Her character in Dead to Me is so cranky, foul-mouthed, volatile and incredibly likeable, all at the same time. Brilliant acting.
Agreed !!!
Christina Applegate is just so iconic and lovely, courageous and resilient. What a woman!
Great words to describe her.
I loved that sitcom!!!
Well said
Thank God for Christina Applegate for her ability to communicate about Multiple Sclerosis.
Thank God for Kelly Clarkson for bringing Christina's condition to her audience.
Oh boy, Christina keeps surprising me with her intelligence, honesty and humor. And I’m glad she’s enlightening us about MS.
You've had access to the internet for decades and you're just now listening to someone with MS? Why's that?
No flies on that girl, she's always been sharp.
This season of Dead to Me is one of the best things I’ve seen on tv ever. Such a beautiful and hilarious portrayal of friendship.
Loved it watched it over and over since it aired on Netflix I know the lines and all
Love her since a child and loved every character but Christina had my heart since a child since even married with children and don’t tell mom the baby sitter is dead 😅
I loved Jen and Judy and the kids and Ben and Steve and her kids her mother in law it was just amazing show . The friendship they had gave me a vibe of that movie from the 80’s beaches .
Diana , Valerie ,max Brandon , Frances I mean the cast had so much chemistry. It reminds me of the chemistry the show friends had with each other in real life
I agree . Such an incredible show . Pure brilliance.
So deep , funny , original with incredible actors .
Watching the final season of dead to me you could tell Christina’s emotions were transferring to the screen through her character. Whether she meant to or not she took us all on that journey with her. Sad and beautiful all at the same time. I hope It gets better for her, sending nothing but love her way
Great series~~Love Christina and Linda Cardellini in 'Dead to Me"~~I pray so hard for Selma Blair and Christina~~God Bless you both and all who suffer from MS~~~💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏
I think she wanted to cry the whole interview, poor beautiful Christina. It absolutely sucks balls, I hope she has more good days , a miracle for this girl ❤
I was diagnosed with MS 30 years ago. Doing great; no meds. Long journey to find my health. I lift weights 3x/week & cardio the other days. You can thrive.
Hey, how did you do it ? With no meds...are you symptoms free or there are difficulties ? I am realy curious please tell
Wow, that’s actually exactly what I need to read. I’m not on meds either I do yoga and meditation, because that shit can take a toll on your mental health ofcourse sometimes I get scared and think what if I just go on the meds but I’ve been there and it just made me worse. I think food is medicine and of course exercise as you do is really important for me I do yoga meditation, and for my mental sanity, and what I find therapeutic is writing so now I am an Indie author I haven’t made any sales, but the quality that it provided me the therapy. It just means so much more.
No medications? Wow, im impressed! Can you give More details please. Im fascinated by natural cures/treatments for illnesses that generally end up with pharmaceuticals!
Same here, 15+ years with ms no meds, i train 5 days a week also😊
@@alnassr42 that's amazing!! how did you do this?
I have a genetic disorder that left me disabled 5 years ago at the age of 25. I absolutely LOVED Dead to Me. I always saw so much of myself in Judy, and the last season really touched me and what I’ve been going through in grieving the loss of my old self prior to becoming sick. I love both Christina and Linda! Their performances were off the charts. PS: I call myself a disabilbabe so I loved Christina’s song 😂
My daughter was diagnosed with Friedrich’s Ataxia 6 years ago at 15. Your comment is helpful. I’m going to have her watch it! Thank you.
Christina seems on the verge of tears with every word she speaks...It's okay not to be okay...You're as beautiful as ever Christina. Be well one day at a time. Love both of you ladies. Your personalities are very similar.
I was diagnosed with MS after having symptoms for two years prior to the event that I said enough is enough, and went to see my doctor. Two weeks later I was diagnosed with MS. I wouldn't wish MS on anyone, not even my worst enemy.
What symptoms?
@@dermlover1 Fatigue, heat sensitivity, numbness in extremities, lose balance just turning around, pain (nerve), falling (seems for no reason). There are more but this should give you a start.
