We love Christina Applegate. She's still young, and yet has seemingly been gorgeous forever. And she's a hell of a comedic actress. We were shocked and upset when we heard she had breast cancer, and then amazed at how bravely, boldly, and openly she took on the disease.
Perhaps because Christina Applegate - a great beauty, talent, survivor - is so impressive to us and many TV-watchers like us, we've all made the mistake of idealizing her. Which would explain the horror and controversy over this picture of her smoking a cigarette...
Yeah, she did it. The lady with the double mastectomy lit up, and you know whoever took this photo got paid. Smoking's a terrible habit, and no one should do it, as this 3-year old kid could tell you. However, fucking up happens all the time. We fucked up at least twenty times today, and that's only the stuff we noticed. But because Christina Applegate is a celebrity and not a regular person, we now give you "a source" telling The Insider how and why she fucked up:
"Christina had been a smoker for quite some
time," the source says. "She stopped smoking when she received her
health news last year, but as everyone knows it's a difficult to break
an addictive smoking habit. Considering all the stress she's had over
the years, she had that occasional weak moment which has led to the
occasional cigarette. We need to remember she's only human."
