�One Tree Hill� alumni stars Hilarie Burton Morgan and Sophia Bush
claimed that their careers were threatened and they were coerced into
doing a sexy Maxim photo shoot for its November 2006 cover, which
neither said they wanted to do.

Morgan and Bush both claimed they were essentially told they had to do
the shoot by show�s creator, Mark Schwahn, or face a variety of
consequences, during this week�s podcast �Drama Queens� on Monday, the
Hollywood Reporter reported.

�It was very much a, �No one else wants you, the studio wants to cancel
your show. If you don�t start to generate some buzz and attract these
male numbers, we�re dead and all your friends are going to lose their
jobs,'� Morgan � who played Peyton Sawyer on the CW series explained.

�We got told we had to do it,� Bush � who played Brooke Davis � added.
�Because Brooke had been so sexualized on the show and the whole idea
of this hometown hottie was Rachel�s storyline. I was like, �Look, if
the girls want to do it, that�s great. I don�t.�

�� And I literally got told, �If you do not go and shoot this cover
with your co-stars, we will guarantee you that you will never be let
out for a press day, a movie, an event, any of your charities. We will
keep you here forever,'� she added.

Their former co-star, Bethany Joy Lenz, told Bush and Morgan she was
told she couldn�t do the shoot because she was �too fat.� Both co-stars
said it was news to them, because they were told Lenz had turned down
the offer. Lenz played Haley James Scott on the hit series, Page Six
noted.

�They told me that they didn�t come to me because I was too fat,� Lenz
told her co-stars on the podcast. �I wasn�t a hot girl on the show
anymore.�

In 2017, Schwahn was accused of sexually harassing several members of
the �One Tree Hill� cast and crew five years after the show finished,
the outlet noted. The list included Morgan, Bush, and Lenz, all three
who previously alleged he had �manipulated� them �psychologically and
emotionally,� the Hollywood Reporter noted.

The former showrunner never addressed the accusations publicly and was
fired a short time later from his role as showrunner of E!�s �The
Royals� following accusations of sexual misconduct and an
investigation, Page Six noted.

Seems the Muslims are right; women shouldn't be let out of the house
without a male family member acting as chaperone.
