Sophia Bush Details Abuse on 'Chicago P.D.'

Sophia Bush has publicly revealed that she endured extensive physical and emotional abuse while working on NBC's 'Chicago P.D.' following her role on One Tree Hill. Speaking on the 'Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky' podcast, Bush described suffering from severe anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, hives, weight changes, and isolation due to abuse by a much older colleague. She initially remained on the show out of professionalism and coping mechanisms developed earlier in her career, but ultimately left in 2017 as the situation became unbearable. Bush stated she exited just before the #MeToo movement gained traction and later received an apology from an executive acknowledging the harm. Her account underscores the personal toll of toxic workplace environments in the entertainment industry. Bush's revelations have prompted renewed discussion about workplace abuse in Hollywood.
