Christina Applegate hospitalized as ongoing MS battle takes painful turn [View all]

Christina Applegate has reportedly been hospitalized amid her ongoing battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease wherein the immune system attacks the protective layer around the nerves, leading to incredibly painful symptoms.

The 54-year-old, who announced her diagnosis to the world in 2021, was reportedly admitted to hospital in late March, according to TMZ. Christina's representative shared a statement in the wake of the news, which read: "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," they concluded. It is unclear if Christina was hospitalized for reasons relating to her MS.

Her MeSsy podcast co-host, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, shared on March 31 that their podcast would be going on a brief hiatus as they were "both busy with our books coming out". Christina released her memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, on March 3.

Didn't know they both had it. A woman from my neighborhood that I grew up with died from it.

My sympathies.
