Christina Applegate is sharing how she copes with tough days living with multiple sclerosis.
While appearing on James Corden‘s SiriusXM show This Life of Mine on Thursday, August 8, to discuss her day-to-day life with MS, the Dead to Me star, 52, had a surprising yet relatable answer when Corden, 45, asked if music has helped her work through challenging moments.
“I find reality television very useful, that’s kind of it for me,” she replied. “Anyone who knows me well knows that it’s on 24/7 in my room, because I don’t leave my room very often. I know that sounds really depressing but it’s kind of like, I need to sleep sometimes.”
The Married With Children alum went on to tell Corden that when it comes to which reality shows she prefers, the sky’s the limit.
“Give me any of it,” she joked. “Give me a Vanderpump [Rules], give me a Below Deck, give me a [Real] Housewife, even give me Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay — I’ll watch like nine seasons of that in like two days.”
Applegate added, “I love watching the imperfections of real people, really. Like wow, those people exist, I love that. That’s why I love reality TV because they freak me out that they walk this earth acting like that.”
The Emmy Award winner first revealed her MS diagnosis in a statement posted via X in 2021.
