According to a report by Variety, Applegate has currently taken a step back from acting and has chosen to isolate herself as she navigates life with MS. She admits that she is unsure if she will ever return to acting, stating, “I wake up every day and I’m reminded of it…but I might get to a place where I function a little bit better.” Applegate also shared that she is currently isolating herself at home, as it is her way of coping with the disease.
Despite her isolation, Applegate did make a special appearance at the 2024 Emmy Awards as a presenter. As she walked on stage, she received a standing ovation from the audience.
During her interview with Roberts, Applegate was asked how it felt to receive such a warm reception from the crowd. She admitted that she “blacked out” and couldn’t even remember what she said on stage. She described the experience as being “so freaked out” that she didn’t even know what was happening anymore.
While Applegate has no plans to return to acting on screen, she has no intention of retiring either. She shared that she will continue to do voiceover work in order to support her family and keep her mind active.
