“At 27 years old, I had the only plastic surgery I’ve ever had … I went under,” said Applegate, slamming the producer for planting “seeds” in her head.
Christina Applegate is coming clean about the work she’d had done.
During Tuesday’s episode of her and Jamie-Lynn Sigler‘s Messy podcast, Applegate revealed she’s only had one plastic surgery procedure — and it came after comments from a “very famous” person.
Applegate, who was 27-years-old at the time, said she was filming when one of the producers pointed out the “bags” under her eyes.
“I was on a show and one of the producers — [a] very famous [person] who did a very famous show as well — said, ‘Hey we’re having a lot of trouble lighting under your eyes. The bags under your eyes are so big,'” the Dead to Me star recalled.

While Applegate ultimately succumbed to the producer’s pressure, it’s not the first time she’s called someone out for critiquing her appearance.
Last year, Applegate called out an Instagram troll who speculated that she had gone under the knife amid her battle with multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2021.
“Sooooo I made the unfortunate decision to look at some comments on an article… about me and my kids at the [Critics Choice Awards],” she tweeted in January 2023.
When Applegate told the hater that she wasn’t being “nice,” the social media user claimed the Golden Globe nominee had a “bad plastic surgeon.”
