Riverdale’s Madelaine Petsch Sets Record Straight on Sex With Costars

Madelaine Petsch wants to talk about sex.

She’s responding to recent comments made by her former *Riverdale* co-star, KJ Apa, about actors hooking up, and wants to make it clear that she did not have any romantic relationships with her co-stars.

Madelaine Petsch wants to clarify what happened on the set of *Riverdale*. Speaking on the September 17th episode of the *Call Her Daddy* podcast with Alex Cooper, she addressed a recent article claiming cast members had romantic relationships with each other. Petsch stated firmly that she was not involved with anyone on the show.

Madelaine Petsch, known for her role as Cheryl Blossom on the CW’s *Riverdale* (which ran for seven seasons from 2017 to 2023), recently clarified a point: “Let me say this again: I did not have any intimate relationships with anyone on the set of *Riverdale*. I never touched anyone. That’s all.” She jokingly compared the statement to a TED Talk.

Madelaine Petsch, who was 22 years old when *Riverdale* first aired, shared that she never dated anyone she worked with on the show. “I prefer to keep my work and personal life separate,” she explained, “and I’ve never had a romantic relationship with a co-star.”

Madelaine Petsch, known for her role as Cheryl Blossom on the CW show *Riverdale* (2017-2023), firmly stated, “Let me say this again: I did not have intimate relations with anyone on the set of *Riverdale*. I maintained professional boundaries with everyone. That’s the truth.” She jokingly concluded by comparing her statement to a TED Talk.

As a longtime fan, I remember when Madelaine Petsch first started on *Riverdale* – she was so young, only 22! She’s always been really open about her life, and she recently shared that she never dated anyone she worked with on the show. She’s said straight up that she prefers to keep her work and personal life separate, and that she’s never had a fling with a costar. It’s cool to see her be so honest about that!

Cole Sprouse, a former co-star, had actually given Madelaine Petsch advice before she started filming *Riverdale*: he told her not to get romantically involved with anyone on set.

During the filming of the pilot episode, Cole gave me some advice: ‘Whatever you do, don’t date any of your coworkers,’ he said. I immediately agreed and told him, ‘Okay, I understand. I won’t.’

Cole Sprouse dated his *Riverdale* costar, Lili Reinhart, from 2017 to 2020. They weren’t the only cast members to find romance on set-Camila Mendes and Charles Melton also had an on-again, off-again relationship for about three years during the show’s run.

Madelaine Petsch spoke up after KJ Apa-known for his role as Archie Andrews on *Riverdale*-shared his experiences with the strong bonds that form between actors on teen television series.

The actor, 28, explained to Entertainment Weekly that casual relationships happen – people connect, have sex, and then complications often arise, according to an August interview.

The actor, who was 19 years old when *Riverdale* first aired, explained that things soon became difficult, leading to conflicts while filming.

Madelyn Cline, who acted alongside Apa in *The Map That Leads to You*, wondered if the experience was similar in Vancouver, where *Riverdale* was filmed.

Apa described the dynamic as simply having sex and then seeing where things go, framing it as an expected part of the arrangement.

He added, “I was a virgin when I started on that show, too, for the first couple years.”

In June 2024, football player Jason Kelce responded to a fan’s comment on social media, jokingly asking, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet…?” The fan had observed that Kelce appeared to not wash his legs or feet.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

During a recent episode of the *New Heights* podcast he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, he jokingly asked, “What kind of person washes someone else’s feet?” He then added that he’d only wash feet if they were visibly dirty and needed scrubbing.

More than ten years after actor Kristen Stewart shared a story about witnessing a clown’s death in a car accident at the circus when he was a child, he recently confessed that the story was fabricated.

Robert remembered telling *The New York Times Style Magazine* in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise. He said he immediately asked, ‘What on earth is going on? Are you possessed?’

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He explained that one of the clowns had died in an accident. Their small car exploded, and it was a genuinely frightening experience for everyone there. People immediately ran to safety.

Grandma knows best.

