In the latest episode of her podcast Drama Queens, Burton—who performed frigid girl Peyton on the teen drama for six seasons—recalled filming a scene with Chad Michael Murray by which she needed to undress the actor and kiss him “the entire plan down his body” sooner than eliminating his belt.
“Chad used to be frigid to tear away a white tank top on beneath his button-up shirt so I wasn’t appropriate kissing his bare body in consequence of that’s unparalleled,” she told her used costars Sophia Bush and Bethany Pleasure Lenz, per Us Weekly. “We’d all recognized every quite heaps of for a few months [or] a few weeks? … I was so whacked out about it.

Burton used to be so miserable with the scene that she remembers telling the director that it can perhaps perhaps well be “nasty” to shoot more than three takes. “I was, devour, crying in my trailer. I was devour, ‘I don’t are making an strive to provide this. It feels dirty. It feels devour they’re making an strive to sex the entire lot up,’” Burton said. “I felt devour a prostitute. It used to be the basic 2d that I was, devour, ‘I’m kissing somebody for cash. I’m getting paid to provide this, devour, performative [thing]’. … There’s a morality thing the put you’re devour, ‘Am I a sex worker in a technique? Is that this OnlyFans in 2003?’”
Hilarie Burton once told Us Weekly that One Tree Hill used to be now not at the starting put supplied to her as a “sexy” teen sequence. “I blame all of that shit on The O.C.,” Burton said within the 2018 interview. “That’s The O.C’s fault in consequence of our demonstrate used to be now not that the least bit when I signed up for it, and then The O.C. aired on Fox over the summer season sooner than any of our quite heaps of presentations aired, and it used to be sexy, and it used to be nasty.

It used to be such a 2d of sisterhood that truly solidified my friendships within the help of the digicam in consequence of I knew that we were going to proceed to provide stuff that felt unparalleled.”
It be clear these bonds were solid thru fire. In 2017, Burton, Bush, Pleasure Lenz, and 15 quite heaps of ladies wrote an delivery letter, accusing OTH showrunner Mark Schwahn of sexual misconduct.
