Madelaine Petsch Denies Hooking Up With Riverdale Co-Stars After KJ Apa's Comments

The actress says she kept firm professional boundaries, citing early advice from Cole Sprouse not to date colleagues.

Overview

  • On the Sept. 17 Call Her Daddy episode, Petsch said she “did not touch a single person on that show,” rejecting stories about castmates sleeping together.
  • She reiterated that she does not “mix business and pleasure” and has “never hooked up with a costar.”
  • Petsch recounted Sprouse telling her during the pilot not to pursue coworkers, which she called the best advice she received.
  • Apa told Entertainment Weekly that young casts often “hook up,” claimed he lost his virginity during Riverdale’s run, and did not name partners or address Petsch’s denial.
  • Public relationships among other cast members, including Lili Reinhart with Sprouse and Camila Mendes with Charles Melton, frame the interest in the claims, but current coverage reports no allegations of misconduct.
