Mischa Barton wants O.C exit?

Apr 7, 2006, 16:19 GMT

'The O.C' beauty Mischa Barton is allegedly trying to get fired from the hit show by pulling a host of sickies.

The 20-year-old star has allegedly been worried about the show's spiralling ratings and is concerned about being typecast as a teen brat.

According to reports, Mischa has been frequently calling in sick or arriving late to the set much to the displeasure of her bosses.

A source told America's New York Post newspaper: 'She's definitely flirting with leaving the show. But the real problem now is that she isn't taking her work seriously.'

The brunette's actions are said to be angering the rest of the cast and crew who are all sick of her poor attitude, tardiness and lack of commitment.

Barton has played pampered princess Marissa Cooper on the popular programme since it first aired in 2003.

In recent months, 'The O.C.', which also stars Benjamin McKenzie, Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, has seen its ratings drop from nearly 10 million viewers its first season to around 5.4 million.

Warner Bros., who produce the series, have so far refused to comment on the reports.

A spokesman for the company said: 'We don't comment on rumour or speculation.'
