Christina Applegate Calls Out Critic Who Commented on Her Appearance

Two months prior, Applegate made her first public appearance since sharing her battle with MS, attending the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony where she was honored. As she explained to Variety, the event had originally been scheduled for 2020 but got postponed.

“Now my life is a different story,” Applegate told the outlet before the November ceremony. “People are going to see me for the first time as a disabled person, and it’s very difficult. So, for me, two years ago would have been so much better! But maybe this time it’s more poignant. I don’t know.”

Over the past year, Applegate has given fans insights into her life. And recently, she spoke about what it was like working on Dead to Me, which debuted its final season in November, after receiving her diagnosis.

“The beauty of Dead to Me is it gave me almost this weird platform of dealing with it, where I didn’t have to be on all the time, and I didn’t have to make all the jokes, and I could fall apart in a scene and it was like me, my soul, actually falling apart, unfortunately, in front of the world,” Applegate said on a December episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “But it was cathartic in a beautiful way.”
