Why Jana Kramer and James Lafferty weren’t close on One Tree Hill

Jana Kramer and James Lafferty were not best friends on the set of One Tree Hill, but it was not necessarily by choice.

The actress, who played Alex Dupré, is opening up about the series’ backstage drama and revealing how one person on the set “made hell” for the cast.

Kramer talked about the cliques on set during the January 31 episode of his podcast, Whine Down with Jana Kramer and Michael Caussin, which featured Lafferty and others One Tree Hill Co-star Stephen Colletti.

She explained that she was “definitely closer” to Stephen (aka Chase Adams), because they had several scenes together. She had “very few” scenes with Lafferty (aka Nathan Scott), but implied that that was not the only reason she was not so close to the actor during the shoot.

“When I was on the show … there were only a few, not mean, but just, ‘You can’t talk to that person if you’re friends with them,'” she said. “So, I wasn’t very close to James because of certain situations on the set at the time.”
