AceShowbiz - Bethany Joy Lenz has dismissed rumors of a rift with her "One Tree Hill" co-star, Hilarie Burton Morgan. On the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Lenz expressed her love and support for Morgan, saying, "I love Hilarie. I have always and will always, and I don't have any problem with her."

Speculation about a potential feud arose in March when fans noticed that Morgan had unfollowed or blocked Lenz on Instagram. Some theorized that Morgan was upset about the similarities between Lenz's book cover and her own 2023 memoir. However, Lenz denied these allegations, stating, "There have been some bizarre misunderstandings that I really hope we can figure out one day, but I love that girl."

Despite these misunderstandings, Lenz clarified that her friendship with Morgan remains intact. In 2021, the two actresses reunited to host a "Drama Queens" rewatch podcast alongside their former co-star Sophia Bush. Morgan's departure from the podcast in July this year was a result of her exit from the show after season 6.

While confirming her friendship with Morgan, Lenz admitted that she and Bush had experienced some challenges during the filming of "One Tree Hill". Lenz attributed this to their contrasting perspectives on life. However, she emphasized that this has not hindered their bond, as they have discussed these issues in the past.

Lenz also addressed her involvement in a cult during her time on "One Tree Hill". She revealed that her involvement had a significant impact on her relationships with her castmates. Lenz is currently promoting her memoir, "Dinner for Vampires", which delves into her experience in the cult.

Despite the challenges she faced, Lenz expressed gratitude for the cast and crew's support during her time in the cult. She acknowledged their efforts to help her break free from its influence.

Regarding the upcoming "One Tree Hill" sequel series on Netflix, Lenz stated that it was "too early" to discuss her involvement. She emphasized that while she is open to revisiting the role of Haley James Scott, she is not yet aware of the project's development stage or her involvement in it.
