Christina Applegate Attends Amid MS Battle

Happy to be there! Christina Applegate stepped out on the twenty eighth annual Critics’ Choice Awards — the primary awards present she’s attended since being identified with a number of sclerosis.

Applegate, 51, was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series on the awards present. During the Sunday, January 15, broadcast, Cedric the Entertainer offered her class, wherein she finally misplaced to Hacks’ Jean Smart. When the 58-year-old Neighborhood alum mentioned her identify, Applegate was seen applauding and smiling from her seat.

The Dead to Me star introduced her intentions to attend the Los Angeles-based ceremony — hosted by Chelsea Handler — two days earlier. “So this Sunday will be the first awards show I have been to since 2019. And the first since MS. NERVOUS,” Applegate tweeted on Friday, January 13. “But grateful to the @CriticsChoice for including me.” 

The Married … With Children alum first confirmed her prognosis two years earlier.

“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS,” Applegate wrote through Twitter in August 2021. “It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a—hole blocks it.”

She continued on the time: “As one of my friends that has MS said ‘We wake up and take the indicated action’. And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing.”

The Samantha Who? alum has since been candid about her well being struggles and willpower to complete filming the ultimate seasons of her Netflix collection regardless of her MS prognosis. (Dead to Me’s third and ultimate season aired in 2022.)

“I had an obligation to [the series creator] Liz [Feldman] and to Linda [Cardellini], to our story. The powers that be were like, ‘Let’s just stop. We don’t need to finish it. Let’s put a few episodes together,’” Applegate informed The New York Times in November 2022. “I said, ‘No. We’re going to do it, but we’re going to do it on my terms.’”

She added: “This is the first time anyone’s going to see me the way I am. I put on 40 pounds; I can’t walk without a cane. I want people to know that I am very aware of all of that. … There was the sense of, ‘Well, let’s get her some medicine so she can get better.’ And there is no better. But it was good for me. I needed to process my loss of my life, my loss of that part of me.”

The Bad Moms star made her first public look later that month when she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“The most important person in this world is my daughter. You are so much more than even you know. I am blessed every day [with you],” Applegate gushed of 11-year-old daughter Sadie, whom she shares with husband Martyn LeNoble, throughout the ceremony earlier than addressing her sickness. “Oh, by the way, I have a disease. Did you not notice? I’m not even wearing shoes. You’re supposed to laugh at that.”
