Nina Dobrev is calling out The Vampire Diaries for ruining her relationship!
As you may recall, Nina left the hallways of Degrassi: The Next Generation in 2009 to pursue a role on a little show called The Vampire Diaries.

Or maybe it was plain-old jealousy! After “chemistry reads” with over a dozen guys, showrunners saw how steamy things were with Ian Somerhalder, and he scored the gig. Then he scored Nina! The two dated for THREE YEARS!
