Alex Hall from The OC has denied rumors of an affair with her costar Tyler Stanaland. However, she revealed that he acted as if he was single when they began filming season 1.
During an episode of the "Almost Adulting" podcast on Tuesday, May 28, Alex, 34, shared that Tyler told the cast that his wife, Brittany Snow, was considering divorce because he joined the show.
Alex wanted to make it clear that Tyler, who is 34 years old, did not cheat on Brittany, 38, while they were still married. According to Alex, Tyler behaved like a single man even though nothing was happening in season 1.
It was important for Alex to share her perspective after facing accusations of flirting with Tyler before his separation from Brittany.
"There were many unfortunate incidents that occurred during the filming of our show involving various women, including this man named Tyler," she remembered. "In Season 1, one of the girls in the office was attempting to seduce Tyler and kiss him."

The reality show Selling the OC first aired on Netflix in August 2022. Viewers quickly took notice of Tyler's flirtatious interactions with his colleagues, Alex and Kayla Cardona. Just a month after the show premiered, Tyler and the Pitch Perfect actress announced their split. Brittany officially filed for divorce in January 2023, and the former couple were able to come to a settlement later that same year.
Earlier this year, Brittany opened up about the reasons behind her divorce.
During an interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in March, she admitted, “I didn’t know a lot of things at the time.” She also hinted at Tyler's behavior on the show, saying, “So, I will say, what people think happened, happened.”
She continued to express her thoughts, saying that what happened in the past is true. There was a marriage filled with love. She mentioned that the media often portrays things in a more scandalous way, focusing on the negative actions of each person.
Alex responded to Brittany's comments on Tuesday, mentioning that he was bothered by how others interpreted her words and directed them towards him. He found it difficult to understand and process.

Alex wanted to clarify that despite being seen with Tyler after his breakup with Brittany, he didn't want viewers to mix up the timelines.
He expressed his confusion about Brittany Snow's accusations on the show without mentioning any names. Alex stated that it was strange how people automatically assumed it was him, as he believed that anyone watching the show could see the development of his and Tyler's relationship.
According to Alex, Tyler informed the Selling the OC cast at an early stage that he would soon be single.
Alex shared her opinion that there was no infidelity in Tyler's marriage. She believes that Tyler struggles with setting boundaries, speaking up for himself, and standing up for what he believes in. This often leads him to unintentionally act in ways that may come across as negative or cowardly.
After Brittany appeared on a podcast, Tyler decided to share his thoughts on their breakup.
In March, Tyler took to his Instagram Story to express his views. He mentioned that relationships can be complicated, especially when they are under public scrutiny. Tyler stated that he and Brittany had agreed not to discuss their marriage publicly, and he intends to respect that agreement.
Tyler expressed his well wishes for Brittany after their breakup. He clarified that he was never unfaithful during their marriage and denied the accusations of infidelity. Tyler mentioned that he will not be commenting further on the matter.
