Mischa Barton spotted after reportedly being fired from The Hills

Mischa Barton has been spotted drinking wine outside her house, after reportedly being fired from her MTV reality show.

The O.C. alum Mischa Barton looked nearly unrecognisable while hanging out makeup-free in Los Angeles on Sunday after reportedly getting fired from MTV’s The Hills: New Beginnings.

The 34-year-old actress was a main cast member on the revived reality show for just one season.

Mischa was spotted enjoying one of the final days of summer sitting outside on the steps near her Los Angeles home, soaking up the sunshine.

She sipped from what appeared to be a glass of white wine as she took turns sitting on the stoop and walking around her area.

The former Fox star, who skyrocketed to teen stardom playing privileged girl-next-door Marissa Cooper in The O.C. in the early 2000s, looked completely different from her teen drama days.

In another set of photos from outside her home, Mischa appeared to drink from a plastic cup of white wine while clad in a sweater and a pair of tracksuit pants.

After playing the scripted role of someone living and loving in California for a few years, Mischa joined the cast of MTV’s Los Angeles-set reality show, The Hills: New Beginnings, last year.

The first season of the revival series aired from June to September 2019, with the actress as a main cast member, and it was renewed for a second season shortly after it premiered.

A few stars from the original version, including Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Heidi Pratt, Audrina Patridge and Brody Jenner, were also part of the cast and are expect to return for season two.

However, according to Page Six, neither Stephanie nor Mischa will be returning, with sources telling TMZ that Mischa wasn’t asked back because she was too “bland” and “boring”.

While speaking about the report that she’s been fired from the show, Mischa simply later told ET: ”Yeah, let’s see when they can get production back up and going and see what happens with that and who’s gonna be on it.”

A source exclusively told The Sun last week that season 2 of The Hills is expected to start filming again next month.

Mischa first found fame on The OC in the early noughties.
