I do think some people overreacted. And some fans refuse to just let Sophia be happy, all because they don't like WHO she is happy with. She has the right to date whoever she wants, feel however she wants to feel about any of the show's couples, and express her love for Austin & BJu. That's where Sophia and Brooke are in life now. So just... Let them live their new life. Part of me doesn't blame her for saying the things she did. Because no offense, but I know how hateful SOME BL'ers can be. It wouldnt surprise me if they were the ones who initiated it. And if I were her, I'd step up and start defending myself at some point too.

Yes, Sophia should respect the fact that there are still a lot of BL fans out there. But at the same time, BL fans should respect the fact that both her, and Brooke are in NEW relationships. And just because there are still a lot of BL fans around, that doesn't mean she can't express her love for her new boyfriend, and Brookes new life. I just think it's all childish, dumb, and unnecessary honestly :/

^ perfectly summed up I'd say.

It is unproffesional, though because of the way she just decided to directly reply to this one person even though before then she hardly answered questions about OTH, but some people have just made it into some HUGE thing.

But since when is it her job to be professional, on her own personal twitter? I just don't really understand what the big deal was. I don't even think she ever said anything that bad at all. Just because some fans may not have necessarily LIKED what she said, I don't think that automatically makes her comments "unprofessional". I can understand some fans being disappointed in her comments, but to call them "offensive" is going a little too far, I think.

What did she say?

yeah what did she say?

I can't find a link to it, but she replied to a BL'er and told them that Brooke was much happier now. It started up a huge mess and Sophia has blocked a ton of people from her twitter.
There's probably more but I'm afraid that's all I know.

I'm sorry but unless you've followed all of what went on, don't tell me that fans don't have a right to be pissed off.

Sophia was RUDE, CHILDISH & UNPROFESSIONAL. She completely disrespected a HUGE part of her fanbase, and refused to seperate Chad from Lucas... then, instead of just apologizing, she tried to backtrack and act as if she hadn't just basically slapped her fans in the face.

I'm a mature, intelligent adult. I don't appreciate having some celebrity, who I've always admired by the way, being rude as fuck to me and then condescendingly acting as if it was no big deal.

Oh and by the way, I don't want to hear shit about BL'ers needing to get over anything.

This is NOT the first time Sophia has acted like an unprofessional child, yet BL'ers IGNORED IT MULTIPLE TIMES! But when you constantly shit all over the people who have helped make you a "celebrity"?? You WILL get backlash.

She has a right to speak and people need to stop overreacting. Just be grateful that she chose a role and did so well that you so dearly love the character of Brooke Davis which if you forgot was a role that she portrays. She is an actor, and as a person she has a right to have her perspective, so let her express it and stop fussing about it.She is a fan of the show too. I understand that a fan would be disappointed if there OTP couple isn't supported by one of the portrayers...but that's as far as it should go....calling it "unprofessional" is absurd. Just because Sophia said those things doesn't make you love BL any less...so why care?

If the same thing happened to Hilarie and she supported Jake/Peyton instead Lucas/Peyton then of course I would be disappointed but that's as far as I would go because if it weren't for Hilarie,Lucas and Peyton would not be my favorite couple. I hope that made sense!

I don't even think she ever said anything that bad at all. Just because some fans may not have necessarily LIKED what she said, I don't think that automatically makes her comments "unprofessional".

Kelly, it was NOT a matter of fans just "not liking what she said". She got ignorant with people on twitter, deleted some of her posts afterwards, and then the backlash really started. People had already saved screenshots of her posts etc. And I'm sorry, but she's in the public eye, it IS her responsibility to remain professional. And she failed to do so.

^ just wondering who you were replying to with your comments above?

^ just wondering who you were replying to with your comments above?

My first 2 comments were a general comment/response.

Oh, ok (:

And I've got to post something that I found on LJ. This is just to show that it's so NOT just us BL'ers here on fanpop that are unhappy...

Is this chick fucking serious right now? Let me JUST say that for as long as she’s been playing my favorite character, I’ve essentially had a hand in signing her million dollar paychecks with my weekly ratings I’m so generously giving her, her crew and the ever so shitty CW network since it blows the biggest dick in existence.

