The actress had earlier hinted at retirement after the completion of her Netflix show 'Death to Me'. The actress was visibly moved by her Hollywood contemporaries, who gave her a standing ovation. Despite it being such an emotional moment, Christina maintained her trademark humour.
The actress looked teary-eyed; she took a moment before she remarked, "You are totally shaming me with disability with standing up." Amid the continuous applause, she cracked a few jokes about her body not being 'By Ozempic' (a drug being used to aid weight loss). She continued to say, "We don't have to applaud every time I do something." Christina Applegate also spoke about the man who accompanied her on stage, saying, "I actually don't need him here, he's just really cute."
