Christina Applegate Announces Hospitalization, Issues Statement to Fans Today
Christina Applegate, 54, posted an update on April 20 that she is recovering after a hospitalization earlier this month. The actress confirmed that she is focusing on her health and intends to resume public appearances once she feels stronger.
Applegate has been dealing with multiple sclerosis (MS) since her diagnosis in August 2021 while filming the Netflix series “Dead To Me.” She has repeatedly discussed how the disease interferes with daily life, including frequent emergency department visits, and has said she has been hospitalized more than 30 times.
She released a memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, in which she details her MS struggles and a long history of complicated health issues. The book has been a platform for the actress to share her journey with a broader audience.
The actress’s representation declined to comment on current medical treatments but acknowledged her openness about past conditions. Official statements affirmed that she remains in active recovery.
Support from fans and fellow actors has been noted in the comments on her Instagram post, with colleagues expressing encouragement and solidarity. The update follows earlier reports that Applegate was taken to a hospital on March 28.
