Not much was known about Christina Applegate’s life story, and that’s the way she wanted it.

Now, stricken with MS and her acting career all but shelved for good, she’s telling everything. From a childhood with horrifying trauma to terrible, abusive relationships and ultimately a happy family life, she tells us all those things she kept to herself over the years.
