Christina Applegate hospitalized amid MS battle: report
Christina Applegate is reportedly hospitalized in Los Angeles, according to a report from TMZ.
The actress, 54, who has battled multiple sclerosis since a diagnosis in 2021, is said by the outlet to have been admitted in late March.
It is not apparent if her alleged hospitalization is related to that condition.
A representative for Applegate told Page Six: “I have no comment on whether she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are. She’s had a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about, as evidenced in her memoir and on her podcast.”
Applegate has been consistently open about her condition, giving details about it as recently as Feburary, revealing that she’s confined to her bed due to ongoing pain.
The “Married… with Children” alum made the heartbreaking confession while discussing how she still tries to take her 15-year-old daughter, Sadie, to school and other activities during an interview with People.
“I want to take her; it’s my favorite thing to do. It’s the only time we have together by ourselves,” she said. “I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.’ And that’s what I do,” she told the outlet.
Applegate shares her daughter with Dutch musician Martyn Lenoble, whom she married in 2013.
The “Sweetest Thing” star revealed her MS diagnosis in August 2021 in an emotional statement on X (formerly Twitter).
“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition,” she wrote at the time.
“It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a–hole blocks it,” she continued.
“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. Thank you xo.”
She’s probably best known for her breakout role as rebellious teenager Kelly Bundy on the bawdy sitcom “Married … with Children,” on which she starred from 1987 to 1997.
Applegate has a recently released memoir, “You With the Sad Eyes,” which discusses her tenure in Hollywood as well as her struggles with MS.
