HuffPost
As the Emmy-winner mourned her dad on her "MeSsy" podcast, she revealed it was the "first time" she had cried since losing him.
Christina Applegate shed her first tears over losing her father while announcing his death during the latest episode of her “MeSsy” podcast.
The “Dead to Me” star got emotional while speaking with actor JoAnna Garcia Swisher and co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler on Tuesday’s episode, which is known for its candid conversations about life’s challenges and the hosts’ experiences managing multiple sclerosis (MS).
As Swisher looked back on how she coped with the loss of both of her parents, Applegate shared that her father, Robert “Bobby” Applegate, recently died at the age of 82.
“You’re probably wondering why I’m crying right now,” she said while weeping. “My dad just passed away a week ago. This is the first time I’ve really cried.”
Addressing his death on the podcast seemed cathartic for the Emmy-winner, who said, “I think kind of ... I wasn’t allowing myself to have that yet. Too busy with this, too busy with that.”