I’m a BL fan but I’m not as flipped and obsessed as some of the people that like to rant on tumblr or the internet in general. I’ve sat here and literally laughed at everything Sophia has said thus far about BL. I haven’t cared in the slightest and I’ve told people to calm their asses over the stupid things she has said because she’s allowed to have an opinion…. BUT this bitches right to talk about her feelings toward BL has expired I don’t even know how long ago and <to be honest Sophia… NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOU AND AUSTIN. For fuck sakes, you are the new Heidi and Spencer of twitter. Two attention whoring retards that literally trigger my gag reflexes night after night. Trashing BL isn’t going to make anyone support your relationship with your irrelevant boyfriend and forget about BL SO SUCK A DICK and keep your fingers quiet.

Clearly Sophia relates BL to Chad/Sophia and for someone who prides herself on being SO intelligent - she’s really just being a dumb bitch. It’s okay to not support a love story between your character and another person. Sophia pretty much made this clear a long time ago, but she has continuously took a shit on BL over the years and all OTH fans know what I’m talking about. BITCH, do you not realize that the majority, if not all of your fans came from the BL relationship? NO ONE would like you if it wasn’t for this couple. And you wouldn’t have the little relevancy you have now. Try showing a little respect for the people that continue to support your characters past relationship… Because newsflash skank, no one even likes Brooke anymore because of how shitty she’s been written since season 5. Do you really think people like OTH more now than they did seasons 1-3? LOL. All you have left is the past.

SO YOU CAN RUN AND TELL THAT.

/end essy long rant about a fictional TV show. Wow now I feel even more pathetic than I normally do *kanye shrug*

She was soo rude i mean she doesn't realize how many BL fans are out there.Okay BL wasn't endgame but BJ is that doesn't give her the right to decide if a fictional character never loved Lucas i mean sorry that's exactly what it has been saying :unprofessional the fact that for her Lucas is the same thing with Chad .I am truly sorry for what happened with Chad and her but that doesn't mean she never loved him .From my point of view she can date whoever the hell she wants he can date a homeless , a drug addict ,a hippie,a murdered but she must not involve her personal life in the tv show .
I am not saying this just as a BL fan i think if Lucas would have leave Peyton for Lindsey ,and Peyton would've been with Jake and Hilarie would've said the same thing i am sure LP fans would've reacted the same way so cut the 'overreact' part cause no one overreacts.

Okay. You guys keep saying that Sophia can't separate her personal life from her fictional TV life. That she is taking out her aggression towards Chad on BL and Lucas. And that she is acting like Lucas was the same thing to Brooke, as Chad was to her. But, wasn't he kind of? Lucas hurt Brooke a lot, cheated on her, caused her never-ending insecurities, and brought out the worst in her. So I can understand why she would think of Lucas in the same way as Chad. The two situations aren't that much different. I don't think it's necessarily her confusing her fictional life with her personal life... I think the two just happen to be very similar. And that is why she feels the way she does about Lucas and BL, because she knows how much unhappier Lucas made her, than Julian does.

Not to mention that all of these comments were just her RESPONDING to the questions that the fans continued to ask her. It's not like she just randomly decides to post this anti-BL stuff all over her twitter, for the hell of it. She's simply responding to the fans. Fans shouldn't ask her those kinds of questions, if they aren't really willing to hear/respect her honest answers. Just my opinion...

This is how I see it, and I think it's a good way to sum up the whole unprofessional thing:

It is 100% an actor or actresses right to have their preference in their couples. I RESPECT that, as long as they are also respectful of their fans who continue to support them! Evangeline Lliy [Kate on Lost] is, to me at least, a pretty perfect example:

Evangeline made plenty of pro-Sawyer/Kate comments, but she was pretty obvious about the fact that she rooted for Jack/Kate even more. In all the questioning she got about the Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle, she ALWAYS kept her responses respectful & professional. She never made ANYONE, not Skate fans nor Jate fans, feel like shit for shipping one couple.

And if you want to say, "Well that is different. Evangeline didn't date/marry either of her male co-stars!" okay, I've got another for you.

