Christina Applegate apologized on X after issuing fiery responses to people who challenged her viral reaction to Donald Trump 's victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. The Emmy winner reacted to the election results by telling any fan that voted for Trump to unfollow her on the social media platform. "Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal," Applegate posted on X . "Don't want followers like this. So yeah. Done. Also after today I will be shutting down this fan account that I have had for so many years because this is sick." One person wrote back to Applegate saying: "I genuinely have no idea who you are, but Harris has no one to blame for her loss but herself. You're just whining. Get over it." "Oh I'm whining??? Really. If you don't know who I am yet you follow me then fuck off," Applegate fired back . "I am disabled. Everyday of my life is hard." The actor was set off even more when one X account replied to her with a sexist comment that read: "The problem is women can't think straight one week out of the month and that's not good for a president and the American people know that." "Are you fucking kidding me? Get on the phone now. Give me your number!!!" Applegate replied . "I will ruin you. Don't fuck with a disabled woman who also, you ass fuck oxygen thief probably Trumper piece of shit, will have. Better life than you sitting in your mamas basement. Don't even try me." The "Dead to Me" star eventually stopped replying to commenters and issued an apology post on X : "I apologize. I'm still reeling and sobbing. But I'm not angry anymore. Just going to go back to my bubble and watch a shit ton of Bravo shows So peace to all. I suggest you do the same. Very soothing." Applegate was not the only Hollywood talent to negatively respond to Trump's reelection. Grammy winner Billie Eilish posted on her Instagram Story saying the election outcome is "a war on women," and musician Ethel Cain posted a lengthy message on social media that was just as fiery as Applegate's response. "If you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you," Cain wrote. "Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you've done and who you are as a person." Applegate spent the majority of Election Day encouraging her followers to vote with messages such as: "Please please vote today if you haven't already. Do it for the women you love. The kids you love. The disabled people you love."
