The former cast members and crew of the popular drama series “One Tree Hill” have united to support their ex-colleague, Audrey Wauchope, by accusing the show’s former showrunner, Mark Schwahn, of s**ual harassment.

This group, which includes well-known figures like Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton, and Bethany Joy Lenz, collectively voiced their solidarity with Wauchope and each other in response to Wauchope’s recent Twitter revelations about Schwahn’s alleged misconduct.

In a joint letter released on Monday, 18 women who worked on the show disclosed instances of psychological manipulation, emotional distress, and even physical threats they faced while working under Schwahn’s leadership.

Wauchope, a former writer for the series, disclosed disturbing encounters with Schwahn, detailing incidents of unwelcome physical contact, inappropriate sharing of explicit materials, and unprofessional attempts to interfere in personal matters.

These revelations shed light on a toxic work environment that existed during the filming of “One Tree Hill,” a teen drama that aired from 2003 to 2012.

The accusations against Schwahn have sparked outrage and concern within the entertainment industry, prompting E!, Universal Cable Productions, and Lionsgate Television — the entities associated with Schwahn’s current project, “The Royals” — to issue a statement emphasizing their commitment to ensuring a safe and respectful workplace for all involved.

In an open letter addressed to the public, the female cast members of “One Tree Hill” condemned Schwahn’s behavior as an “open secret” that had long-lasting effects on their mental well-being and careers.

They emphasized the importance of supporting one another and creating safe spaces to address issues of harassment and abuse in the workplace.

Despite facing threats of professional repercussions and being cautioned against speaking out, the women of “One Tree Hill” have chosen to break their silence in solidarity with the broader movement advocating for change and empowerment of women in all industries.

Their message resonates with the ongoing call to “Believe Women” and stand together against systemic injustices.

The collective bravery and resilience displayed by these women, along with the supportive gestures from male colleagues, exemplify a growing shift towards accountability and inclusivity in the entertainment sector.

By sharing their stories and amplifying voices that have long been silenced, the cast and crew of “One Tree Hill” are paving the way for a more equitable and safer work environment for all individuals.

With unwavering courage and mutual respect, the women of “One Tree Hill” are standing up against harassment and discrimination, urging for a future where every voice is heard and every individual is valued.

Their actions serve as a beacon of hope and empowerment for those who continue to fight for justice and equality in the industry.