Katie Holmes [Joey - Dawson's Creek] dated BOTH Joshua Jackson [Pacey] && James Van Der Beek [Dawson] while the show was being filmed, and even after her relationships ended with each of them, she remained professional and didn't bash the fans of either couple. [AND SHE WAS A BIT YOUNGER THAN SOPHIA FOR CHRISTS SAKE!]

^ I guess that's where we have a difference of opinion then. Because I don't consider anything that Sophia said as "bashing" BL, or the fans. I actually think she found a good balance in both being honest in her answers, yet still saying her honest opinion in a respectful way. She didn't say "BL suck! They are the worst couple ever, and if you ship them, you're an idiot!" lol... Now I would consider a response like THAT unprofessional, and offensive. But again, this is all just how I'm interpreting all this.

Well exactly this is the thing BL and Chopia situations are so similar but that's why she should separate them.

But if they are similar, then how can she separate them? That means that she has every reason to feel the same way about Lucas/BL that she does about Chad/CS. Since Lucas basically treated Brooke the same way that Chad treated her. So it's not that she's being biased towards BL, because of her past with Chad. It's just that she happens to feel the same way about both relationships, because they are basically the same. Make sense? lol

Kelly, I get where you're coming from but I'm sorry, she NEEDS to be able to separate Real Life from "Reel Life".

The only real common theme between Lucas/Chad is that they both cheated.

Chad humiliated her by fucking a skanky whore, and then getting engaged when they had barely separated.

Lucas made out with her best friend/snuck around behind her back. He never slept with Peyton while he was with Brooke though, and they certainly weren't married!

Sorry but either way you slice it, if BL fans are being told we should get over stuff, why is it that Sophia STILL can't separate her personal life from her professional life.

Oh, that's right, because she can't stop mixing the two! And that's simply NOT the fans faults.

I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding the accusation that she is mixing the two? That's the part that confuses me.

From what I've seen, everything that she has said about BL's relationship has pretty much been true... no matter what her personal life entails.

She said that "Brooke is much happier now". And I think that's proven, and backed up in the show. And she said that she "has always liked LP's relationship". That's her personal opinion, that she is entitled to. And she said that she herself thought of Brooke as a "footnote in LP's story". Again, her personal opinion that she is entitled to. So I personally am just not seeing how she is "mixing" her personal life, with her professional life. It all seems pretty black and white to me, and I don't see how her personal life plays any role in any of the things she has said.
Unless she made comments back when her and Chad were TOGETHER, that completely contradict these statements. Like a bunch of pro-BL, anti-LP statements while she was dating Chad. THEN I could understand how people are saying that she lets her personal relationships effect her professional opinion/attitude. Because then it would be evident that her opinion of BL only changed, because her and Chad broke up. But I'm not sure if she made those kind of hypocrite statements back then or not?

I'm trying to find some of the interviews she did back during S2, but it's proving hard =/ But Kelly, she DID make plenty of pro-BL comments! Girl talked about how much she loved being able to play boyfriend/girlfriend with her real life Fiancee!

But it's NOT just the stuff you're seeing Kelly. Not only did she delete some of her worse tweets, this isn't the first time she's been really rude to fans.

Back during the filming of 5x18 & that years Charity Event, she actually signed "Team Leyton" on a BL'ers shirt, and then said "There, now it's even."

I'm sorry but NOBODY, and I mean nobody here could tell me that if it were reversed, if an LP'er handed Hilarie a shirt that they had spent hours designing, and she signed "Team Brucas" & made some smartass remark about, "There, now it's even!" that LP'er would be [very rightfully] pissed off!

It's stuff like that which makes me angry & talk about complete lack of respect towards BL fans.

And that's not even the only thing! That same weekend, there was a lot of shit that happened. Fans that were there were posting nonstop about how rude and unprofessional she was behaving =/

Hmm. Yeah I definitely didn't know about all that stuff. I was just referring to what the pick asked about... her recent comments (that I was aware of) on twitter. But if Hilarie did something like that to me, my little LP heart would be crushed lol. No doubt about it

lol i love it, i can't find the interviews I'm looking for but I can find a fanforum post with a picture of the t-shirt:

Oh God, sry! But Sophia's private / love life and whatever the hell she just said is the last thing I would EVER worry or be upset about!

