In a stunning revelation that peels back the curtain on Hollywood's glittering facade, actress Katherine LaNasa has detailed a explosive backstage confrontation with Brad Pitt at the 1996 Emmy Awards.
The incident occurred when a furious Pitt approached LaNasa and her then-husband, legendary actor Dennis Hopper, following a provocative joke made during the ceremony.
The joke that ignited the feud
Dennis Hopper, presenting an award that evening, made a quip that clearly didn't sit well with the Fight Club star. While the exact wording remains guarded, the comment was significant enough to trigger an immediate and visceral reaction from Pitt.
LaNasa, now 58, recalls the moment with vivid clarity, describing how Pitt swiftly located them after they left the stage.
A tense backstage encounter
"Brad Pitt was not happy," LaNasa stated. "He sought us out. He came right up to us, and he was angry." The actress described the atmosphere as thick with tension, noting that Pitt's demeanour was anything but congenial.
She stood by Hopper's side during the uncomfortable exchange, witnessing firsthand the simmering tensions that often run beneath Hollywood's polished surface.
The encounter serves as a rare glimpse into the world of celebrity egos and the very real emotions that awards season can provoke, proving that even the biggest stars aren't immune to taking offence.
