Christina Applegate reveals how she dumped Brad Pitt – for Skid Row rocker Sebastian Bach – at the height of her “Married… With Children” fame, as she details the dark truths behind her sunny Hollywood persona, reports Page Six.
The beloved star, now 54, admits in her new memoir, “You With The Sad Eyes,” that she very nearly didn’t take the sitcom role that made her a star, because “I hated Kelly Bundy.”
After the show became a hit, she was asked to be a presenter at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards and invited Pitt, then 26 and part of her LA posse — which also included Johnny Depp, whom Applegate admits she was “in love with for years.”
But that night, she only had eyes for the “18 And Life” singer. “I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,” Applegate, who was 17 at the time, writes. “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.”
The actress adds: “And it gets worse: Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom … home. 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.”
She regretted the decision as soon as she found out that Bach already had a long-term partner and a 1-year-old child. Pitt, meanwhile, “didn’t talk” to her “for many years.”
