The American host, Megyn Kelly, has faced criticism from several celebrities following comments about actress Christina Applegate, who has discovered that her doctor told her she might not suffer from multiple sclerosis ( MS, despite years of severe symptoms.

Applegate, 54, had made the diagnosis public in 2021. In a recent episode of her Messy podcas, she showed that the symptoms have not improved and that she now feels back at the starting point, not knowing what is going on with her health.

Commenting on the statement on her show, The magic Kelly Show, Kelly criticised the way the actress spoke publicly about the disease, claiming she misled the followers. These comments caused reactions on social networks, writes DailyMail.

Kelly’s former colleague at Fox News, Janice Dean, who has been living on multiple sclerosis for more than 20 years, sharply criticised the presentation and called its behavior inappropriate.

Dean expressed support for Applegate, stressing that diagnosing this disease can be a long and difficult process.

In defense of Kelly came commentator Eric Bolzing, who asked Dean not to turn his personal dispute into a public crash.

Meanwhile, actress Melissa Gilbert reacted as well, asking Kelly to reflect on how someone facing a devastating diagnosis would feel and then learn that it could have been wrong.

Kelly and Applegate representatives refused to comment on the Daily Mail. So far, a new diagnosis has not been made known to explain the symptoms of the actress. /Telegraphy/
