Brad Pitt has been winning over women’s hearts for decades now. But even the Hollywood Heartthrob wasn’t everyone’s first choice; at least not Christina Applegate’s. Back in 1989, Applegate made it pretty clear when she left Pitt stranded at an awards show and went after a rock star.

Back then, Brad Pitt was not the popular Hollywood A-lister and was still trying to find his footing in the industry. But Applegate was already enjoying considerable television success.

For years, Applegate kept the identity of the mystery man under wraps, only to spill it all in her memoir, You With The Sad Eyes.

Why Did Christina Applegate Leave Brad Pitt Stranded?

Back in 1989, Christina Applegate was in her early teens and establishing herself in the television industry through Married… With Children. However, Brad Pitt was still an aspiring actor at the time. Being longtime “platonic pals,” she naturally invited Pitt as her date to the MTV Video Music Awards.

But as soon as she reached the venue in a Cecil Chapman gown, someone else caught her eye. Well, that someone was none other than Sebastian Bach, the lead singer of the rock band Skid Row.

According to Applegate, she had been watching Bach throughout the evening and found herself drawn to him. Eventually, she decided to leave with the musician instead.

“In fact, I felt so powerful and sure of myself for once that when the awards show was over, I left with Sebastian Bach, not Brad Pitt,” she wrote.

Brad Pitt Was So Upset That He Didn’t Speak To Christina Applegate For Years

While Christina Applegate left the ceremony with Sebastian Bach, Brad Pitt found himself in a rather uncomfortable situation.

The actress had brought her mother and a friend to the event, and after she walked out with the rock star, Pitt was the one who had to take them home.

Applegate recalled that he “was left to sullenly drive” them back. Understandably, he wasn’t particularly pleased with how the evening had turned out. And his frustration didn’t disappear the next morning. In fact, Pitt spent many years being mad at Applegate.
