The actress, popularized by her role in The Scott Brothers, has indeed taken up the pen to speak her truth and come out. “I think the word that defines me the most is queer,” she writes. “I can’t stop smiling when I say it.

“I can finally breathe” writes Hilarie Burton’s best friend. “I feel like I’ve been carrying a weight on my shoulders for I don’t know how long. I didn’t realize how heavy it was until I finally took it off. That might sound crazy – but I think other people recovering from trauma will understand me – but I can finally take deep breaths of air (…) It makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.” Aware that, even in 2024, this type of speech remains complicated, Sophia Bush also writes: “More than 500 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills have been proposed in legislative assemblies [aux États-Unis] in 2023, which is why I want to give the act of coming out the respect and honor it deserves.”

Some said I left my ex because I suddenly realized I wanted to be with women – my partners have always known what I am, as long as me.” And confiding that she and Ashlyn Harris had “painful conversations” in order to respect everyone’s feelings. Sophia Bush also takes the opportunity to defend her sweetheart, who has two children with his ex-wife Ali Krieger. “The way she prioritizes and places her children at the center, not only in her life but in the depths of her being, is breathtaking.
