Sophia Bush has hit out at One Tree Hill producers, as she claimed there were “deeply inappropriate” to her and Chad Michael Murray following their split.
The couple began dating in 2003, before getting engaged a year later and then filing for divorce after five months of marriage.
Now, over ten years after her divorce from Chad, Sophia has opened up about the difficulties they faced from One Tree Hill producers during their split.
“There was no space to self-reflect. There was like, ‘This is my integrity, this is my job, I will not falter for one second or one minute ever on this set. I will be the most f***ing professional person anyone has ever seen,” she said on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast.
“What’s complex about this issue for me is that the person who I was 21 and stupid with is also an actor,” she said, as she admitted to being “a really naive kid.”
The star continued to say that producers were “really deeply inappropriate to both of us” about their split.
“They ran TV ads about it. It was really ugly,” she continued.
“I imagine that was hard for him as well. It was a very ugly situation on their part. I think they kind of lived for the drama.”
“They made practice of taking advantage of people’s personal lives and not just for me and for my ex — for other actors on the show who would share, like as you do when you get close to people, deeply personal things that were happening in their lives and they would wind up in storylines. It wasn’t okay,” she claimed.
