Sophia Bush claims she suffered 'every kind' of abuse from 'older man' on TV show
Sophia Bush has made serious allegations about suffering 'every kind' of abuse from 'someone old enough to be my father' on the set of a TV series, which had been on her 'bucket list.' Based on the timing, the 42-year-old One Tree Hill alum was most likely referring to her role as Detective Erin Lindsay in NBC procedural Chicago P.D., which she exited in 2017 after four seasons. 'I had a workplace, ongoing trauma revolving around an unending situation with someone old enough to be my father and I was like what is happening?' Sophia recalled on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky Tuesday. 'When I look back at it, I had the opportunity after two years to go. I did the thing I learned to do and said, "I will not have my integrity diminished by someone else's behavior. I will be unflappable. I will come to work and do my job." And I couldn't.' Bush went on to describe the following two years as 'physical hell' where she would suffer spontaneous illness, hives, hair loss, crippling anxiety, insomnia, and 'really crazy weight fluctuation.' 'As an extrovert who loves people, to be hit with anxiety in such a way that I could barely be out of the house - if people touched me in public, I would jump out of my skin,' the SoCal native explained. 'Because I had to go to work ready for war all the time, I had to learn where to stand to not get elbowed in the ribs or how to block a scene to not be touched. It was just exhausting.' Six months after her character was written off the show, Sophia received a call from an 'executive apologizing for what they'd done and not done' during the height of the #MeToo movement. 'And [they] said, "We're very aware we just made it out of [MeToo] unscathed,"' Bush scoffed. 'And I was like "Glad you did! I'm in so much therapy. I've been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, but I'm thrilled you guys didn't get dragged through the press!"' And while the four male showrunners on Chicago P.D. are all in their 50s, the billionaire creator Dick Wolf - who also masterminded the Law & Order and FBI franchises - happens to be 78 years old. And two of the Work in Progress podcaster's former castmates - Elias Koteas and Jason Beghe - are in their 60s. Sophia reunited with her Grey's Anatomy co-star Chris Carmack for Jeff Fisher's switched-at-birth psychological thriller The Stranger in My Home, which premieres June 24 via VOD. Bush added: 'When I look back at it, I had the opportunity after two years to go. I did the thing I learned to do and said, "I will not have my integrity diminished by someone else's behavior. I will be unflappable. I will come to work and do my job." And I couldn't' Sophia said: 'As an extrovert who loves people, to be hit with anxiety in such a way that I could barely be out of the house - if people touched me in public, I would jump out of my skin. Because I had to go to work ready for war all the time, I had to learn where to stand to not get elbowed in the ribs or how to block a scene to not be touched' On the personal front, Bush might have secretly married her girlfriend Ashlyn Harris as they've both wearing wedding bands on their left ring fingers during the past two weeks. The Freedom Hair actress finalized her divorce from second ex-husband Grant Hughes on December 30 after 13 months of marriage. The 39-year-old retired soccer goalkeeper co-parents two adopted children - daughter Sloane, 4; and son Ocean, 2 - with ex-wife Ali Krieger, and their divorce was finalized December 4 after four years of marriage. Sophia and Ashlyn began dating in October 2023, but they spoke on the same feminist panel during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June 2023.

