Why Christina Applegate Is SLAMMING Candace Owens

Christina Applegate calls out Candace Owens over her controversial comments on an adaptive clothing campaign featuring a disabled model. The actress, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, calls out Candace's 'horrifying' opinion made on her Daily Wire talk series and shares the struggles she faces when trying to find accessible clothing options.

[@Jemma29]

She wasn’t targeting Christina Applegate or anyone in a wheelchair… She’s talking about the ridiculousness of the ad, it has nothing to do with MS. I guarantee the company making that advert couldn’t care less.

[@TheYvesDropper]

What's ridiculous about the ad, thou?

[@user-gr9tm4ez7i]

Except she literally is targeting people in wheelchairs. Inclusivity is "in your face" because you're not in that sector of people? My God, Candace Owens. When those who haven't been included in ads, commercials, movies, television shows actually ARE??.... This 💯 positively affects those typically not included and positively affects people watching as it normalizes differences. If Candaces daughter were to require a wheelchair early in life, Im gonnq bet her stance would shift. Ignorance at its finest. I will never ever understand anyone who is completely lacking of any kind of empathy. I am astounded at the horrors of what people are now showing to be who they are. I guess I always thought people were inherently decent and kind. Nope!

I am disabled, and the last thing I worry about is fashion.

I just think God I’m still on this earth for my grandchildren. Great grandchildren and teach them not to be materialistic.

[@metalmacabre9991]

I totally respect your opinion, however some handicapped people wanna look good and wanna have their style, just because someone is handicapped doesn't mean they have to throw in the towel, and wear stuff they don't like. It's like how maternity clothes changed, back in the old days like from the 50s through the 70s, lots of women felt that they couldn't look good or be comfortable with their appearance because, like my mom said lots of maternity clothes were hideous, Lol. They're just trying to show women just because you're handicapped doesn't mean you can't dress the way you want. Like I said I totally respect your opinion, but lots of handicapped people feel like they can't look great because they can't get the same types of fashion that non handicapped get. My ex girlfriend lost her arm in an accident when she was child, and she hated the fact that the shirts she wore had a dangling sleeve that she could never fully fill because she didn't have a whole arm, same thing with people who are missing legs, or a leg, they hate the fact that they can't buy clothes for amputees, I found out that they do make clothing for amputees, and for them that's a cool thing.

Christina, do you even understand what was said???? She had ZERO to say about you, or people who can't walk - which includes me - she was saying WE DO NOT NEED ADs showing people in wheelchairs to understand that people in wheelchairs also wear underwear. She was actually slamming Kim Kardashian's AD not you, and not people who can't walk. Personally, perhaps I'm wrong as well when I say I do not find it attractive to see 200 - 300 pound women posing for underwear ads, in fact, even when they are modeling plus size clothing. I'm not afraid of the word FAT. People get fat. I was fat. I gain and lose and NO I do not find it pretty. I don't believe anyone truly feels happy fat. People may say that, but secretly they're dieting. Because it is unhealthy and it is unattractive and any SANE doctor in Europe at least will tell you it is an illness. Obesity is an actual illness, imbalance and often hazardous to our health. We are so used to walking on friggin egg shells in America that we have become all inclusive in an ABUSIVE ways - meaning, we USE people who are affected in some way for politics and that's disgusting.

We do NOT need disabled women in ads! It’s so obvious that it’s literally selling the image of someone’s misfortune so that the people behind the advertisements can capitalize on some fake compassion and awareness that they don’t care about at all. It’s manipulation. It’s insulting. If you care so much than donate to research or assistance for those disabled that are less fortunate. How about donating to veterans that have their limbs in battle to protect YOU and your interests? Putting an image up is done for ONE reason….. fake virtue and care SELL. As if spending money on a product that uses these images does ANYTHING for the people that actually suffer. Truly virtuous people DO NOT need or desire the public to praise and recognize them. What matters is what and who you are when nobody is paying attention. Integrity is far more important.

