The subject of Mischa Barton’s recent interview regarding her exit from The O.C. came up during the Tuesday (June 1) episode of Welcome to the O.C., Bitches!, the podcast hosted by her former costars, Melinda Clarke and Rachel Bilson. “You know Melinda, and I were talking immediately after [the interview] came out, and we were just like, ‘wait, what?’ ” Rachel, 39, said to comedian Danny Pellegrino, who mentioned Mischa’s comments about experiencing “bullying” behind the scenes. Rachel responded to Mischa, 35, claiming that Bilson was promoted “last minute” to a regular cast member after the first season. “That’s actually completely false and not what happened,” said Rachel.
