For quite a while now, fans of One Tree Hill have been speculating about a potential feud between its stars Hilarie Burton, Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz. As a few of them have pointed out on TikTok, for example, Lenz and Burton no longer follow each other on social media. Plus, they haven’t appeared on their podcast Drama Queens together since July.
And, in a new appearance from Lenz in the Call Her Daddy podcast, the actress confirmed that all the rumors are, sadly, true.
“I love Hilarie, I have always and will always, and I don’t have any problem with her,” Lenz told host Alex Cooper, per Page Six. “There have been some bizarre misunderstandings that I really hope we can figure out one day, but I love that girl.”
In other words, while it seems the two are indeed feuding, Lenz is already extending an olive branch by showing her affection for Burton and how much she wants to make amends. Is she listening? We’ll have to wait and see!
Prior to the podcast, it seemed the two were not only feuding but also dropping some hints about what really happened. When Lenz announced her upcoming memoir, Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While also in an Actual Cult!), Burton reportedly posted a dig at it online, hinting that the book’s cover was imitating her own.
“I don’t think imitation is the highest form of flattery, I think it’s annoying,” Burton posted. Eek!
Their feud aside, Lenz hasn’t restrained from talking about her co-stars in promo interviews for her memoir, which officially releases later this month.
“I could see it on their faces,” Lenz told People of her co-stars’ reactions to her being in a cult. “But I’d justify it, like, ‘I couldn’t possibly be in a cult.’”
“It’s just that I’ve got access to a relationship with God and people in a way that everybody else wants, but they don’t know how to get it,” she explained.
If you ask us, Lenz has all the signs pointing to a reconciliation. We’ll have to stay tuned to see if Burton agrees.
