Sophia Bush discusses Chad and Hillary Burton
von Blake Tif: Sophia Bush
Chad ended up cheating on Sophia Bush after she ignored Hillary Burton's warning not to date him. At the time, Burton was one of Peyton Sawyer's closest friends on set and explicitly told her that they had worked together before on another show which wasn't a great experience. Bush admits she lacked the wherewithal or experience to heed that advice back then. Friends used to joke that looking up 'gullible' in the dictionary would show Bush's face. Years later, while unpacking experiences with their boss, she realized communication was key and felt so much shame because she was wrong about everything. She acknowledges that ignoring the warning negatively affected her relationship with Burton.

Yeah, I mean, you know, it's interesting because for years I thought that's why we stopped being two peas in a pod. Obviously, years later, when all of us started to try to unpack our experiences with our boss, I was like, oh, my God, this is why communication is so important. Because I felt so much shame. And then she was right. And then, again, about who he was then, I know the trolls are gonna have a field day. Like, it's all good. And so...
