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.
