Actress Christina Applegate received an outpouring of love and support at the Emmys as she battles multiple sclerosis (MS). The 52-year-old, known for her role in 'Dead to Me,' made a surprise appearance at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday. As she walked on stage with a cane and assistance from host Anthony Anderson, the audience rose to their feet, giving her a standing ovation. Applegate looked stunning in a plunging Christian Siriano burgundy velvet gown.
Although the emotional moment brought tears to her eyes, Applegate quickly lightened the mood with her trademark humor. Taking the microphone to introduce Carrol Burnett, she joked, 'Thank you so much. Oh my God. You’re totally shaming me with the disability by standing up. Body not by ozempic,' playfully referencing the Type 2 diabetes drug that has gained popularity in Hollywood as a weight loss supplement. She continued by saying, 'Some of you may know me as Kelly Bundy from ‘Married With Children'... we don’t have to applaud every time I do something.'
