In an appearance at the 2024 Emmys, Christina Applegate, who has been battling multiple sclerosis (MS) since her diagnosis in 2021, captivated the audience with her courage and vulnerability.

Christina Applegate, known for her dynamic roles and vibrant screen presence, has faced her MS diagnosis with a degree of privacy, keeping her public appearances to a minimum. Therefore, her presence at the 2024 Emmys held significant weight, symbolizing a poignant moment in her journey with this challenging condition.

Applegate took to the stage assisted by a cane. Dressed in a striking red gown, she presented an award and received a standing ovation. In good humor, Applegate joked about the audience standing up, playfully chiding them for highlighting her difficulty in doing the same due to her "disability."

The news of Applegate's MS diagnosis first came to light in 2021 when she shared it on X. Expressing the surreal nature of her situation, she acknowledged the support she received from others with MS while requesting privacy as she adapted to her new reality.

In a candid interview in May of the previous year, Applegate revealed the extent of the challenges posed by MS. Everyday activities, once taken for granted, like descending stairs, holding objects, or even showering, had become arduous tasks for her.

Despite needing considerable assistance, Applegate preferred minimal help due to her compromised immune system. She mentioned having a friend stay over during the week and a caretaker for the weekends. She also admitted that while she appreciates the intentions behind visits from friends, they can be physically draining for her.
