Actress Christina Applegate has been battling MS for five years, but she is a tough woman. Unfortunately, rumors have been circulating that she was essentially on her deathbed, but what is the truth? Keep reading for more on what Christina had to say regarding her health.
Christina Applegate Battled Cancer, Now MS
Fans have long loved Christina Applegate as she was a sitcom star, known for Married…with Children. She became a bleached blonde sex symbol and icon, who made her way into the cult cinema sphere with Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. More TV and film roles would follow, but it was her health that would take center stage. In 2008, Christina was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was devastating given that her mother was a cancer survivor. However, she fought and beat it. Then, in 2021, she announced that she had multiple sclerosis, and fans were shocked.
She had been suffering, and admitted it was hard to truly function the way that she wanted to. Rather, the way that she was used to, but luckily, those close to her understood her limitations. Christina made some appearances and, as painful as it was, she kept up her sense of humor. Recently, it began circulating that she was near death amid a month-long hospital stay. Now, the 54-year-old starlet is sharing her side, as much as she can for the time being:
“Thank you for the outpouring of love and well-wishes. Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day.”
Christina Applegate opted to take her words to social media, where she has over one million followers. She did not confirm nor deny what was officially going on with her at the moment. Yet, she showcased a copy of her memoir, a cute mug, and concluded with this:
“I’m taking a moment to focus on my health, but I’ll be back with more to say soon enough.”
