podcast, Burton recalled the incident which took place while the teen drama was on location in Honey Grove, Texas in 2007. and Bethany Joy Lenz, “Chad walked up and goes, ‘What are you doing?’ He said that to our boss in the bar… He watched our boss grab me in front of a lot of people, and you know, Chad didn’t have anything to lose cause he knew our boss hated him anyway.” She continued, “A lot of people had a lot to lose, so you don’t speak up when you have a lot to lose.
Bush shared that she believed Murray’s starring role as Lucas Scott on the show contributed to his ability to defend Burton. Said Bush, “He was protected as the No. 1 on the call sheet. He had the most power, so he could come up and shove our boss off you and get in a fight. And I’m glad that he did. I want everybody to follow that lead.”
Bush also talked about the importance of protecting others. “This idea that looking at the ground is OK — it’s not,” she said. “And thank God, Hilarie, that you had that moment with Chad, who was already so at odds with our boss.”
