Christina Applegate is furious after people said the Los Angeles wildfires are what “those stupid Hollywood people” deserve.
Christina Applegate has called out the “real sick” people saying the Los Angeles wildfires are what “those stupid Hollywood people” deserve.
The 53-year-old actress and her daughter Sadie, 13, were among those forced to evacuate their homes amid the disaster – which has claimed the lives of at least 25 people and caused destruction in several communities – and she has been left appalled by comments online by people saying it’s a “good” thing.
Speaking on her ‘MeSsy’ podcast, she fumed: “You know what I have words for? F****** people who are saying that it’s, you know, good. It’s Hollywood and those stupid Hollywood people. Like, you’ve gotta be kidding me.”
The former ‘Married… with Children’ star highlighted that not everyone living in Los Angeles is a celebrity with a high income.
She continued: “We’re a small portion of the city.
I mean, this is a city of people that are working their a**** off at fast food chains or, you know, f****** builders and painters, and it’s a myriad of groups of humans here, so to say good riddance is real sick, and I’m not liking that whatsoever.”
When co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler suggested she should stop scrolling social media, she replied: “I’ve tuned it out because they’re ridiculous, but I’m calling them out right now.”
‘Sopranos’ star Jamie-Lynn, 43, called for respect for everyone impacted, no matter how wealthy they are.
She said: “They’re all there for big dreams, and they work top to bottom, work their f****** a**** off
“And sure. Is there a group of people that have been affected that will have the ability to rebuild their lives? I wouldn’t say easily, but soon? Yes. And are there thousands of other people that literally have no idea where they will begin? Yes. And we have to hold both of them in our hearts.”
Christina – who has multiple sclerosis and uses a walking aid to get around – has packed all the essentials in a backpack in case they have to feel their home again.
She said: “I just have a backpack … the important papers and things that mean something to you.
“I tried to pack light, [but] my daughter’s got, like, four suitcases, so I don’t know what’s gonna happen there.”
