Were you a teenager in the 2000s? So maybe you belong to the generation that lived to the rhythm of episodes of the television series “The Scott Brothers”. On screen, Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz played inseparable friends alongside their friend Sophia Bush. After filming the series, the three even went on an adventure! They created the Drama Queens podcast, where they take a behind-the-scenes look at each episode of the hit series. But it seems there has been some hostility in the air for some time. The first suspicion of a fight between Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz came directly from listeners of the Drama Queens podcast.

What could be the reason for the tension?
Peyton and Haley wouldn't be quite the friends we knew from The Scott Brothers. The cause ? The cover of the memoir by Bethany Joy Lenz, which she will publish soon and which will return to her past, especially in a cult. But here it is… The cover of this work did not go unnoticed… On the day of this announcement, Hillarie Burton quickly shared a quote from the singer Pink on her X account. “I don't think that imitation is the highest form of flattery, I find it annoying.” Fans of the series see this as a direct attack on Bethany Joy Lenz, which would affect the cover of her biography. In her opinion, the latter is very similar to that of Hillarie Burton, which was published a year earlier. We'll leave it to you to judge for yourself! Another detail that could confirm the dispute: the two actresses no longer follow each other on social networks.
