In the book, Christina reveals that she was asked to present at the 1989 MTV VMAs when she was 17, and invited the then 26-year-old A-list actor to come along with her crew, including Johnny Depp, who said she was “in love with for years.”
However, it was actually Skid Row rocker Sebastian Bach who got her attention that night.
“I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,” she writes, via Page Six.

“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.”
“And it gets worse: 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,” she added.
Later on, she found out Sebastian was already dating someone and had a kid, while Brad “didn’t talk” to her “for many years.”
“Much later … two of [Pitt’s] movie star girlfriends asked me if 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,” she noted in the book.
“Eventually, we agreed that I’d been a kid, and though he deserved much better, it was time to forgive the child who dumped him for the lead singer of Skid Row,” Christina wrote.
“Of course, Brad is now THE Brad Pitt, and Sebastian Bach … well, he still has long hair, I guess,” she amusingly went on to say.
