Christina Applegate names the ‘only’ plastic surgery procedure she’s had done – after getting shamed by a producer
I can’t help but feel deeply saddened and concerned after reading Christina Applegate‘s account of her struggles with anorexia during her time as a ‘rock slut’ in the 1980s. Her story is a stark reminder of how dangerous and all-consuming body image issues can be, especially when amplified by societal pressures and the expectations of Hollywood.
Christina Applegate shared on their podcast, MeSsy, that she has undergone a single cosmetic treatment during an episode that aired on Tuesday.
52-years-old, having won an Emmy and gained fame portraying the character Kelly Bundy in Married…with Children during my youth, I openly acknowledge that at the tender age of 27, I chose to undergo cosmetic surgery.
During an interview on a popular talk show, one of the producers, who is also known for their successful program, mentioned to me, “We’ve been experiencing some difficulty in illuminating the area under your eyes. Your under-eye bags are particularly large.”
She explained that the producer advised her to ‘get them removed.’
Back then, I couldn’t get enough of NBC’s sitcom “Jesse,” where she shone as the beloved leading lady. The show graced our screens for a brief yet captivating run from 1998 to 2000.
Applegate shared with her audience that the dark circles under her own eyes were an inherited trait and made a light-hearted comment, teasingly referring to her father, Robert Applegate, as possessing “high-end luggage” in the form of dark circles instead.
Despite this, her self-confidence took a hit when the producer’s comments left her feeling embarrassed and implanted doubts in her mind.
30-years-old at the time, the performer revealed they underwent their sole plastic surgery experience to get rid of the eye bags. They explained they opted for this procedure.
As a former child star myself, I can certainly empathize with the struggles that come with being in the spotlight at such a young age. It was a challenging and overwhelming experience for me too, particularly when I was on Married… With Children. Navigating the complexities of growing up in the public eye, while trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy in my personal life, was definitely not easy. However, it has also given me valuable insights into the entertainment industry and has shaped who I am today as a person and professional.
In May, she revealed that she battled anorexic while starring on the beloved sitcom at just 15.
1. The year Applegate started acting on the TV show, her mother, Nancy Priddy (who is also a TV actress), signed her up for a Weight Watchers program.
1. Overwhelmed by her fame, Applegate developed an unhealthy obsession with maintaining a slim figure, expressing a desire for her bones to show prominently, and at times surviving on just five almonds daily.
The star reflected on the challenging phase of her podcast, mentioning that she had previously kept quiet about her battle with anorexia in front of a public audience.
Over the past few years, Applegate has been confronting a fresh wave of health issues stemming from Multiple Sclerosis, a condition she was identified with in 2021, following approximately six to seven years of experiencing related symptoms.
1. Applegate shared that her preoccupation with her weight can be traced back to childhood when a neighborhood boy commented on her figure, calling her “fat,” after he had touched her thigh.
1. The problem got more complex due to Nancy’s preoccupation with her weight, often expressing comments such as, “You might benefit from shedding around five pounds.”
Nancy grew just as determined as Applegate when it came to shedding pounds, reaching a point where if she managed to hit the mark of 110 pounds – a relatively low weight for her height – Applegate would react with surprise and envy: “Wow, I’m really frustrated! How on earth did you manage to reach 110 pounds?”
Applegate explained: “The cause was my struggle with an eating disorder. I’d only consume five almonds a day, and if I managed to eat six, I’d break down and not want to leave the house – this continued for many long years.”
In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that as: When portraying Kelly Bundy on Married… With Children, Applegate felt drawn to emulate the edgy style of the ‘rock sluts,’ a humorous subculture from the 1980s.
She shared that the decision to don revealing outfits as Kelly to honor “rock culture” was something I came up with.
Nevertheless, the clothing seemed to reinforce Christina’s insecurities about her body shape. In fact, she found herself avoiding food, which became a cause for concern among crew members who would often remark, “Christina hardly ever eats.” She concurred with their sentiments.
Applegate, currently writing a memoir, reminisced about her past behavior, saying, “If I ate something, I’d punish myself. I wasn’t anorexic or bulimic, but for years and years, I denied myself food. It was agonizing… it was unbearably painful.”
At Fred Segal once, while attempting a size-zero garment, she discovered a tiny overlap of her skin beyond the edge.
“Gosh, I don’t like how I appear in these,” Applegate lamented to her friend, who gently replied, “Hold on now! Your words seem unreasonable.”
Despite considering herself quite large, Applegate was extraordinarily committed to being slim. In fact, by the second season of Married… With Children, her tiny size-zero outfits needed alterations to accommodate her.
While seated on the toilet, she was startled by an alarming realization as she glanced in the mirror. Her reflection appeared skeletal, causing a great fright.
Applegate made an effort to change her eating habits, expressing: “I put in tremendous effort to increase my caloric intake, yet a part of me resisted – even with a smoothie, I could barely consume a third of it, drink a third of it. It often ended up being wasted.”
by adding sugar to her savory meals and salt to her sweets, she ensured she wouldn’t eat them.”
The actress who appeared on Friends revealed that she had gained control over her weight concerns by the time she turned 30.
