Sophia Bush will always remember this scary and gross incident with a fan.
During an look on the Podcrushed podcast on Wednesday, the 40-year-old actress seemed again at one of many worst encounters she’s ever had with a fan throughout her profession. She recalled going out together with her pals at a bar on St. Patrick’s Day to seize a beer sooner or later when a random man sat down subsequent to them and tried to take an image. And within the strategy of taking it, Sophia mentioned he almost hit her within the face with the cellphone. OMG?!
Immediately, she requested him to cease and go away her alone. But as a substitute of respecting her request, he returned to his seat and continued videotaping her from his desk. After half an hour of him recording her, Sophia instructed host Penn Badgley that she went over and confronted him:
“Like, I’m not a zoo animal. I see you, I hear you, is my thought process. And he keeps going and he is getting rowdy. And I can hear him swearing. I finally go over and I say, ‘Hi, I’m a person. I’d like to shake your hand. My name is Sophia. You’re making me really uncomfortable, man. I’ve asked you to stop. I’m a girl in a bar. You are a man I do not know. I don’t wanna be videoed on your phone. And my friends don’t either. Can you please stop?’”

However, that didn’t occur. The One Tree Hill alum remembered the person turned very indignant at her for coming as much as him:
“And he was like, ‘I don’t have to stop. You’re in public.’ And I said, ‘Okay, but is there no world in which you can understand that you are making me feel, you’re making me feel like a piece of meat, like I’m not human?’ And he goes, ‘I watch your show, so I pay your f**king salary. You are a piece of meat to me.’ And I just went, ‘What?’”
There is a strategy to strategy a celeb as a fan with out treating them like an object or commodity, and this man went about it in a very disrespectful and disgusting manner. Who says one thing like that?! She can be allowed to get pleasure from her outing with out having somebody shoving a cellphone immediately into her face (particularly when she already requested him to cease) or making her really feel very uncomfortable.
Sophia mentioned a lady at his desk then stepped in and tried to finish the confrontation. But the man continued to take issues manner too far:
“A girl at his table went, ‘Okay, okay enough. You really have to stop.’ And I said, ‘Do you understand the way you’re talking to me?’ And he goes, ‘You’re just a TV prostitute.’”
What the precise f**ok. When issues escalated right into a bodily altercation, Sophia ended up going dwelling. So, so terrible. With this expertise in thoughts, the John Tucker Must Die star later famous that she doesn’t care if individuals understand her as being “nice,” and she or he would moderately they suppose she’s simply “real,” explaining:
“I just don’t know what we’re doing here if we’re not figuring out how to be here together in a better way. So I’d much rather people say, ‘god, she has a lot to say,’ or ‘she is a pain in the ass,’ than she seems nice. I don’t wanna be nice. I wanna be here with you, with us, for real, because we don’t get to be here for that long in the grand scheme of things.”
What a horrible scenario Sophia needed to take care of. A word for followers in all places: Do not do that or say issues like this to an individual — irrespective of who they’re! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback under.
