Christina Applegate, the beloved actress from “Dead to Me” and “Married… With Children,” dropped a bombshell on her recent podcast episode with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. The 52-year-old star revealed that at the young age of 27, she made the decision to undergo the one and only plastic surgery procedure she’s ever had.
It all started with a hurtful comment from a prominent producer who criticized the bags under her eyes while she was filming the show “Jesse.” Feeling self-conscious, Applegate took the plunge and had the bags removed, joking that her dad also struggled with under-eye baggage.
But this wasn’t the first time Applegate has faced negativity around her looks. Last year, an Instagram troll accused her of plastic surgery when in reality, her changing appearance was due to her battle with multiple sclerosis, which she bravely revealed in 2021.
Despite her health struggles, Applegate continues to open up about her journey on her podcast, even discussing her battles with depression. She’s committed to breaking the stigma around mental health issues and chronic illness, urging others to have empathy for those going through similar challenges.
In a world where people are quick to judge, Applegate’s candidness serves as a reminder that everyone is fighting their own battles behind the scenes. So next time you feel the urge to criticize, take a moment to show some kindness instead.