It is significant that Christina's illness is mentioned here first, although this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. You will witness here how manipulation works. First of all, very important, the pity card is played. In this way, compassion is directly appealed. This person is seriously ill, which triggers protective instinct and everyone she attacks is also attacked by us. If she is attacked, we defend her. This keynote is set first. And already no one is completely neutral anymore and the opponent has a harder time for everything that is still to come. Then clips and audios are wildly mixed together that are not in context with each other, but support the story of the narrator. This happens every day on TV in the news. Expressions of opinion of the reporters have no place there, but are included there with a reason. Opinion-making in favor of the desired direction.

"don't want to see that in our face" 1:20 So sorry Candace Owens has to "see that" some people are disabled. Its really inconvenient for her to be reminded of the struggles of others. Maybe Candace needs to reaffirm her Christian beliefs which she is always touting. Or perhaps she is modeling herself after Jezebel, and in that case, she nailed it.

Ppl should look at it from both sides. Candace even said to 'educate her' if she is wrong.

Either way ppl jump the gun way too soon b4 seeing both sides

[@whatreallymatters571]

That makes no sense, no one tries to mimic disabilities, that just doesn't happen. She is just mad that a person in a wheelchair is in an ad. It's literally just a model, nothing different from anything else. The problem is that people like her see anyone not like her as a political being, when they are just existing. Seeing a person in a wheelchair should have never angered her so much unless she is just abalist and doesn't want to see disabled people. Her anger is very weird.

“Conservative views” have become synonymous with narrow-mindedness (even according to Candace’s definition of what that is), and just lacking empathy and compassion altogether. I’ve heard some truly malicious things come out of her mouth that not even God would support. People like her put themselves on a pedestal in the name of God and criticize everything under the sun, forgetting she is also an imperfect human under that sun. It’s not enlightening, it’s annoying and unnecessary. I come from a conservative, religious family, and they never speak with such harshness. They speak with respect and compassion, even for those who don’t share their views and beliefs, or even when speaking about topics that put their views into question. I’ve seen them address those situations with love, tact and respect. So, I’ve seen the difference and can’t support someone who seems to enjoy being bashful, divisive and belittling when it comes to things she doesn’t agree with.

I think that overweight people in certain cultures is associated with wealth and success, but in Western countries that have Christianity as their foundation, overweight people have the negative connotation of being perceived as greedy, pleasure seeking and undisciplined, which are not admirable traits for a Christian woman. Of course, diet and food accessibility is very different now, and it is more difficult to have a healthy diet. Also, fashion in body types changes over time.

As an older, very conservative, Christian, white man, I’ve been in a wheelchair due to MS for over 23 years I do get both sides of this. Candace would have been well served to have spoken with people who view the issue differently than her. She may have discovered things she didn’t know about. I know that there is a sense of acceptance when the broader society acknowledges someone (or someone(s)) existence. There are still many in our society who assume that when you become visibly disabled (that is they use a wheelchair, white cane, walker etc ) that you cease to live normal life and either go to a nursing home or become homebound.) I am as articulate today as I was before the wheelchair and served churches as pastor and several places in denominational leadership, but yet today (in 2024)when I go out to eat with a group or just with my wife it is very common that the server will assume I can’t talk or think & ask those with me what I want to eat. After the meal I am almost never offered the ticket-even if it is just my wife and me. At this point people will remind me of the ADA so of course people are recognised. But it is normal for builders (whether a house builder or someone building multimillion dollar mega buildings) to try to get around building something accessible. For clothes, retailers may not know there is a need until something like an ad is put in their face.

My good friend's wife died from complications from MS (one week before she was to have a kidney transplant) leaving behind a loving husband and 3 beautiful girls ... she worked from home as a Nurse because of her condition. She was a Damn Trooper. (sigh) Ignorant people just don't understand 😔

Actually, Ignorant people claim that only people who have a problem or know someone with said problem has a right to have an opinion about that problem.

[@westword6558]

Well Candace did say educate me on it

[@DMDbodybuilder]

How easy and how lazy to feature a woman dressed in skims sitting in a wheelchair? The challenging, difficult and more practical thing for billionaire designer Khardashian to do would be to specifically design and create flattering and adaptive clothing lines of skims for disabled individuals. It could be a smaller spin off clothing line and it may not make millions of dollars but it would be a break even business that a billionaire designer could do as a philanthropic measure that would probably give her more press and advertising for free while helping others.

