Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach has publicly addressed and apologized for a past relationship with actress Christina Applegate that began when she was a teenager. In a recent interview, Bach stated, "I was a single guy on tour, in a band, and I met a lot of girls and I apologize if I hurt her." The relationship reportedly occurred in the late 1980s.
Christina Applegate, then a rising star from the sitcom "Married... with Children," was approximately 17 years old when she began dating Bach, who was in his early 20s. The relationship has been referenced in past celebrity news but has garnered renewed attention following Bach's comments.
Bach's apology comes in the context of modern re-examinations of past behavior in the entertainment industry. He did not provide specific details about the nature of the hurt referenced in his apology. Applegate, now an award-winning actress, has not publicly commented on Bach's recent statement.
The story is often cited in retrospectives of 1980s celebrity culture. There is no verifiable information to support the claim that this relationship "derailed" a union between Applegate and actor Brad Pitt, as their brief dating period occurred later, in 1988-1989, after her relationship with Bach had ended.
