Christina Applegate is getting candid about her life — specifically, the time she ditched Brad Pitt during a date for Skid Row rocker Sebastian Bach.
The former Dead to Me star, 54, told the story in her own words in her new memoir, You with the Sad Eyes, in which she opens up about her youth and the wild things she did at the height of her Married… With Children fame at just 17 years old.
At the time, she invited her friend, Pitt — then 26 — to come with her to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, where she was going to be a presenter. Despite having one of Hollywood’s up-and-coming heartthrobs on her arm, she said her focus was elsewhere.
“I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,” Applegate writes, per Page Six. “I hate to put it like this, but Brad back then was still making his way as an actor, and he wasn’t yet THE Brad Pitt, the man of so many people’s dreams.”
“And it gets worse: Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom … home,” she continued. “Apparently, at a gas station on the way, Brad almost got into a fight with a bunch of gang members, and, not surprisingly, was subsequently very mad at me.”

The Sweetest Thing actress admits Pitt didn’t speak to her after the incident for many years. As she recalls, two of Pitt’s girlfriends later allegedly asked her if she was the person who ditched him at the MTV Video Music Awards, letting her know that he was still salty about the incident.
“Eventually, we agreed that I’d been a kid, and though he deserved much better, it was time to forgive the child who dumped him for the lead singer of Skid Row,” she writes.
“Of course, Brad is now THE Brad Pitt, and Sebastian Bach … well, he still has long hair, I guess,” Applegate concluded.
