Christina Applegate's 13-Year-Old Daughter Admits It's 'Hard' to See Her Mom Living with MS: 'I Want to Help'


On Christina Applegates 'MeSsy' podcast, her teen daughter Sadie says it's 'hard' to see her mom living with MS. The 13-year-old jokes that she 'begs' to push her mom's wheelchair — and she shares her own health struggles, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and misophonia.

The"Dead to Me" actress introduced her teen daughter, whom she shares with husband, musician Martyn Le Noble, as “my favorite guest we could possibly ever have.” Applegate defended her case, telling Sadie, "I just always get afraid that...if there was like a ramp that you would just let go because you thought it was funny!" The teen says she suffers from misophonia, which causes intense, overwhelming emotional and physical reactions to certain sounds ("my two worst are breathing and chewing," she says), and she was recently diagnosed with POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
