Mischa Barton dismisses The Beautiful Life snub rumours

London (ANI): Mischa Barton has rubbished rumours of being axed from The Beautiful Life. The gossip started after the actress did not appear in the first promotional photos for the new series. Barton's brush at the psychiatric centre last month also added to the rumours that she was thrown out Ashton Kutcher's show.

However, Barton has laughed off all such reports. The Daily Express quoted her spokesperson saying: "She didn't participate in that shoot. It didn't work out timing-wise for her. (The photo shoot took place) a while ago when she was in London."

A spokesperson for the CW network also came out in support of the star and said: "This is just one element of the network's marketing campaign, and not every cast member is in each piece of creative."
