After accidentally eating fecal matter, Christina Applegate admits that she had to wear diapers.
On a recent episode of her podcast, MeSsy, with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Applegate stated that she ate a salad that was apparently contaminated with fecal matter. It made her so sick — for days — that she had to wear diapers.
“I was so sick, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t [do] anything,” she said. After going to a stool test, she discovered that she’d contracted sapovirus, which can lead to acute gastroenteritis.
“It is when you ingest the fecal matter of someone else from your food,” Applegate explained. “Someone else’s poop went into my mouth, and I ate it.”
Christina Applegate Admits to Wearing Diapers Amid Sapovirus Diagnosis
While she isn’t entirely certain where she contracted the virus, Applegate believes it was from a salad she bought from her go-to restaurant. Later that same night, she said, she woke up “in a pool of s–t.”
“Didn’t know it happened, and having MS at 3 o’clock in the morning and trying to change your sheets, it’s not fun,” she stated on her podcast. “But this brings me to my next point, which we can talk about: I’m wearing diapers.”
Applegate unfortunately isn’t the only one who’s had to wear adult diapers. Amid her own battle with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system, Sigler also had to rely on diapers when she couldn’t make it to the bathroom on time.
“Christina and I have talked about this,” Sigler said. “Putting on an adult diaper, you’re not gonna feel sexy.”
The two actresses and podcast hosts have bonded over their shared struggles with the relentless autoimmune condition.
“You’re never gonna slip one on and be like, ‘I’m ready for my day,'” Sigler continued. “It’s something you gotta wear because your body is malfunctioning.”
