Jenna Fischer on Christina Applegate: A 'Office' Co-Star's Support
You know how it is, sometimes you just gotta have your girl gang by your side. And for Jenna Fischer, that girl gang definitely includes her fellow actress and friend, Christina Applegate.
Fischer, known for her role as Pam Beesly on the beloved sitcom "The Office," recently shared some heartfelt thoughts about Applegate, who's been battling multiple sclerosis (MS) since 2021. While the two weren't co-stars on "The Office," they worked together on the 2005 rom-com "Sweet Home Alabama," and have remained close friends ever since.
A Real Friend Through Thick and Thin
Fischer was quick to defend her friend when a few online trolls started questioning Applegate's appearance during her recent Emmy Awards acceptance speech. It was a classy move that shows the kind of friend Fischer is. She didn't hesitate to stand up for Applegate and remind folks that everyone deserves a little compassion.
Fischer's statement, "We have this thing in Hollywood where women are not allowed to age. Not allowed to change. Not allowed to get sick...Christina is brave, strong, and hilarious. That's the Christina I know." Really resonated with fans. It's like, "Hey, it's okay to be yourself, even if things get a little tough!"
It's All About the Support
And guess what? Fischer isn't the only one who's got Applegate's back. Fellow "The Office" co-star, John Krasinski, also showed his support for Applegate on social media. This whole situation just goes to show that true friendship is a powerful thing.
The whole "Office" crew, past and present, seems to be rallying around Applegate. It's amazing to see how they're stepping up to help their friend during a challenging time.
So, whether you're a fan of "The Office" or "Sweet Home Alabama," it's clear that Christina Applegate has some fantastic friends in her corner. And that's what really matters, right?
