Megyn Kelly’s Christina Applegate Comments Reignite Fallout With Former Friend

  • On October 20, Megyn Kelly criticized Emmy-nominated actress Christina Applegate on "The Megyn Kelly Show," calling the actress's health journey a "wild goose chase" after Applegate announced her 2021 multiple sclerosis diagnosis may have been incorrect.
  • Applegate, 54, recently shared that her 2021 multiple sclerosis diagnosis may have been wrong, leaving her uncertain about her condition and stating, "So I'm back at square one where I don't know what's going on with me."
  • Dean, who has lived with MS for more than 20 years, defended the "Dead to Me" actress, writing on X that Kelly's comments were "disgusting" and praising Applegate's bravery in telling the truth.
  • On Thursday, Ana Navarro defended Applegate on the "Behind the Table" podcast, calling Kelly "pond scum" for attacking an actress who is "clearly" going through a serious illness.
  • The dispute highlights tensions over celebrity health advocacy; Kelly claimed Applegate sought to "be the face of MS" for relevance, while Navarro argued such attacks on the ill are inhumane and cruel.
