- Christina Applegate has revealed in her memoir, You With The Sad Eyes, that she once ditched Brad Pitt at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards.
- Applegate, then 17, invited Pitt as her date but left the event with Sebastian Bach, the frontman of Skid Row, whom she found more attractive at the time.
- Pitt was reportedly furious after being left behind and driving Applegate's mother and best friend home, leading to years of silence between them.
- Applegate later learned from two of Pitt's “movie star girlfriends” that he was still upset about the incident, before they eventually reconciled.
- Sebastian Bach publicly confirmed in 2016 that he was the man Applegate left Pitt for, joking about being “a hotter lay than Brad Pitt” at that moment.
