Brad Pitt Gets Rejected by Christina Applegate at MTV Movie Awards Afterparty
Christina Applegate recently revealed in her new book You with the Sad Eyes that she turned down Brad Pitt for musician Sebastian Bach at an MTV Movie Awards afterparty. The incident reportedly left Pitt feeling “sullen” and resulted in him not speaking to Applegate for many years.
Applegate confessed in her book, “I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row. 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.”
According to Applegate, Pitt ended up driving her mom home after the show, and he was apparently very upset by the rejection. She recalled, “Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom … 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.”
It seems that this rejection at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty had a lasting impact on their relationship, as Pitt reportedly didn’t speak to Applegate for many years following the incident.
Despite the awkward encounter, both Pitt and Applegate have moved on to successful careers in Hollywood, with Pitt becoming a household name and Applegate establishing herself as a talented actress in both film and television.
While the details of this encounter may be cringe-worthy, it serves as a reminder that even celebrities have their fair share of embarrassing moments and romantic mishaps.
