice when people take something out of context or they look at something you’re doing and they get all negative about it and they poke at it and they scrutinize it and they criticize it.”

Kate, who grew up in the spotlight with Oliver, 47, as the children of Oscar winner Goldie Hawn, explained that, as a celebrity, “you kind of have to get used to it because people can be so mean.”

“Then,” she continued, “you kinda realize that a lot of those people don’t really exist. Like, you go, ‘Wow, who’s this person being so mean to me on here?’ And then you go on there and they have zero followers and they have zero posts, and you’re like, ‘Oh, s—, it’s a [fake account].’ It’s either a troll or it’s someone that doesn’t even exist. Or someone’s actually legitimately trying to make you feel or look bad.”