This is a truly evil disease. I am 22 years in and it has gone from RR to Secondary Progressive. And sadly doctors just don't listen to you. It took 7 years for them to listen to me. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this also 😢
I’ve always been a fan of Christina. Everyone called me “Kelley Bundy” growing up in the 80s. Unfortunately, I have MS as well. I’ve been dealing with it for 22 years. Every day is a struggle but we have to stay strong for our selves, loved ones, and children. ❤❤❤❤
I loved the entire “Dead to Me” series and watched it in 2 days. God Speed Christina!
Hi your story sounds similar to me growing up in the eighties to I am also struggling with symptoms but doctors have found nothing how were you diagnosed with Ms if you don't mind me asking what test should I ask to take did they give you to find out
As someone with a similar MS journey, I appreciate how real and authentic she is about it instead of the smoke and mirrors of pretending it doesn’t suck. Thank you Christina.
As someone with MS I'm soo happy to have someone express what so many of us go thru and feel 🖤 you are AMAZING Christina Thanknyou!!!!!
I saw a serie on Netflix where they treat people with bee poison, very interesting and I really hope it can help people diagnosed with MS. Maybe worth watching and doing research about it . Good luck ❤️
@@judithveld256 Thank you so much Judith 🫂🖤 I will definitely check it out.
I'm so with you...been recently diagnosed, after decades of wondering wth was happening to me.
Christina ...I have been a fan for almost 40yrs. And you are just as gorgeous inside and out as you have ALWAYS been.
I have Scleroderma sarcoidosis small fiber neuropathy raynauds sjogrens and now I have none of myelitis optica and multiple sclerosis so I'm terminal now I was diagnosed with those two last year the same time she was. I also gained 40 pounds and I was a skinny little person and now I'm not so when she talks about what she was going through I felt like I finally wasn't alone I was watching myself go and deteriorate and have people judge me and do all that but it was all the meds I was put on everything that was done I just blew up and I've always been a small person. The amount of pain I struggle with on a daily basis is like no other I can barely walk and I'm 36 years old and I have two boys that rely on me. I'm also legally blind because of my diseases and I cannot drive. So I totally appreciate her being so transparent with everything she goes through cuz it really helps people like me go through what we go through
God bless you and your boys ❤
Christina deserves more than a star she's a very good and amazing person and actress, I don't want anything bad happening to her.
As someone who also has an MS diagnosis, I really appreciate Kelly's sensitivity when it comes to comparing experiences. A lot of well-meaning people respond with "I know how you feel" in an attempt to be empathetic, but it can feel even more isolating when people flippantly equate minor and temporary inconveniences to a chronic condition where you're either severely debilitated or in constant fear of a relapse. It's a whole other level of existence; not just to come to terms with a potentially permanent debilitation but also to consider how it can suddenly change the trajectory of the plans and ambitions you have for yourself, as well as a divergence away from what has always been "normal". My heart goes out to Christina. I can't imagine what it must be like to be faced with the likelihood of needing to step away from something that has been such a huge part of her life for such a long time.
What a great combination of women talking. So helpful for all of us. I wish Christina nothing but improved health and long lasting happiness
I have been diagnosed since 2002 i am so inspired by you. God bless you.
That's completely great to hear it from Christina Applegate for her! 😍❤️🧡💛🙏
I love when Christina said this sucks balls excuse her self and Kelly said you can say anything you want I truly wish them both the best and big blessings there way so much compassion n thoughtfulness with each other
Love you Christina!!! 😘❤️And really loved Dead to Me! It was so raw and funny and emotional! I am watching it all over again. I love your cynical humor, not many ppl are as talented as you😘😊 wish you all the health and happiness forever !💕😘😊
Just finished watching the third season of her Dead to Me. Amazing that she continued filming through such a serious DX. Way to go Girl your strength should be acknowledged.
