    Madelaine Petsch has denied having sex with any of her Riverdale co-stars

    After her co-star on the CW teen drama, KJ Apa, claimed in a recent interview that the stars of the show were "hooking up" with one another, Madelaine has denied bedding any of her co-stars, insisting "i did not touch a single person on that show with a 10-foot pole"


    KJ, 28, had told Entertainment Weekly last month: "I was a virgin when I started on that show, too, for the first couple years.

    "I was a proud Christian boy. I was."

    Without naming news, he then alleged of his castmates: "You hook up with them, people hook up with each other."

    However, Madelaine, 31, has "set the record straight" and insisted she never mixes "business with pleasure".

    Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday (17.09.25), she said: "May I set the record straight about Riverdale, actually?

    "Recently, an article came out saying that we all f***** each other on the show. I did not touch a single person on that show with a 10-foot pole."

    She reiterated: "May I repeat that one more time? I did not f*** a single person on Riverdale. I never touched them. That's what happened. Thank you for coming to my TED talk."

    Madelaine added: "I don't claim that s*** at all. I don't mix business and pleasure like that. I've never hooked up with a co-star."

    Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart from the show previously dated for several years.

    The series - which ran between 2017 and 2023 - also starred the likes of Camila Mendes, Casey Cott and Charles Melton.

    AJ also told the outlet: "There's a lot of drama that comes on shows like that. Not to say in like a gossipy kind of way, but it's just part of the environment, I guess - part of the deal."
