Sebastian Bach is apologizing over his involvement with Christina Applegate in the late '80s, shedding light on the love triangle. The Sebastian Bach Issues Apology Over Christina Applegate And Brad Pitt Drama first appeared on The Blast
Following the release of Christina Applegate‘s memoir, Sebastian Bach has issued an apology over the love triangle involving the actress and Brad Pitt. Reflecting on his younger days in the whirlwind world of rock ‘n’ roll, Bach acknowledged the past and apologized to anyone he may have hurt with his actions.
Sebastian Bach Apologizes Over 1989 Incident
Applegate’s memoir, “You with the Sad Eyes,” was released on March 3, and soon afterward, the media highlighted one anecdote in which she ditched Pitt for Bach in 1989.
At that time, Applegate was best known for her role as Kelly Bundy on the sitcom “Married… with Children,” while Pitt was a lesser-known actor at the beginning of his acting career. Bach, meanwhile, was the frontman for the heavy metal band Skid Row.
On March 12, Bach spoke with Billboard and addressed the story, saying he was “very surprised when that all hit.” The rock star then issued an apology to all those he may have hurt in the past.
“I apologize if I hurt her… if I hurt anybody. 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. It’s like being on a roller coaster… It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologize for it.” Bach said.
Christina Applegate Shared Details In Her Memoir
In Applegate’s memoir, she wrote how she and Pitt had been “platonic” friends for a long time before she asked him to be her date at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards.
However, Bach caught the 17-year-old actress’ attention at the ceremony. Applegate wrote, “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.” That night, she ended up leaving with Bach, while Pitt drove her mother home.
As the actress shared, she and Pitt didn’t speak for a long time after the incident, but had made amends years later. She wrote in her book that Pitt “deserved much better.” Later, Applegate discovered that Bach was in a relationship and had a baby.
The Actress Spoke About The Incident In 2015
In 2015, Applegate was a guest on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” and in the game Plead the Fifth, the actress was asked about leaving Pitt mid-date in 1989.
Cohen’s question was: “Who was the guy that you ditched Brad Pitt for?” Applegate took a moment before asking how many plead the fifths she had. At that point, she had already used up all her passes. Still, she refused to name the person.
Cohen asked her questions, such as whether the person was famous or an actor. “Was he known to the public?” the host asked, to which Applegate replied, “Mmm hmm.” Applegate remained tight-lipped throughout the questions and didn’t drop a name.
Sebastian Bach Wrote About The Actress In His Book
In 2016, Bach was on a radio show when he revealed that he was the guy Applegate ditched Pitt for. In his memoir, “18 and Life on Skid Row,” released that same year, he wrote that he and the actress “hit it off” in an instant. He said Applegate was “very nice, very beautiful, and very famous,” and part of why he pursued her was he thought it would be “good for the band.”
He was in a relationship with a woman named Maria back then, but in his mind, he thought, “No rings? No strings.” Although he said he pursued Applegate, he revealed that they did not sleep together, adding that he was “attached” to Maria, and Applegate was so young.
“So there was a time on this earth when Sebastian Bach was, like, a hotter lay than Brad Pitt. Of course, that’s going in the book! I’ve gotta tell somebody that,” Bach said in the radio show.
Sebastian Bach Wanted A Skid Row Reunion
Skid Row formed in 1986 in New Jersey and rose to fame in the late ’80s, releasing multi-platinum albums and songs, such as “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” and “Youth Gone Wild.”
Bach joined the band as the frontman in 1987, helping define Skid Row’s sound with his stage presence and powerful vocal chops. He left the band in late 1996 due to disagreements over the band’s direction.
In February, Bach said he had wanted to reunite with his former bandmates to perform as Skid Row once again, but it seemed unlikely. “The more I keep saying yes, yes, yes, but they don’t do anything, then I’m like, well, I mean, at some point, it’s like beating my head against a wall,” he noted.
