Former One Tree Hill star Hilarie Burton is sounding off on the Hallmark Chanel controversy. This weekend, as Hallmark came under fire for removing commercials featuring a same-sex wedding (the ads have since been reinstated), the actress expressed similar concerns about the network’s indifference towards “inclusivity.” In a Twitter thread, Burton revealed that she recently left a Hallmark Channel film after her requests for “a LGBTQ character, an interracial couple, and diverse casting” were ignored by executives. “I’d walk away again in a heartbeat,” she wrote. “The bigotry comes from the top and permeates the whole deal over there.” Decider has reached out to Hallmark Channel for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.

Burton is best known for her role as Peyton Sawyer on One Tree Hill, but in the years since the series ended, she has starred in a variety of TV movies, including Hallmark’s Summer Villa (2016) and Naughty or Nice (2012). On Sunday, Burton revealed that she planned to do another Hallmark project this year, but was “‘let go’ from [it] back in January.”

“I had insisted on a LGBTQ character, an interracial couple and diverse casting. I was polite, direct and professional,” wrote the actress. “But after the execs gave their notes on the script and NONE of my requests were honored, I was told ‘take it or leave it.'” Burton said that she ultimately left the film “and the paycheck,” but it was especially “shitty being penalized for standing up for inclusivity.”

But personal consequences aside, Burton said that she would “walk away again in a heartbeat.” She added, “The bigotry comes from the top and permeates the whole deal over there.” Plus, the ordeal ultimately led her back to Lifetime, which offered her a role in A Christmas Wish (the film premiered on November 28). “I’ve been loudly cheering for Lifetime all year because they heard my concerns + RALLIED! You want inclusive Christmas magic?! We got it. Love is love,” wrote Burton.
