Christina Applegate is tired of the critics amidst the devastation of the Los Angeles wildfires.
The Dead to Me actress, 53, spoke out as she waits to see if she and her daughter Sadie, 13, will have to evacuate their home again amid the ongoing fires that have hit the Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Eaton and other areas of Los Angeles.
“There’s not really words for it,” actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler said of the disaster on the Tuesday, Jan. 14 episode of her and Applegate’s MeSsy podcast.
“You know what I have words for? F—— people who are saying that it’s, you know, good. It’s Hollywood and those stupid Hollywood people. Like, you’ve gotta be kidding me,” Applegate replied.

The Married… with Children star added that she thinks the world outside of Los Angeles thinks the city’s residents are solely celebrities.
“We’re a small portion of the city,” Applegate said. “I mean, this is a city of people that are working their asses off at fast food chains or, you know, f—— builders and painters, and it’s a myriad of groups of humans here, so to say good riddance is real sick, and I’m not liking that whatsoever.”
Sigler urged Applegate to “tune out” the comments, to which she replied, “I’ve tuned it out because they’re ridiculous, but I’m calling them out right now.”
Sopranos star Sigler added that residents of Los Angeles are all “dreamers.”
“They’re all there for big dreams, and they work top to bottom, work their f—— asses off,” Sigler noted.
“And sure. Is there a group of people that have been affected that will have the ability to rebuild their lives? I wouldn’t say easily, but soon? Yes. And are there thousands of other people that literally have no idea where they will begin? Yes. And we have to hold both of them in our hearts.”

Applegate said that while her home is still standing, she’s already had to evacuate for a few days amid the fires, adding that she is on “constant alert” for the possibility of another evacuation.

“I just have a backpack … the important papers and things that mean something to you,” Applegate shared of her back that’s packed and ready to go. “I tried to pack light [but] my daughter’s got, like, four suitcases, so I don’t know what’s gonna happen there.”
Sigler then reflected on what she would choose to bring with her in the event of an evacuation, sharing, “Mine were a couple of things from my grandmother, obviously important papers. This sounds terrible, but my SAG Awards because they’re a time and a memory, and you can’t replace that. And, a box of artwork from my kids.”
The blazes raging through Los Angeles have left 24 dead and at least 23 people missing. They continue to burn after initially starting on Jan. 7.
