March 11 (UPI) — Christina Applegate says she felt “beloved” at the Emmys in January amid her battle with multiple sclerosis.
The 52-year-old actress gave a health update in a preview Monday of an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America. The full interview will air Tuesday on ABC.
Applegate appeared on GMA with actress Jamie Lynn Sigler, who is also diagnosed with MS. Applegate was candid about her condition, telling Roberts, “I live kind of in hell.”
“I’m not out a lot, so this is a little difficult, just for my system,” she added. “But of course, the support is wonderful and I’m really grateful.”
Applegate, who was diagnosed with MS in 2021, made a rare public appearance Jan. 15 at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
The actress received a standing ovation while presenting the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series.
On GMA, Applegate said the moment was overwhelming to the point where she “actually kind of blacked out.”
“People said, ‘Oh, you were so funny.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t even know what I said,'” the star said. “I don’t even know what I was doing. I got so freaked out that I didn’t even know what was happening anymore.”
“I felt really beloved, and it was really a beautiful thing,” she added before joking, “Then — and I’m just going to say this — that audience stood up for everybody.”
