Christina Applegate speaks openly about a very private topic: the combination of a viral infection and multiple sclerosis means she has to wear diapers.
In 2021, Christina Applegate made it public that she was living with multiple sclerosis. Since then, the US actress has repeatedly given honest insights into her everyday life with the disease. Now she spoke about her health again and revealed that she wears adult diapers.
In the new episode of her podcast called “MeSsy Podcast”, which she records together with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, she reports on a recent viral illness that gave her a hard time. The unpleasant experience began when she contracted Covid from a friend, which developed into a long-term infection. Christina Applegate also says in the podcast that she had severe diarrhea at the time, which made her dizzy. “I was so sick, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t do anything,” she remembers.
“Woke up in the morning in a pool of feces”
During an examination, the sapovirus, which causes severe diarrhea, was finally diagnosed. “It breaks out when you ingest someone else’s feces through food,” she explains. “Another person’s feces got into my mouth and I ate it.” Christina Applegate suspects she caught the virus from a take-away salad from a restaurant where she has been a guest for 15 years. She “woke up at three in the morning in a pool of feces.”
This circumstance, combined with her MS disease, was not a pleasant experience. “Having MS at 3 a.m. and trying to change the sheets is not fun. But that brings me to my next point that we can talk about: I wear diapers,” said Christina Applegate.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS, adds that it’s not a nice feeling to have to wear adult diapers: “To be honest, Christina and I talked about how you don’t feel sexy when you put on adult diapers. ” It is something you have to wear because your body is malfunctioning.
