Sebastian Bach is breaking his silence after Christina Applegate revealed she ditched Brad Pitt for the rocker at 1989 VMAs.
“[I] was very surprised when that all hit,” Bach, 57, said of Applegate’s confession in an interview with Billboard published on Friday, March 13. “I was a single guy on tour, in a band, and I met a lot of girls and I apologize if I hurt her … If I hurt anybody.”
Bach added that during that time of his life, he was just beginning his journey as a bona fide rockstar.
“When you’re young you get thrown into the whirlwind of rock ‘n’ roll, meeting a lot of people and you better hold on tight,” he continued. “It’s like being on a roller coaster … It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologize for it.”
Applegate, 54, and Bach’s connection made headlines following the release of her memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, earlier this month. In the book, the Married With Children actress revealed she was once entangled in a love triangle with Pitt and Bach. While Applegate brought Pitt, who hadn’t made a name for himself in Hollywood at the time, as her date to the VMAs, where she was presenting, she quickly became entranced by Bach, who was there with his band Skid Row.
“I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,” she wrote. “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.”
While Applegate came with Pitt, she ended up leaving the show with Bach.
Despite their 2007 divorce, Christina Applegate and ex-husband Johnathon Schaech are on really good terms. “My marriage was connected to my career, everything about my work. It was, you know, Christina is an actress. We were in the limelight,” Schaech said of his ex during an April 2022 appearance on Jana Kramer‘s “Whine Down” podcast. […]
“I felt so powerful and sure of myself for once that when the awards show was over, I left with Sebastian Bach,” she continued. “Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom and [friend] Lori [Allison] 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.”
Applegate added that she and Pitt “didn’t talk for many years” after the incident, and she never really got to have a romance with Bach.
“Eventually, we agreed that I’d been a kid,” she wrote of Pitt, noting that “he’d deserved much better” and “it was time to forgive the child who dumped him for the lead singer of Skid Row.”
