Christina Applegate recently revealed that her multiple sclerosis diagnosis was incorrect. But the news brought little reassurance as her health challenges remain unresolved. “If anything, I’ve gotten worse in some ways,” she said. “And so I’m back to square one.”
That same openness runs through her memoir, “You With the Sad Eyes,” in which she opens up about her life and career, including its highs and lows.
Drawing on journals she kept for decades, Applegate reflects on childhood abuse and an unstable home environment that shaped her sense of safety and self-worth.
“I’ve been wanting to put these things down for my whole life, especially the things that are pretty hard to read,” she said of her decision to share her experiences.
