Christina Applegate breaks out in tears when she announces her father's death

Christina Applegate shed her first tears about the loss of her father and announced his death during the last episode of her “chaotic” podcast.

The star “Dead to Me” became emotional when he subsequently spoke to actor Joanna Garcia Swisher and co-moderator Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

When Swisher looked back on how she had died with the loss of her two parents, Applegate announced that her father, Robert “Bobby” had died appeals, recently at the age of 82.

“You are probably wondering why I cry,” she said as she was crying. “My father only died a week ago. This is the first time that I really cried.”

The attack on his death in the podcast seemed to be cathartic for the Emmy winner, who said: “I think somehow … I have not allowed myself to have that. Too busy with it.”

When Applegate explained that she and her family already “knew” that her father was close to death, she wondered whether it made the grief easier or more difficult.

“Is that an apology not to feel?” She wondered. “Because you know someone will go? And you said goodbye?”

Applegate opened her relationship with her father when the podcast Sigler and Swisher said: “I didn't grew up with my father. He and my mother separated when I was like 5 months old, but he's been in my life since then.”

Although he was not completely absent, the actor admitted “married to children” that her father was “not part of the lesson, part of life”, but gave her “beautiful siblings and an amazing stepmother”.

Applegate spoke beforehand about feeling away from her father when he appeared with him in the BBC genealogy series: “Who do you think are you?” 2013.

“My father and mother separated when I was so young,” she said. “I couldn't spend the time with him that I or he think that I or he would have liked to have spent.”

Although the star Nancy Priddy grew up from her mother, her music producer father always knew that his daughter was intended for something special.

In a history of the music label from 2009 in the 1970s, Casablanca Records, written by co -founder Larry Harris, the Record Exec recalled in memory with Robert Applegate and the “Effire six -year -old named Christina”, which sometimes came with it.

“From the day he arrived, he told everyone who would listen to how his little girl would be a star,” wrote Harris. “He was right.”
