Christina Applegate is reflecting on her awkward breakup with Brad Pitt.
In her memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, which hit shelves March 3rd,
the actor says after they turned from friends to more.
She took Brad to the MTV Music Awards, September 1989,
and he was the perfect date, offering to pick up her mom, Nancy Pretty,
and her best friend at the time, Johnny Depp's ex-wife, Lori Ellison.
But Christina, who was farther in her career success than Brad was at the time, admits,
I left with Sebastian Bach, not Brad Pitt.
Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom and Lori 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.
And she says the two didn't talk for many years after that.
But eventually, they rekindled, agreeing she was a kid,
and he eventually forgave her for the time she dumped him.
For the lead singer of Skid Row.