..SO THANKFUL!! 🙏 TO BE ABLE TO SEE "CHRISTINA APPLEGATE" AFTER 40 YEARS!! 🤩😘💞💞💞💞💘
We always love you so much dear Christina Applegate. 🙏🙏💛💛💛💛🌺🌺
thank you Christina Applegate! I love you very much !!!
Yesterday marks 11 years ago I was diagnosed with m.s.
I love Christina! I know first hand it’s not easy. We are strong people.
I have always loved Christina .She is so pretty & loved her movies.
I love her so much. She’s so funny and she tries to see the light and positive out of things. That’s one of the reasons that she is so amazing. And she’s so beautiful inside and out. What a wonderful personality and sense of humour. She’s always been one of my favourite actresses. I love dead to me so much, such an amazing show and both Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are phenomenal and talented
Agree !
👋
Hope Christina comes back once she gets the ms under control. Love her.
Christina’s acting in Dead to Me is brilliant. Also she made me feel it’s okay and feel better about using the F word. Haha. What a tough diagnosis. I wish her all the best.
RRMS since the age of 27 here. Christina and I are exactly the same age. I understand her symptoms and pain very well and during flare ups, you can never plan anything ahead of time because you do not know how you will feel from day to day. Nice interview, Happy Easter to you both.
Christina, you are my new Queen. Dead To Me is brilliant. YOU. ARE. AMAZING. Fking incredible, strong, beautiful, talented, and hilarious. You’ve got this!!
She is actually the most BEAUTIFUL woman I’ve ever seen in my life.
We absolutely love Dead to me and Christina is so phenomenal in it!!! We pray for good health ❤️❤️❤️
She’s INCREDIBLE in this Netflix special. I had no idea she could act like this. Really amazing y. ♥️♥️♥️
Agreed, I’d only seen her in comedy, which I know is supposed to be some of the hardest acting. But I’ve never been a fan of most comedies. She was so powerful yet so funny
Christina, you are so loved. And still the same amazing person you were before diagnosis. Keep your head up sis. ❤
Christina, we need REAL people like you. Love ya darling!
We love Christina so much! Loved her in all her projects and was blown away at all 3 seasons of Dead To Me!
what a strong woman, i love christina so much
Love this woman.
One of my closest friends was diagnosed with MS a couple years ago and her strength, courage and resilience has inspired me. Christina is amazing and her diagnosis and the courage she has shown has shone a light on this terrible disease. Thank you Christina, you're an inspiration.
Kelly your compassion and thoughtfulness in this interview was beautiful. And yes you two seem like you would make great friends.
Loved Christina Applegate since I was a kid as well.
Prayers 🙏 for your comfort, mental & emotional health, healing and amazing grace to you Christina. ❤️
Lovely interview and amazing woman! It shows what type of strength you have and your resilience. Two beautiful woman!! 👏🙌🙏🏾❤️
I love Christina & loved, loved “ dead to me “ I also want to mention & acknowledge how much I love Kelly Clarkson’s minimal/ no make up look, she’s so real as it gets.
She really is legend
I love Christina.❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been dealing with an autoimmune disease most of my life and humour has been a big factor in how I’ve dealt with it. I love that Christina tells us how it is and is so authentic.❤️🙏
Somehow I had not known she had been diagnosed with this. I wish her all the best. Just a great actress and person.
I have maintained my same "humor through tears" for 2 1/2 years now. Our story is too long to post , but I URGE all to remember that your strength in the beginning of a "nightmare" for other's is needed just as much down the road . Often survival is just the beginning of a gravel road in bare feet & seeing a pair of shoes miles away before the next trek of gravel road is easier.
I love dead to me and the humor she displayed. "F" She's so f'n great! Best to her and strength going forward.
After being accused of being a liar, a drug seeker, and getting security called on me at a neurologist appointment just because I wanted to rule out M.S. I am standing tall and speaking out. What is going on with this study. Why treat people this way. If I don't have M.S fine BUT if I do. Let me just say I'll stand to fight for M.S awareness. I want to thank the M.S community for their support. You are all amazing and words can't describe how thankful I am for those who are speaking up and helping others to keep fighting. We got this.