[@lilahbertrand4567]

I’m in a wheelchair and have gained weight which of course makes me feel insecure. I’ve always admired and agreed with Candace on her opinions but not on this one. Some issues you just have to have experience in before “you’ve had enough of stupidity”. I got excited when I saw the ad. Although I’m in a sitting position, ain’t nothing wrong with feeling pretty and maybe sometimes sexy. In my opinion she should have kept her opinion to herself on this issue.

[@jrenee8303]

This has nothing to do with disabled people and everything to do with Candace wanting to find a way to criticize the Kardashians while trying to still appeal to her audience. She’s friends with Kanye and she’s always doing commentary bad mouthing Kim

Why is it pandering to have a model in a wheelchair though? Why are disabled bodies political? Maybe the model just wanted to be a skims underwear model, end of story.

[@hopeintruth5119]

This is literally it by making clothing that they can use easily. When do companies have to speak out to make products to bring themselves money and open up a market to people who probably need or would like something to cater to them. Which is usually good for both parties. Your comment just sounds ridiculous to mem

A wheelchair user DID explain things to Candace and she (Candace) said she appreciated it. The Bra and panties aren't regular they are specially designed for the disabled. Candace didn't know that but a wheelchair user quickly corrected her. Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/bofUe42qgcmWodE the clip starts @ 15:09

[@tnysgrl41]

It doesn't matter whether or not the bra and panties were specially designed for the disabled or not. We see ads on TV every day of models wearing underwear. So why did she seem so offended that someone in a wheelchair was modeling underwear? If she's gonna be offended, she should be offended by the advertising itself, not the group of people doing the modeling.

[@Geekgod67]

When you are confined to a wheelchair, you need pants that fit completely different. The rise must be higher in the back. Also wheelchair bound clothing needs accessibility like Velcro versus buttons.

[@paulbrown9441]

My father was disabled. Candace Owen is right. Not being an oil painting myself, I wouldn't expect to be a model for beauty products. It's not discriminatory, just that they wouldn't sell many products based on my appearance. No common sense. At all!

[@zulemasanchez1233]

I like Candice but sometimes we need to hear the other side of our arguement. I am teachable and I will admit when I am wrong. Christina is right she explained where we need to stop and research situations before making hurtful comments. I don't always see the important stuff that Kim has done because there is so much shallow stuff going on. But she went to President Trump to help a woman out of prison and now this. Kim did a good thing she saw a need and met it again. I applaud and admire her for using her time, imagination and money to help people. Most beautiful, famous, rich people only think about themselves.

[@ghostZero82]

Let's be honest this inclusivity thing is not only political but done for personal gains just like you find out later on with a lot of charities. So I'm with Candence on this it's definitely out of control.

[@clayscloset2618]

So we just should have continued with ads with only white people who are healthy and showing families of a man and a woman correct? Sure that’s realistic. SMH. What’s wrong with including everyone? I thought that’s what love and the world was about, oh wait that’s for those of us who have kindness and empathy and love that people get to be who they are now and not have to hide their true identity bc others don’t like it when it doesn’t affect their life at all.

I don’t understand why owens got so upset with ads showing models in wheelchairs. What is her problem? I think it’s great they’re doing ads like that. I didn’t know those were a thing until seeing this clip but it seems like owens has a problem for no reason. I’m guessing she’s always this caustic about issues but I don’t watch her so I could be wrong.

[@vintihar03]

ooh caustic is a great word to describe her!

[@Lori-lp6uc]

I don't think disabled people are feeling slighted because the model isn't in a wheelchair. If anything, they're thinking: "I wouldn't wear those shoes with that skirt!" Get real. Every body type does not need to be represented. It's about fashion design, not who's wearing it. Probably the only people who care about who's wearing it are the designers. Edit: I also believe that if a person confined to a wheelchair wants to be a model, why shouldn't they be allowed. If that's their dream, they have as much right to it as anyone else.
