Christina Applegate returned to the “MeSsy” podcast one week after revealing she was misdiagnosed with MS to tell listeners that she will never stop advocating and fighting for those impacted by the disease, even if she does not have it herself. The Emmy winner said people in the MS community are still “my people.”

“Even though I don’t have this disease, I’ve fallen in love with everyone that we know, our listeners, our friends that have MS,” Applegate said to podcast co-host on the show Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who was diagnosed with MS in 2001 (via Entertainment Weekly). “I’m still your warrior, and I’m still going to speak out on your behalf forever and ever. Despite not having MS. I still feel like part of this community. No matter what, I love you.”
