Actress Christina Applegate, known for her roles in Dead to Me and Married… with Children, has revealed she’s been hospitalized more than 30 times since her 2021 diagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS). The condition has significantly impacted her health and daily life.
Applegate recently shared details about her latest hospital stay during an episode of her Messy podcast, which she co-hosts with fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler. The episode was notably recorded from her hospital room, offering listeners a raw and personal glimpse into her ongoing health battle.
She made it clear that recording from the hospital wasn’t a publicity move. “By the way, people out there, I’m not doing a podcast from the hospital because I felt like doing one from the hospital was an awesome idea,” Applegate explained. Instead, the timing was simply coincidental—they had already scheduled the recording before her hospitalization.
Applegate acknowledged that her current health situation was complicated, saying, “They won’t let me leave yet because things are, things are messy.” While she didn’t elaborate on the specific symptoms or complications that led to the hospital visit, her tone suggested that her condition has been particularly challenging lately.
Despite the difficulties, she remained hopeful and reassuring to her listeners, adding, “But I’m going to be okay.” The statement served as both a personal affirmation and a message of resilience to others living with MS or chronic illnesses.
Her openness and honesty about her journey with MS have continued to inspire many. Through her podcast, she provides a platform to discuss the realities of living with a chronic condition, while also fostering connection and understanding for those facing similar challenges.
