MUMBAI: Actress Mischa Barton claims she faced bullying on the set of the popular show "The O.C".

"It's a bit complicated. It started pretty early on because it had a lot to do with them adding Rachel (Bilson) in last minute as, after the first season, a series regular and evening out everybody's pay -- and sort of general bullying from some of the men on set," Barton said, according to a report in femalefirst.co.uk.
