HuffPost
The "Dead to Me" actor's 13-year-old daughter, Sadie, appeared on "MeSsy," the podcast Applegate co-hosts with fellow actor Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Christina Applegate’s teen daughter, Sadie, recently opened up about how her mother’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis has affected her.
During an appearance on Thursday’s episode of “MeSsy,” the podcast Applegate co-hosts with fellow actor Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the 13-year-old said that certain things have been “really hard” for her since her mom was diagnosed with MS in 2021.
“Every night, I remember, when I was a kid, we would dance and everything in her room for hours at a time,” she said.
“It was hard seeing my mom lose a lot of the abilities she used to have in my childhood. ... It’s just really difficult seeing her go through this.”
Sadie then explained that it’s also been “nice” being able to support her mom in different ways, though she joked that the “Dead to Me” actor isn’t always willing to let her steer when her mom uses a wheelchair.
