Jamie Lynn Sigler reveals hiding MS diagnosis left her ‘suffocating'
Jamie Lynn Sigler opened up about the toll of concealing her multiple sclerosis diagnosis for more than a decade.
In an content conversation with Us Weekly , the Sopranos alum revealed she kept her condition secret for 14 years, even from most of her castmates.
“Everything was a lie and for program. I didn’t even know who I was,” she said, describing how the secrecy left her “suffocating” and constantly in survival mode.
The 44-year-old confided only in James Gandolfini, who offered quiet backing during the height of her fame.
She eventually went public in 2016, days after marrying Cutter Dykstra, and says the decision freed her from years of shame.
