Brittany Snow is opening up about how her ex-husband Tyler Stanaland’s Selling the OC costars affected her after their divorce.

While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the Pitch Perfect star, 38, addressed how she feels about the stars of the Netflix docusoap, some of whom her ex was romantically involved with following their 2023 divorce.

“They took up a lot of energy and emotion and time and real estate in my head,” the actress admits of the Orange County-based Oppenheim Group real estate agents the show follows. “I don’t wanna give them any more time and energy because then they would win and get what they wanted — which was getting my time and energy and attention.”

She adds, “I was not aware of a lot of things,” seemingly referring to some of the close relationships Stanaland, 34, developed with his castmates on the show. 

Stanaland and his costar Kayla Cardona made headlines in Aug. 2022 after it came out on the show that she had tried to kiss him twice while he was still married to Snow.

His close friendship with castmate Alex Hall was also documented on the show and had fans buzzing about a rumored romance happening between the two. The pair ended up sharing a kiss during a work trip in Mexico at the end of season 2 in Sept. 2023, a year after Stanaland and Snow announced their separation.

Just two years after tying the knot in March 2020, the actress and the real estate agent revealed they had made the “difficult decision” to separate by sharing identical statements on Instagram in Sept. 2022. 

“After time and consideration, Tyler and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” wrote Snow in her post. “This decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another. We have realized we need to take some time and make sure we are each living our most fulfilling and authentic lives.”

“We started this journey as best friends and our relationship will continue to be a priority not only for us but for our dog Charlie,” she added. “We sincerely appreciate your support and ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter.”

During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in February, the X actress reflected on the past year and how she has been feeling post-divorce. 

“It’s been really challenging,” she told PEOPLE, adding that it’s also “been really great.”
