Christina Applegate reveals she ‘grew up in an abusive home’ during rant

ANCHORMAN star Christina Applegate has launched an expletive-filled rant about her past, defending her right to speak up against Donald Trump.

CHRISTINA Applegate has revealed the truth about her upbringing in an expletive-filled rant, while defending celebrities for speaking up about politics.

The actor took to Twitter to lash out against those who said she was an “out of touch celebrity” after she attended the Women’s L.A. March on Jan. 21.

The Anchorman star said, “Weird to me when you say I can’t have a voice. I’m also a mother, a daughter and a human. I was birthed the same way you were.”

The 45-year-old got personal with a series of messages about the backlash.

“I grew up [in] an abusive home. Now I make it public. Don’t you dare say I don’t understand.” She continued, “Don’t you dare say I don’t understand the struggles. We lived on food stamps. Don’t you dare say I don’t know.”

She also commented on President Trump’s executive order that imposed restrictions on immigration and travel for citizens of seven countries.

“@realDonaldTrump how can you live with yourself?”

Applegate later apologised for her defensive rant and blamed it on being passionate about the cause.

She wrote, “Sorry for my outburst. I’m just trying to deal with everything. As a mum I just want a safe place for her. I’m sorry for my language.”

It comes just after NCIS star Pauly Perrette launched a similar anti-Trump tirade, featuring personal details about her life.

She tweeted: “’Out Of Touch Celebrities Opinions being shoved down my throat’ WHAT? You don’t know me! I’m overwhelmed with sorrow doing as much as I can.

“You think my thoughts don’t matter because I’m an actor? I had thoughts when I worked for a car lot, taco bell, was a bartender, and worked as a cook assistant in the bottom of a boat in a foot of dirty fish water … You think I’m not a regular human? If it impresses you, I also cum laude graduated in Sociology, Psychology and Criminal Science and wanted to be FBI, my dream.”
