Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt has grabbed headlines for his stellar performances in movies, as well as, for his off-screen romances. However, there was a time when a sitcom actress ditched him at a major awards ceremony for another guy.

 

The Fight Club actor has dated several celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Juliette Lewis before getting married to Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. It is a known fact that both his marriages were unsuccessful.

 

While Pitt was trying to establish his acting career in Hollywood, the actor dated an aspiring actress who ditched him at the MTV Movie Awards ceremony. The actor had revealed that he came to try his luck in the showbiz industry in 1986.

 

The actor used to be thrilled whenever he used to cross a studio where films were made. A struggling actor then, Pitt gave a lot of auditions and went through financial constraints in the beginning. 

 

He lived with many other men including Jason Priestley, another struggling actor who starred in Beverley Hills 90210. Both of them were trying their luck in Hollywood at the same time. 

 

Meanwhile, Christina Applegate, a sitcom star, was also trying to establish herself in the mid-eighties. She would often call Priestley and Pitt over for barbecues at her place, USA TODAY reports. 

 

It was a time when Applegate had already started to create a niche for herself in Hollywood. She became famous while acting in Married... with Children, a popular sitcom on the Fox Network, which was aired for 11 seasons.

 

Reports have it that Brad Pitt and Applegate started dating during the eighties. The duo looked like a perfect couple while they were in a relationship. However, the actress admitted that she gave the Troy star a slip at the MTV Music Awards in 1988 for another man. 

 

Andy Cohen had queried Applegate about that fateful night at an interview in 2015. The actress acknowledged of ditching Pitt at the awards. However, she refused to divulge the identity of the guy she left with when asked about it. 

 

Although Applegate refused to disclose the name of the mystery guy, Sebastian Bach, frontman of Skid Row and ex- Gilmore Girls star came forward a year later and revealed that he was the guy for whom Applegate had ditched Pitt at the award ceremony. 

 

The actor said that Applegate was asked about the dumbest thing she ever did by a publication. She responded by saying that she ditched the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star for another “dude.” Bach said he was that “dude.”

 

However, Christina Applegate neither confirmed nor denied his story. As of date, there seems to be no hostility between her and Brad Pitt after that particular MTV Awards evening years ago, Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports.
