"One Tree Hill" podcast "Drama Queens" is a reclamation from the show's toxic work environment and memories, actress Sophia Bush told CBS News. The actress joined hosts Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers on Tuesday to discuss her new medical drama "Good Sam" and why she and her co-hosts are so proud of their podcast's success.
Bush spent nine seasons on the teen drama "One Tree Hill" as character Brooke Davis, a popular teenage socialite obsessed with cheerleading, boys and being the best. The show was a hit and jumpstarted the careers of most of its cast, Bush included. But Bush and other co-stars later revealed that they were subjected to a toxic and harmful work environment.
"In many industries, you've heard so many people talk about toxic work culture — and it's a strange thing when you've had the good and the bad wrapped up in the thing that launched your career," Bush said. "Its' allowed us to completely love our show and not to be cheesy, but it feels like it might be a model for healing for other people as well. Reclamation feels pretty bada**."
