LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christina Applegate, the iconic actress known for her roles in Married... with Children and Dead to Me, recently thrilled fans of the Bravo reality series 'Below Deck' by revealing on X that she had been offered a chance to appear on the show.

However, Applegate made it clear that she has some very specific conditions before she would consider stepping aboard a luxury yacht for a 'Below Deck' charter. In her post, Applegate expressed her deep love for 'Below Deck' and humorously outlined her 'terms' for joining the show. 

She said, “So you all know I love Below Deck. They recently offered for me to come do a charter. Only way I’d do it is if the entire interior is Kate, Aesha, Daisy, and Fraser. Don’t need a chef. Oh yeah, I do. Rachel. And then we just watch movies together in the primary. And any of our captains. Sandy, Jason, Glenn, Kerry. And just to spice it up for my girl Daisy, her dudes.”

Applegate’s post highlights her affection for the show’s cast, singling out some of its most beloved crew members. She particularly mentions Kate Chastain, Aesha Scott, Daisy Kelliher, and Fraser Olender—fan-favorite chief stews known for their roles on the Bravo show.

Applegate’s mention of Rachel Hargrove as the chef highlights her appreciation for the culinary talent Below Deck is renowned for. By listing multiple captains—including Sandy Yawn, Jason Chambers, Glenn Shephard, and Kerry Titheradge—she also left the door open for any of the show’s well-known leaders to helm the charter. While it remains uncertain whether Applegate will make an appearance on the show, her tweet has undeniably sparked interest and speculation.

Christina Applegate reveals ‘Below Deck’ helped with her MS struggle

Christina Applegate shared how the popular Bravo reality show 'Below Deck' has played an unexpected but significant role in helping her cope with multiple sclerosis (MS).  Applegate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021, a chronic illness that affects the central nervous system and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, difficulty walking, and muscle weakness.

Since her diagnosis, Applegate has been open about the daily challenges she faces. In her journey to manage the condition, she found comfort in an unexpected place: the high-seas drama of 'Below Deck'.

“She’s a huge Bravo fan,” Kelliher said. “When she messaged me, I couldn’t believe it. But we started talking, and she’s been so supportive, even though she’s going through so much herself.”
