Since then, Christian Applegate had said goodbye to red carpets and made his first public appearance on Monday at the Star Awards. Christina seemed very weak, even needing a chair to get through the ceremony.
In her speech, Christina thanked the audience for the honor and briefly touched on her health. Addressing her daughter Sadie, 11, she said: "Thank you for standing beside me for all of this. Oh, by the way, I have a disease. Did you not notice? I’m not even wearing shoes!" She joked to the audience.