Love Christina! Kelly has such a beautiful, young, natural face!
best interview lol i lve how kelly is so sincere but it shows even more when shes sick and doing an interview and Christina Applegate kills it also with the end statement on how ms is so different for any of us with it to make it clear not to compare us to each other we might have simmler battles but they all take different things and form in different ways love this video

Christina is such a beautiful soul...and funny too.... she's handling everything good.... I understand how she feels...I have MS too... everyday is a stuggle...but I push through ❤
Just finished bingeing Dead to Me. It was such great entertainment! After learning of Christina's MS diagnosis, I could see how she relayed actual pain into her acting. What a trooper! She was outstanding! Glad to see her looking well & speaking so honestly about her disease. 👏 🥰
I am happy that she can be so candid about her struggle with MS. I had a feeling something was going on with her, but I wasn’t sure. I thought that it was her character being so affected by the stress of the murder and Judy’s cancer. She is a solid actor, so probably a combination of both.
I found this out because I started binging Dead to Me and noticed that she looked different and not just physically but something significant had changed. Sending so much love to her - she seems like a really good person.
Christina Applegate is one of my favourite actors and her strength and courage is moving. I love her and she’s the type of person we all need in a best friend! ❤❤❤
We always look at movie stars as immortal, rich and perfect. Then when things like this happen to actors the human comes out and the rich and perfect part dissappears. For Christina to come out like this does make her immortal. Thoughts and prayers 🙏 Christina and see you back soon!!! You are truly amazing 👏

I'm the same age as christina and I can't imagine what shes going through and how I would react to that diagnosis but she's amazing how she s handling this. She is a great actress!
Very talented women. Dead to me was terrific.
People used to call me Kelly Bundy when I was young. She's one of my favorite people. Love her!
Dead to Me is my favorite binge of all time -- the first, second and third time I watched it. Incredible in every aspect. I never could decide who was the best of the characters - perfect casting. And now knowing what Christina has done with something that might beat others down, I am blown away with her as an inspiration to just live every day to the best. Total respect.
I just love her and Dead To Me is spectacular. Thanks for the great interview to both “Kelly’s!”
This is a beautiful and real conversation between Kelly and Christina. Have always loved both of them anyways. ❤️
Christina Applegate is ABLE in all the ways that matter.
She had my heart forever
They are both so genuine and it's generous to share like that
Dead to Me is best Netflix Series to date! Love Christina Applegate & Linda Cardellini - amazing actors!
I have relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. It got so bad I could barely walk. A Dr. At OHSU told me if I didn't do a treatment called Mitoxantrone (low level chemo treatment) I would be in a wheelchair. That treatment was the best thing I could have done! It stabilized the multiple sclerosis. I dud the treatment once every 4 months for a year. I can only do this treatment for 1 more year because it will cause heart toxicity if done more than 2 years. I wonder if Christina knows or has tried this treatment. I feel so bad for her. I know how she feels. I gained weight to. It feels like your life has been taken away from you and you will never get your life back. The best thing anyone can do for themselves is to remain positive. If you don't multiple sclerosis will get very very bad fast!! Praying for you Christina 🙏 ❤️
Thank u Christina for giving us So much! ❤️
Thank you for the account of your struggles; sometimes I think people forget that celebrities are humans too. Bless you both, love you both! #keeppushin
What an amazing lady who has been drawn the short straw on too many occasions.
Stay strong lovely lady. ❤
such a beautiful, strong, funny, sweet, smart and inspiring woman, love her ❤️❤️
She is an incredible woman! ❤️
so grateful for her being well enough to finish dead to me, it's an amazing show and it had a beautiful ending. also grateful she's feeling well enough now to do some interviews.
she wasn't "well enough", she had MS.
