Christina Applegate admits she got plastic surgery after producer’s nasty comment

Christina Applegate is sharing her truth about going under the knife. 

During the latest episode of her podcast, the “Dead to Me” alum admitted she had plastic surgery after a “famous” producer commented on her appearance.

“I was on a show and one of the producers… [a] very famous [person] who did a very famous show as well… said, ‘Hey we’re having trouble lighting under your eyes. The bags under your eyes are so big,'” Applegate, 52, explained on her “MeSsy” podcast with “The Sopranos” star Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

“He goes, ‘I suggest you get them removed,’” she said.

The actress added that although the “bags” under her eyes were “hereditary,” she felt pressured to take action.

Applegate quipped that her dad “has got Louis Vuitton luggage under his eyes.”

“At 27 years old, I had the only plastic surgery I’ve ever had to remove the bags under my eyes. … I went under.”

She continued to call out the producer for making her feel “shame” by “plant[ing] seeds into [her] head.”

The “Married… with Children” alum has been honest about her health battles since she first revealed her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021. 

Applegate and Sigler — who is also battling MS — shared that they feel “shameful” and “self-conscious” when using a cane.

“I’m so shameful to carry a cane. And I really, I really wish I wasn’t that way, but I really struggle with it big time,” Sigler said.

Applegate added, “I feel self-conscious when I have my cane. I feel self-conscious about the fact that I’m like this… but I know for myself, I don’t know what’s, what would be worse, me falling.”

“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS,” she wrote. 

“It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition,” Applegate continued. “It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a–hole blocks it.”
