Christina Applegate shared an unfortunate tale that led her to resort to wearing diapers — a consequence of contracting a virus from a salad.
The actress delved into her experience during the Tuesday, April 23 episode of her podcast, MeSsy. It all began when she contracted COVID-19 from a close friend, who had gotten it from a visit to a bowling alley.
Following her diagnosis with COVID-19, it evolved into long-term COVID, leading to complications such as a chest infection and heart palpitations. She also recalled, "pissing out of my a-- for a few days to the point where I was so dizzy. I was so sick, I couldn't eat, I couldn't [do] anything." Applegate then got diagnosed with sapovirus, which she explained as "when you ingest the fecal matter of someone else from your food."
She didn't stop the details there — the Dead to Me star continued, "Someone else's poop went into my mouth and I ate it."
Applegate believes the culprit behind the virus was a takeout salad at a restaurant she's been a long-standing customer for. She didn't leave much to the imagination when she said she "at three o'clock in the morning in a pool of s---."
She also spoke about her multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2021. "Didn't know it happened, and having MS at three o'clock in the morning and trying to change your sheets, it's not fun. But this brings me to my next point, which we can talk about: I'm wearing diapers," Applegate continued.
The Vacation actress complained that the adult diapers are not "pretty" or "accessible," which her co-host Sigler, agreed on, who also has MS.
"So adult diapers are a blush pink usually. And they usually have some sort of bow or floral design along the pelvic area. And to be honest, Christina and I have talked about this, putting on an adult diaper, you're not gonna feel sexy," Sigler explained. "You're never gonna slip one on and be like, 'I'm ready for my day.' It's something you gotta wear because your body is malfunctioning."