In an October 2022 episode of *The Kardashians*, Kim Kardashian shared a personal story about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, unexpectedly played a role in a private moment with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

I was telling MJ, my mom Kris, and Khloe about last weekend at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Pete and I were just relaxing, chatting for ages in front of the fireplace, and it reminded me of something my grandma used to say. She always believed the best way to truly enjoy life was to, well, be intimate in front of a fireplace! So, we decided to honor that advice and had a moment together right there. It felt special, connecting to that family tradition.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to think about her grandmother before being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, acknowledging she hadn’t always been as mature.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very close family-including their children, 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri-and their love for each other is incredibly strong and open.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She told TopMob News in September 2022 that this even extends to the bathroom. She explained it’s become normal for her family and children to openly discuss and accept natural bodily functions.

Mila explained she finally gave in after her family repeatedly asked to come inside. She said she just decided to leave the door open rather than continue saying no.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d be comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of *The View*, while discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by “sexual ghosts,” Sara Haines posed a surprising question to the panel: “Is it possible to get pregnant from a ghost?”

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, had a playful response, joking, “I’ve had encounters with a few ghosts and never gotten pregnant.”

“I’m going to leave that statement as is,” Whoopi Goldberg responded. “I’m not sure everyone heard what Joy said, but I’m choosing not to comment further on it.”

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are very close friends, but Hoda recently learned something surprising about her “Today” co-host. While preparing for an episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Hoda found out that Jenna always goes without underwear.

Hoda Kotb recounted a funny moment from a November 2022 episode of *Today with Hoda and Jenna*. She explained that they both needed to quickly change outfits and had to return to the dressing room. While there, Hoda realized Jenna Bush Hager doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the outfit created a more flattering shape and was also easier to pack. She felt there were many benefits to choosing it.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing” – and confessed she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

I just had to share this hilarious video I found from March! It’s of Pete – you remember, when he was dating Kim – and Scott, Kourtney’s ex. They were having a ‘boyz night’ and honestly, they had me in stitches! It was so funny, I needed to repost it for everyone to see.

Britney explained she was resharing the video, saying she didn’t know the people in it, but it had made her laugh a lot.

Before Chris Evans became famous as Captain America and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer dated him and thought he was a really cute heartthrob.

I was so surprised to hear the singer talk about this on her *Whine Down with Jana Kramer* podcast last November! She said it happened over a decade ago, and while she doesn’t remember exactly how many times they went out, she definitely remembers what happened on their last date.

Jana, who was around 26 at the time, said Chris asked her to come over when he had some friends visiting from Boston.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her boyfriend going to the bathroom shortly after she’d eaten asparagus, which sometimes changes the smell of urine. They didn’t spend the night together; he stayed up late with friends, and the next morning, she left his house feeling embarrassed – what she called the ‘asparagus walk of shame’.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

In December, television writer Elisabeth Finch confessed that she had fabricated a story about having a rare bone cancer. She originally shared this false diagnosis with *ELLE* magazine eight years prior, and it even became the basis for a plotline on *Grey’s Anatomy*.

Elisabeth recently confessed to telling a lie at age 34, calling it the biggest regret of her life. She explained to *The Ankler* newsletter that the falsehood grew over time and became increasingly difficult to reveal. She also clarified that she has never been diagnosed with cancer.

Finch, who was temporarily removed from his role on the ABC medical show before ultimately quitting, admitted, “I messed up badly. It was completely unacceptable, and I take full responsibility.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told *The New York Times* she’d try almost anything to look younger.

She admitted in June that she’d even consider something extreme – like eating something disgusting daily – if it meant she’d look younger. She emphasized she was serious, saying, ‘I just might.’

In a July 2022 interview with *Allure* magazine, Kim explained she was mostly kidding when she made the comment, but admitted it wasn’t a completely awful idea.

Kim thought for a moment and then said, ‘Honestly, I’d probably eat something awful if someone promised it would make me look younger – even if it meant eating a bowl of poop every day.’

She wondered how much she could possibly eat. “Perhaps just a small bite,” she said. “I definitely couldn’t manage a full bowl.”

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on *The Jennifer Hudson Show*, the singer of “Save Me” shared a particularly embarrassing story, and he didn’t hesitate to tell all the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord) didn’t intend to cause such serious harm.

He firmly believed it was just a harmless prank. “I sincerely apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience turn from supportive to completely against me.”