'Going to work ready for war': Sophia Bush reveals alleged abuse on TV set
Washington [US], June 5 (ANI): Actress Sophia Bush has shared her harrowing experience of alleged physical and emotional abuse on the set of a television series. As per People magazine, in a candid conversation with Monica Lewinsky on her podcast 'Reclaiming,' Bush revealed the traumatic impact it had on her life. Bush described joining a TV show after her nine-year run on 'One Tree Hill' as a dream come true, but it turned into a nightmare. She alleged that she suffered "every kind" of abuse at the hands of someone old enough to be her father. Bush said she had to be constantly on guard, likening it to "going to work ready for war all the time," as quoted by People magazine. The actress recounted experiencing physical symptoms like hives, hair loss, and weight fluctuations. She also struggled with anxiety, becoming defensive and withdrawn. Bush said she couldn't bear to be touched or looked at, especially in the work environment. Bush eventually left the show in April 2017, months before the '#MeToo' movement gained momentum. She revealed that she was given two options: change her environment or have her character written off. Bush chose to leave, citing a need to respect herself in a situation where she didn't feel respected. In October 2017, Bush received a call from an executive apologising for their inaction. The executive acknowledged that the show had "just made it out of that unscathed." While Bush didn't directly name the show, her experience bears a resemblance to her time on 'Chicago P.D.,' where she played Erin Lindsay from 2014 to 2017. Bush previously opened up about her departure from the series, citing a need to prioritise her well-being. (ANI)

Sophia Bush appears to be wearing a wedding band when with girlfriend Ashlyn Harris at a gala
Sophia Bush and her girlfriend Ashlyn Harris made a stylish duo while attending the 2025 American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala in New York City on Wednesday. The One Tree Hill star, 42, and the former soccer player, 39, matched in black looks for the star-studded event, held at Cipriani. Sophia — who recently sparked engagement rumors with Ashlyn — showed off her toned arms and flashed a hint of her midriff in a black dress with a slit along the torso. She accessorized with statement silver earrings and a chic clutch. She also appeared to have a wedding band on her ring finger. Meanwhile Ashlyn opted for an oversized black blazer with a low-cut black top underneath and matching pants. She wore black gloves on her hands while posing with her arm around Sophia. Sophia and Ashlyn — who previously denied cheating on her ex-wife with Sophia — publicly confirmed their romance in April 2024 when the actress came out as queer and revealed she was in love with the soccer star. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Earlier this month Ashlyn gushed about Sophia while appearing on the Second Wind podcast. 'What I love so much about her is she makes me feel the way I only thought we read about in books,' she said. 'She holds up a mirror and makes me feel like I'm the best human, I'm the best mother, and it's exactly what I needed and what I need to heal so much pain and trauma and grief in my life.' Harris co-parents two adopted children - daughter Sloane, 4; and son Ocean, 2 - with estranged wife Ali Krieger, whom she filed for divorce from in September 2023 after four years of marriage. Meanwhile Sophia finalized her divorce from second husband Grant Hughes in January. She filed for divorce from him in August 2023 after 13 months of marriage. Bush and the Wide Open podcaster began dating in October 2023, but they spoke on the same feminist panel during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June 2023. Rumors began swirling immediately that Harris was already dating Bush with some claiming she had cheated on Krieger. Harris broke her silence in November to deny cheating on her ex-wife in a lengthy statement. 'People have run with a narrative that's unbearably painful,' she said. 'Not all marriages last forever. Our did not. For many reasons. And while I understand that the false narrative about why might feel juicer or make a batter [sic] headline, they are simply not true. 'Let me be clear: I did not step out on my marriage. I was always faithful in my marriage, if not always totally happy. Like in many partnerships, there was work and therapy and processing done. None of this happened on a whim.' Sophia and Ashlyn publicly confirmed their romance in April 2024 when the actress came out as queer and revealed she was in love with the soccer star In February they sparked engagement rumors, after Sophia was seen flashing a ring on her wedding finger. She sported an ornate gold and silver ring as she posed at the TIME Women of the Year Gala in West Hollywood. Speaking to Glamour magazine last year, Bush revealed in her own words that she now identifies as queer: 'I feel like I can finally breathe,' she said. And the Chicago PD actress admitted that she is indeed 'in love' with Harris whom she became friends with in 2019 then started a romantic relationship with in October 2023 after her marriage with Grant fell apart and Ashlyn left her wife. 'I didn't expect to find love in this support system,' began the star who noted that her bond with Harris was rare and beautiful. 'I don't know how else to say it other than: I didn't see it until I saw it.' As far as falling for Ashlyn, she said it was a new frontier. 'And I think it's very easy not to see something that's been in front of your face for a long time when you'd never looked at it as an option and you had never been looked at as an option,' she shared. 'What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life. And now I know she thought the same thing about me,' said the star. Bush added that the road to her romantic relationship with Harris was long after they met in 2019 and spent years becoming friends: 'People looking in from the outside weren't privy to just how much time it took, how many painful conversations were had,' said Sophia. 'A lot of effort was made to be graceful with other people's processing, their time and obligations, and their feelings.' Wednesday's ballet gala was also attended by Alec Baldwin, 67, and wife Hilaria, 41. The yoga instructor put her toned legs on display in a black and white sleeveless mini dress. She added height to her look with a pair of black heels. Meanwhile Alec looked handsome in a black suit. The pair looked in good spirits, despite the fact that their reality TV show, The Baldwins, has not yet been renewed for a second season, after it was blasted by critics as being a 'snoozy infomercial.'
