Summary

Join Alex in NYC for a sit-down interview with Mischa Barton. Mischa reminisces on how her whole life changed after booking The OC and the crazy world she was suddenly thrust into at such a young age. She discusses being the only teenager on set, bullying behind the scenes, cast members dating each other, and why she ultimately chose to leave the show. Mischa reflects on what life was like after The OC… the paparazzi’s unhealthy obsession with her, her team trying to control and manipulate her, and the lies she was told from those she thought she could trust. She also opens up about the time she learned her boyfriend had illegally recorded them, forcing her to fight for the rights to her own body. Mischa talks about her rock bottom moments and how she has come back stronger, healthier, and happier than ever. She even spills the tea on her current dating life and what she needs in a partner. Get ready to hear Mischa Barton’s story like never before. Thank you to Casey Lichtman of the Blumstein Team @ Corcoran for providing the space for us to record this interview.
