Sebastian Bach is apologizing for stepping out with Christina Applegate while she was dating Brad Pitt.
â[I] was very surprised when that all hit,â the Skid Row frontman said of Applegateâs recent memoir confession that she ditched Brad Pitt at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards to hang out with the rocker.
âI 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,â he added in comments published by Billboard on Friday.
âWhen youâre young you get thrown into the whirlwind of rock ânâ roll, meeting a lot of people and you better hold on tight,â he explained.
âItâs like being on a roller coaster ⊠It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologize for it.â
Reps for Pitt and Applegate did not immediately return Page Sixâs requests for comment on Friday evening.
Applegate, 54, confesses in her new memoir, âYou with the Sad Eyes,â that she took Pitt to the awards show that year, but found herself pining for the âYouth Gone Wildâ singer, 57.
âI had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,â the âMarried With Childrenâ star writes in the book, which dropped earlier this month.
âI hate to put it like this, but Brad back then was still making his way as an actor, and he wasnât yet THE Brad Pitt, the man of so many peopleâs dreams.â
Still 17 at the time, Applegate recalls that she âfelt so powerful and sure of [herself] for onceâ that she impulsively âleft the show with Sebastian Bachâ when it was over.
âAnd it gets worse: Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom ⊠home,â she writes. âApparently, 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.â
She and the âF1â actor, now 62, âdidnât talkâ following the incident for âmany years,â and she regretted the decision once she discovered the rocker was in a relationship and had a 1-year-old child.
âEventually, we agreed that Iâd been a kid,â she writes of Pitt, adding that âheâd deserved much better.â
In the memoir, she also refers herself to as âthe child who dumped [Pitt] for the lead singer of Skid Rowâ and quips that the âOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodâ star âis now THE Brad Pitt, and Sebastian Bach ⊠well, he still has long hair, I guess.â
The âAnchormanâ actress also recalls in the memoir two of Pittâs âmovie star girlfriendsâ later asking âif it was true that I was the girl who left Brad behind at the MTV Video Music Awards. Brad had apparently told both of them separately that he was still mad at me.â
She went on to marry Johnathon Schaech in 2001. Following their split in 2005, she married Dutch musician Martyn Lenoble in 2013. They share daughter Sadie, now 15.
Pitt, meanwhile, was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005, and later Angelina Jolie, with whom he shares six children.
The former power couple parted ways in 2016. They settled their divorce after a contentious eight-year battle in December 2024, and heâs now dating Ines de Ramon.
As for Bach, the rocker shares three children with ex Maria Aquinar. He married Suzanne Le in 2015.
