Christina Applegate has opened up about how her multiple sclerosis diagnosis has deeply affected her 14-year-old daughter, Sadie. The Dead to Me actress revealed on her MeSsy podcast that her battle with MS has “broken” her teenage daughter, who watches her mother struggle with basic daily activities.
Speaking with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Applegate explained that before her 2021 diagnosis, Sadie only knew her as “healthy and a runner and a Pelotoner and a dancer.” She described how her daughter was initially “stoic” about the diagnosis but has struggled more as time has passed and the reality of the disease has set in.
