Why Christina Applegate Is SLAMMING Candace Owens

These news outlets love using the words like "SLAMMING", "DRAGGING", etc. So dramatic.

She wasn’t targeting Christina Applegate or anyone in a wheelchair… She’s talking about the ridiculousness of the ad, it has nothing to do with MS. I guarantee the company making that advert couldn’t care less.

I am disabled, and the last thing I worry about is fashion. It’s hard enough to pay for everything a handicap person needs without the fashion industry, trying to reach into my pocketbook .If fashion industry really cares about handicap, then give it to those who want it free but leave me out of it. I just think God I’m still on this earth for my grandchildren. Great grandchildren and teach them not to be materialistic.

Why did they splice in old footage of her speaking about something else?

I am a disabled woman and I agree with both of these women. We do need more accessible fashion and representation but putting a healthy fit model wearing shapewear in a wheelchair is not the way to do it. Instead design an outfit made to look great sitting down, easier to put on and take off etc.

If Christina wants to talk with Candice on her show I’m sure she would be totally welcomed.

I've been in a wheelchair for 8 yrs. And Christina Applegate really fills me with rage. I'm very offended by her words. Im disabled but not helpless and if Christina had a brain she would know that we want to be treated with honesty. Something Cristina knows nothing about

Christina, do you even understand what was said???? She had ZERO to say about you, or people who can't walk - which includes me - she was saying WE DO NOT NEED ADs showing people in wheelchairs to understand that people in wheelchairs also wear underwear. She was actually slamming Kim Kardashian's AD not you, and not people who can't walk. Personally, perhaps I'm wrong as well when I say I do not find it attractive to see 200 - 300 pound women posing for underwear ads, in fact, even when they are modeling plus size clothing. I'm not afraid of the word FAT. People get fat. I was fat. I gain and lose and NO I do not find it pretty. I don't believe anyone truly feels happy fat. People may say that, but secretly they're dieting. Because it is unhealthy and it is unattractive and any SANE doctor in Europe at least will tell you it is an illness. Obesity is an actual illness, imbalance and often hazardous to our health. We are so used to walking on friggin egg shells in America that we have become all inclusive in an ABUSIVE ways - meaning, we USE people who are affected in some way for politics and that's disgusting. That is the disgusting part.

Christina completely missed her point, as did most of the people in the comment section. The reason why Candace is calling this out as stupid, is that disabled or not, ANYONE can wear the shapewear, regardless of your physical abilities or limitations. The ad is stupid. The point made by Kim is laughable virtue signaling. What is she going to do next? Do we need to see photos of amputees to understand that the shapewear is still what it is and always has been? Shapewear?

It's hilarious that they edited Christina's OLD interview footage into this instead of staying TRUE to her CURRENT image and voice.

I’m surprised again. You know today we have many people that are deemed disabled or challenged that act, model, and preform in many different situations. Ms. Applegate is a wonderful person who deserves respect. I’m afraid if Candace ever finds herself in any physical or mental distress she would not handle it well.

I think its sad that Christina has got Multiple Sclerosis. She has gone through that and cancer. Truly being thrown a harsh pill to swallow but at the same time I can't see how Candace's comments are directly related to her. I had the opportunity to sit next to her as an extra and work on a film behind the camera with her in it. Multiple Sclerosis is devastating disease and life threatening. Its affects can have psychological impact on the mind and cause emotional strain. I think it would be best for her to live life as much as possible now because she might be able to in the near future.

I WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR for SIX YEARS & I am NOT offended by what Candace said. I actually like most of what Candace has to say. I think she is real, raw, and honest. She speaks on a lot of things mainstream media will not, and I find her admirable when she says things that may not be the “trend” or politically correct. I am disabled and I am sick of all the labels and sensitivity. We are just people like everyone else.

My heart goes out to Christina and as she says, she would be happy to talk with Candace. I believe Candace is just making a general comment on how advertising is money and media driven rather than caring about people individually.

"I didn't know that we had to see that in our face" says it all. This is so stigmatising. She doesn't seem to have issues about seeing non disabled people in her face.

I have MS and lupus. It is excruciating ti walk and even when going out with family or friends have to rest for a couole of days. She has no idea of the pain or suffering just leave disabled people hidden away so you dont 'have to see them'

MS is a horrible life changing disease. It's very hard, especially for women, to feel normal and feminine, as you lose all freedom of movement. There are many levels of MS, mild and aggressive. My wife was diagnosed with an aggressive form of MS years ago. It started as a limp on the right leg. Many horrible treatments and years later, she lost all bodily functions, ability to speak, and requiring 24/7 care in a nursing home. Eventually, she passed away, as her body completely shutbdown.😢

It is significant that Christina's illness is mentioned here first, although this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. You will witness here how manipulation works. First of all, very important, the pity card is played. In this way, compassion is directly appealed. This person is seriously ill, which triggers protective instinct and everyone she attacks is also attacked by us. If she is attacked, we defend her. This keynote is set first. And already no one is completely neutral anymore and the opponent has a harder time for everything that is still to come. Then clips and audios are wildly mixed together that are not in context with each other, but support the story of the narrator. This happens every day on TV in the news. Expressions of opinion of the reporters have no place there, but are included there with a reason. Opinion-making in favor of the desired direction.

My mother suffered from MS for the last 37 years of her life. Because she wasn't a priveledged elitist and had to look after herself with the help of family , fancy gala gowns were the last thing on her mind. And yes , practical loose fitting garments and stretch pants with elastic waist bands were her typical attire .

Ignorance comes in many forms. Christina, thank you for the classy approach you’re taking to bringing your voice and the voice of this portion of the community to the light. Awareness and education, in love and kindness, is such a powerful way forward. Appreciate you for showing an example of this so we have healthy discourse together.
