After approximately four months in a Los Angeles hospital, Christina Applegate (54) has reportedly returned home. According to the US outlet "TMZ", citing sources close to the actress, she was recently discharged from the facility. A person close to Applegate stated that she is now at home and doing well under the circumstances.
The "Married... with Children" star had reportedly been receiving inpatient treatment since late March. The reason for Applegate's admission and how long she was expected to stay did not become public during this time. Reports about the hospital stay circulated in the media, while Applegate herself remained silent for a long time.
"I am a strong woman"
Only after the news gained widespread coverage did she reach out to her fans. On Instagram, she thanked her followers in mid-April for the "overwhelming outpouring of love and well wishes." She shared a photo of her book "You With The Sad Eyes" next to a mug with the inscription "Kissy Kissy."
She addressed her health situation openly, though without going into specifics. "I am a strong woman and I get stronger and better every day," Applegate wrote. "I am taking a moment right now to focus on my health, but I will speak up soon with more." In the following period, she did post some content. However, these were throwback pictures or posts related to her book.
Her spokesperson remained tight-lipped
Her spokesperson also released a statement that left key questions unanswered. He declined to comment on "whether she is in the hospital or what medical treatments she is receiving." Instead, he referenced the actress's past: "She has a long history of complicated medical issues that she has been refreshingly open about in her book and on her podcast."
Living with Multiple Sclerosis since 2021
Applegate was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2021. The actress has been speaking publicly about dealing with the incurable autoimmune disease ever since. Whether the months-long hospital stay is connected to this has not been explained by either herself or her management.