I love this interview. I love both Christina and Kelly. I also am a Stevie Nick's and Below Deck fan. Christina has been through so much and she keeps going 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If someone doesn't like Christina Applegate I don't trust their judgement. She should live and be however she wants or has to and everyone should be ok with it. No fishbowl!!!
So love Both you lady’s and I am so sorry for Christina’s MS diagnosis 😢You are such a strong lady I know you’ll conquer this disease in the best way possible and just know I for one am praying for you 🙏❤🙏 You are amazing 🤩
We love her for her, not for what she looked like. So glad to see her in any way
Oh my God Christina Applegate is everything and more she's so God damn gorgeous I love her so much always 🥰🥰🥰
I was born in 1971 like Christina. I have had a crush on her since I was in high school. She is a wonderful, beautiful, funny, talented, kind person and actress. My wife and I loved "Dead to Me." I hope we will keep seeing you Christina!!
Love her! Keep strong Christina. My mom has ALS. Sometimes life is hard 😢
I’m so sorry to hear that. I lost my mom to ALS 5 years ago. It’s an awful disease. Cherish every moment you have together and take care of yourself. You’re on a difficult road. But you can get through it
Oh my heart goes out to you sweet lady!!! I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis 10 years ago. So I totally understand and know how this ugly disease can be. I've had days of feeling like I'm being tortured and tormented. Then I'll have a good day. Unfortunately the type of MS I have is debilitating with no remissions. I was approved for stem cell therapy in San Diego but living off of disability makes 17.000$ impossible. It's something that you should totally look into Christina!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and all suffering from this ugly disease! 🙏
Amanda, i am so sorry that you are trapped by both MS and a disgraceful health (no)care system. I wish you much remission
omg i love christina! so brave and so normal..
Love both of them, such precious souls 💕
Love this woman! She’s amazing ♥️
Kelly interviewed Christina amazingly!! wow!! I was supper impressed!
I totally feel your pain Christina! diagnosed AS last year, major spinal surgery that failed, a long with so many other degenerative issues in my spine has caused me to isolate too. Went from out working everyone, never stopping or slowing down, to fully disabled and in a constant state of grieving the life I had, the things I miss so much, grieving every single thing we took for granted without knowing it. Grieving for what my wife and kids lost too. Watching our worlds change forever, and knowing they are missing out on the life I had built and planned for them is tragic. Being ill and having no way out is something we can never change, and it sucks bad. I worked through horrible pain for years. I let it anger me enough to use it as a motivational tool. It made me work harder, push myself further, telling myself that the pain was simply a sign I've accomplished a lot! Not knowing what was wrong with me all that time made me honestly cause more damage in the end. All we can do is keep trying treatments and putting our feet on the floor every single day. It truly is living in hell to suffer the way so many of us do, every single moment of our existence. I'm only 36! Stay strong all!
LOVE YOU CHRISTINA!!!!! Still as beautiful as before and just my favorite actress!!!love watching this show just because of you. i’m so sorry what you are going through, god bless 💕💝💕💝💕💝💕
Oh my gosh I love her❤ Get character in dead to me is 100 percent ME! Always angry but always laughing at myself lol❤
I was diagnosed April 2 of this year, but I had symptoms for 10 years, I’d go to the drs, I wasn’t properly diagnosed. I had a flare up 4 years ago, my left leg was in pain, and I couldn’t walk. I was under so much stress at that moment. This a complicated disease, it affects everyone differently. Just gotta keep going in life
I told her in a email not to give up she'll have good days and bad days never give up I don't give up I've had MS.for twenty years god bless her ❤😊
I felt everything watching that final season. Christina is a literal angel. Keep pushing girl!
I rediscovered her through her character in Dead To Me, she is amazing, a great actrice! I loved the show. And she is so lovable!
I love you Christina! I've binge watched alot of your movies and tv shows! Hope you decide to do some new ones!
She put her true heart in her acting what was going on in her real she brought to the plate and she is a phenomenal actress much respect
Christina’s humor will help her immensely
What a truly lovely human.
