Christina Applegate<\/strong> is getting candid about her life \u2014 specifically, the time she ditched Brad Pitt<\/strong> during a date for Skid Row rocker Sebastian Bach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 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\u2026 With Children<\/a> fame at just 17 years old.<\/p>\n At the time, she invited her friend, Pitt \u2014 then 26 \u2014 to come with her to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, where she was going to be a presenter. Despite having one of Hollywood\u2019s up-and-coming heartthrobs on her arm, she said her focus was elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cI had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,\u201d Applegate writes, per Page Six<\/a>. \u201cI hate to put it like this, but Brad back then was still making his way as an actor, and he wasn\u2019t yet THE Brad Pitt,<\/a> the man of so many people\u2019s dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it gets worse: Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom \u2026 home,\u201d she continued. \u201cApparently, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a92010 RAMEY PHOTO<\/span><\/p>\n The Sweetest Thing actress<\/a> admits Pitt didn\u2019t speak to her after the incident for many years. As she recalls, two of Pitt\u2019s girlfriends<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n \u201cEventually, we agreed that I\u2019d 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,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, Brad is now THE Brad Pitt, and Sebastian Bach \u2026 well, he still has long hair, I guess,\u201d Applegate concluded.<\/p>\n This story Christina Applegate Talks Ditching Date With Brad Pitt for Heavy Metal Rocker, Jokes \u2018It Gets Worse\u2019<\/a> first appeared on Globe<\/i><\/a>.
