Christina Applegate is getting candid about a crappy experience.
The Dead to Me star graphically detailed her recent bout of sapovirusa virus commonly transmitted through fecal-oral contact, colorfully joking that the illness led to “pissing out of my ass for a few days.”
“I’m gonna be gross,” Christina—who also struggles with multiple sclerosis—shared on the April 23 episode of her MeSsy podcast. “I woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning in a pool of s–t. Didn’t know it happened, and having MS at 3 o’clock in the morning and trying to change your sheets, it’s not fun.”
According to Christina, the health ordeal all began a few weeks ago when someone “real close” to her “dropped the ball” and brought home COVID-19, leading to her contract the virus for the first time. Due to her already being immunocompromised from MS, Christina experienced more severe symptoms, including a chest infection and a speeding heart rate.
“I was so dizzy,” she recalled to cohost Jamie-Lynn Sigler. “I was so sick. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t anything.”
