The 75th Emmy Awards have kicked off, and the distinguished Christina Applegate has already graced us with a memorable moment. Stepping onto the stage to present the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series award to Ayo Edebiri for her role in The Bear, Applegate, renowned for her role in the iconic television show Married With Children, which catapulted her to fame, received a heartfelt standing ovation from her peers.
In response to the standing ovation, Applegate, who courageously faces multiple sclerosis, playfully quipped, “You’re totally shaming me and my disability by standing up,” followed by a humorous remark, “Body not by Ozempic.” Applegate’s wit and charm shone through, turning the moment into a lighthearted exchange with her fellow industry professionals at this celebratory event.