When a fan asked: "Dear Sophia! Did Brooke really loved Lucas? is he her biggest love? tks a lot"
Her response:
"Nope! BDavis is much happier now! I promise"

I don't care if she says Brooke is happier now... I care that she said Brooke never loved Lucas. Maybe she meant that "no he wasn't the biggest love of Brooke's life"... but that wasn't made clear and it sounded as if she said Brooke never loved Lucas. Which of course is untrue... that's not even a matter of opinion. She would be insulting the writers of the show by saying Brooke wasn't being sincere every single time she said "i love you" to Lucas.

And then when she said...
"I wasn’t a fan of BDavis being flip flopped like she didn’t matter. All girls deserve better... I think all of us girls deserve better than a guy who would cheat on us with our best friend (LP). That’s why I wanted better for BDavis."

Well, did she pay attention to the show after season 1? Cause I can understand someone saying this about season 1, but most people are Brucas fans because of seasons 2 and 3, so the cheating is pretty irrelevant. I think that's why people are stating that she can't separate reality from fiction... since Sophia's relationship with CMM ended after CMM cheated on her. But after Lucas cheated on Brooke, Brooke and Lucas actually rebuilt their relationship, rebuilt their love and trust, and started over... so talking about the season 1 cheating makes it seem like she forgot there were 5 other seasons with Brucas after that happened.

To be honest... it doesn't make much of a difference to me what she thinks. From what I know of her, I like Sophia- She seems funny, intelligent, beautiful, and talented. But I don't look to her as a role model, for guidance, or for confirmation that I like good couples. She's a complete stranger to me. I just think she made a few comments that she shouldn't have said. When you're in the public eye, you have to watch everything you say. It sucks because they are still human and make mistakes... but because of their jobs, they can't really afford to make mistakes without distancing fans and harming their careers.

People that are no fans of BL would never understand. Sophia totally trash us. She took like all our hopes & crumble them like a piece of fucking paper! I don't think is fair that people are telling us, BL fans, that we are overreacting! Imagine that Hilarie or Joy said something bad about your couple, that they crashed all that faith that you have in them. If Naley fans, Leyton fans, Brulian fans were in our place, you would be piss off too, people!

"Nope! BDavis is much happier now! I promise"


is ^^that all she said??? or was there more. damn i didnt know she wrote this.

Damn Holly lol. I never knew about the shirt incident. WOW.

I've given up on Sophia. Even seeing her interviews now she acts different. It's really irritating. I used to look up to her especially for her grace in handling the Chad situation and now... well I'm barely even a fan.

she has completely changed after she met austin.. or after they started going out again.

I knew about this but I never knew fans got so mad. I ship Brucas a lot but I'm not a crazy obsessive fan and I think Sophia got misunderstood: I get her "Nope" as a :"Brooke wasn't completely broken by Lucas, she's happy with Julia now". If she was denying that Brooke loved Lucas, she needs to rewatch the seasons and sincerely, I couldn't care less if she thought that, I KNOW what happened over the seasons.

About the rude thing, I read the full comment and she seemed irritated cause people questioned her INTEGRITY because someone said she wasn't a Brucas fan for the wrong reasons (blaming it on the Chad thing). Can you imagine after 8 years some people still think that your opinions are only coming from one thing that happened in your life? She got irritated and angry from that cause they questioned her professionality so I don't blame her for being angry cause I'd be too. I think she was a little condescending when she said she's the one who gave Brooke life and talks to the writers but she's generally really nice, I blame it on anger again.

Now, on her saying Brooke was a footnote on the Leyton story..I don't agree. I will never agree. Brucas was everything, truly. If Sophia doesn't see it, I couldn't care less. Yes, she portrayes Brooke but how could she not see the beautiful thing Brucas had? Oh well, I'm in love with Brucas and the show, not Sophia. I think she's generally a lovely person and she doesn't love Brucas because Brooke had been cheated on multiple times and Sophia doesn't like that and so she's Brulian. Who cares, it's like she's one of us commenting.

This doesn't change my opinion of her.
