Christina Applegate discharged from hospital after nearly 4 months
Published in Entertainment News
NEW YORK — Christina Applegate is on the mend and finally back at home after the Emmy winner’s nearly four-month hospitalization.
News broke in mid-April that the “Dead to Me” star, 54, who has battled multiple sclerosis since 2021, was “recently discharged” from a hospitalization that began in late March, sources with direct knowledge relayed to TMZ. Now, the “Anchorman” actress “is home and doing well,” said an insider.
The Daily News has reached out to a representative for Applegate.
Back in April, Applegate’s rep declined to comment “on whether she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are” when asked by the News to confirm TMZ’s reporting.
“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,” continued her rep at the time, referring to the March 2026 release of the former, “You With the Sad Eyes.”
Applegate and “Sopranos” alum Jamie-Lynn Sigler — who also battles the autoimmune disease MS, which affects communication between the brain and body — co-host the “MeSSY” podcast, on which the former has been candid about suffering “a real, f–k-it-all depression” in 2024.
Last year, Applegate said she was hospitalized “upwards of 30 times” over a grueling three-year period and this March, revealed to NPR’s “Wild Card with Rachel Martin” that she thinks about her mortality “every day” and had purchased a burial plot.
