Los Angeles, California – Actress Christina Applegate recently opened up about her struggles with multiple sclerosis and her rare appearance at this year’s Emmys in a teaser clip for an upcoming interview on “Good Morning America.” Applegate, 52, candidly discussed the challenges she faces due to her health condition, revealing that she lives “kind of in hell” and finds it difficult to be out in public often.
During the interview with host Robin Roberts, Applegate humorously shared her experience of “blacking out” during her appearance at the Emmys and expressed gratitude for the support she has received.

Joined by fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who has also been diagnosed with MS, Applegate reflected on her journey with the autoimmune disorder and the impact it has had on her life. The duo is set to launch a new podcast called “MeSsy” on March 19, where they will delve into their experiences with MS and share their stories.
Applegate, who disclosed her MS diagnosis in 2021, hinted at the possibility of retiring from acting in a previous interview. Despite facing challenges on set, she continued to work on the third and final season of her Netflix series “Dead to Me” after receiving her diagnosis. The actress expressed uncertainty about her future in the industry but acknowledged the show as a gift during a challenging time.
The upcoming interview with Robin Roberts is scheduled to air on Tuesday, offering viewers a deeper insight into Applegate’s journey with MS and her remarkable resilience in the face of adversity.
