Open Post: Hosted By Christina Applegate Showing Up To The SAG Awards With A Cane That Read “FU MS”
A year-and-a-half ago, Christina Applegate revealed that she had been diagnosed with MS at age 49. At the time, she’d just started filming the third and final season of Netflix’s Dead to Me. Production took a hiatus so Christina could get treatment and process her “loss of life.” Five months later, she returned to set and fought like hell to finish filming despite her mobility issues. Christina’s performance was nominated for a 2023 SAG Award for Female Actor in a Comedy Series. People reports that, last night, 51-year-old Christina showed up to the awards accompanied by her 12-year-old daughter, Sadie, and a walking cane emblazoned with the hashtag “FU MS”. I’m not gonna lie to ya; when I first saw “FU MS”, I thought that was the name of the type of multiple sclerosis she was battling. But, no, you moron (said to mirror), Christina’s saying, “Fuck you, MS!” Continue reading
Christina Applegate Checked Someone On Social Media Who Alleged Her Changed Appearance Is From Bad Plastic Surgery, Not Her Multiple Sclerosis
Christina Applegate just stepped back into the spotlight after coming to grips with her 2021 multiple sclerosis diagnosis. She powered through worsening mobility to finish shooting her Netflix show, Dead To Me and accepted her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the help of her family and friends. So, it was probably already a challenge for her to attend this year’s Critics Choice Awards, where she was nominated for “best actress in a comedy series” due to her physical limitations. And it surely didn’t help that some trolls (who themselves probably look like stank bags of milk by choice and without disease as an excuse) commented on her appearance after pictures of her at the event hit social media. So, Christina engaged with one of them via DM and shared the interaction on Twitter.
Christina Applegate Made Her First Public Appearance Since Revealing Her MS Diagnosis
I could make a girthy Excel spreadsheet of the people in Hollywood who deserve to have all of the bad things in life happen to them–grouped by offense–but Christina Applegate wouldn’t even make the seventeenth worksheet. However, she’s been dealt a pretty bad hand these past few years, first having to battle cancer and now adapting to her new normal of day-to-day life with the debilitating fuck-face of a disease, multiple sclerosis. But, November seems to be panning out to be a pretty banner month for Christina. The third and final season of her hit Netflix show, Dead To Me, premieres this week after she had to fight like hell to finish filming it due to her physical limitations, and she made her first emotional public appearance since her diagnosis to receive her well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Christina Applegate Talked About Finishing The Filming Of “Dead To Me” After Being Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis
On-brand with the fact that the last few years have been super shitty to many of the legendary and irreproachable entertainers we love, Christina Applegate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis back in 2021. No stranger to health struggles as she had beat breast cancer back in 2008, she asked for privacy and expressed her intention to keep moving forward. As she learned of her diagnosis, she’d just started filming the third and final season of her dark comedy, Dead to Me. Although she took a hiatus for a couple of months to figure things out, Christina insisted on finishing the show despite needing to work around some of her physical changes and limitations.
Christina Applegate Has Revealed That She Was Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis
In an ideal, just, not-shitty world, this update regarding Christina Applegate’s life might be that someone in Hollywood has greenlit a sequel to The Sweetest Thing, or better yet, View from the Top (one of my favorite pieces of much-maligned cinema). But this news is the opposite. It’s the awful revelation that Christina Applegate – who has already gone through entirely too much, medical-wise – was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Modesty Reigned Supreme On The SAG Awards Red Carpet
I don’t know which Project Runway reject fucked up the Overstock.com bedsheet challenge this badly either. And to think, we were so worried about Lizzo getting her juice all over the folding chairs at The Staples Center, we forgot to worry about potential coochie-contact with the upholstered seats at the Shrine Auditorium. However, Sarah Hyland’s short and confusing floral 4th of July bunting skirt was an outlier. For the most part, the outfits on display at last night’s Screen Actors’ Guild Awards were a lot more conservative, ranging from the tiered ruffles and billowy chiffon of a modest religious sect, to tailored suits. On ladies! Hollywood is confusing.
