Christina Applegate has long been a vocal fan of reality TV; that should come as no surprise to fans. She’s been an outspoken supporter of Bravo franchises like Below Deck and The Real Housewives of New York, along with several other Real Housewives franchises.
What may have come as a surprise was the actress’ appearance at the 2024 Emmy Award ceremony. When Christina was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, she chose to step further away from the public eye. As such, it was a pleasant surprise to see her at the Emmys – and not just see her, but hear her voice and watch her present an award.
When the audience gave her a standing ovation, she joked, “Oh my God, you’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up.” Despite the levity, it was a bit of a hard night for the star. So, how did she unwind? Well, one can only guess.
Christina uses some classic Bravo to take the edge off
Adir Abergel, Christina’s hairstylist, spoke with PEOPLE about how they prepared for the ceremony that night. “Getting ready for big events can be overwhelming,” he explained. “I focused on being present and enjoyed every moment together.”
Adir continued, “We were having fun! Christina and I have been friends for a long time and she is someone that I love deeply. Showing up for her on that night was very important to me.” He added, “We were chilling, laughing and watching Real Housewives of New York,” he says. “It was like catching up with my best friend.”
That only leaves the question of which season they were watching. Ultimately, he expressed just how proud he was of Christina considering all she’s given the public.
“I just think about the immense contributions she has given us throughout the years, and how she still gives so much! Her career, her work ethics inspire me deeply.”
