'One Tree Hill' cast, crew accuse showrunner Mark Schwahn of sexual harrasment

The CW's "One Tree Hill" may have long aired its last episode, but the crew and cast of the series have yet to forget and forgive showrunner Mark Schwahn's inappropriate deeds.

"One Tree Hill" writer Audrey Wauchope on Saturday tweeted that she and her writer partner were sexually assaulted by the director. She then narrated that they were given inappropriate comments as well as touched inappropriately during the time. Wauchope also revealed that the exec was showing naked photos of her then-girlfriend to the crew without her consent.

"Sometimes we wouldn't luck out and he'd just squeeze his disgusting body in between us and put his arms around us, grinning. He pet hair. He massaged shoulders. I know he did more but not to me so they're not my stories to share," Wauchope wrote.

Furthermore, "One Tree Hill" actresses Sophia Bush (Brooke Davis), Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer), Bethany Joy Lenz (Haley James), and the crew of the show, in a joint statement, echoed what Wauchope claimed. The statement revealed that some of them had been attending therapies because of post-traumatic stress.

"Many of us were put in uncomfortable positions and had to swiftly learn to fight back, sometimes physically, because it was made clear to us that the supervisors in the room were not the protectors they were supposed to be," the statement read.

The statement was also uploaded to the actresses' social media accounts, earning shock and support from fellow actors from the now-defunct show. Austin Nichols, who played Julian Baker, encouraged and hoped for a change. James Lafferty, who played Nathan Scott opposite Lenz's character, lauded his co-stars in "One Tree Hill" and other women who had spoken out against abusers.

I stand with all my OTH sisters. We have to change. We have to be better. All of us. This is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, E!, which airs "The Royals," Schwahn's current project, said that it was "monitoring the information carefully."
