Christina Applegate’s ex-husband, Johnathon Schaech, praised her resilience after she presented at the Emmy Awards on Monday, January 15
Fans of Christina Applegate were thrilled to see her gracing the Emmys stage — as was her ex-husband, Johnathon Schaech.
“She danced opening night on broadway on a broken foot! Beat cancer! She’s the toughest human being I’ve ever met! F–k MS!” Schaech, 54, tweeted on Monday, January 15, alongside an article about Applegate’s Emmy Awards appearance. “So proud of her! Go Christina!”
Applegate, 52, was the first presenter of the night at the 75th annual awards show and received a standing ovation as she approached the mic. “Thank you so much. Oh, my God, you’re totally shaming my disability by standing up,” she quipped, referring to her battle with multiple sclerosis. “Body not by Ozempic.”
As the audience continued to shower her with praise, Applegate insisted, “We don’t have to applaud every time I do something.”
Applegate noted that it was “an honor” to portray “funny, flawed, complex characters” throughout her career like the ones nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category before announcing The Bear‘s Ayo Edebiri as the winner.
