It's no wonder that the most successful teen shows are so important to their core audience. They're tied to a formative, complicated time in their viewers' live and are often looked back on with a lot of fond nostalgia. Unfortunately, when it comes to the 2000s drama One Tree Hill, there's also now a shadow hanging over it. 2017年，种类published an open letter signed by 18 women cast and crew members alleging that One Tree Hill's creator Mark Schwahn engaged in a pattern of sexually harassing and threatening his colleagues and that it was an "open secret" on the set. In a recent podcast interview, actors Sophia Bush和Craig Shefferopened up further about Schwahn's alleged behavior, with Bush stating, per 种类, that the showrunner was "controlling and gross and misogynistic and creepy." Read on to find out what else the former co-stars revealed.

One Tree Hillran for nine seasons, from 2003 to 2012. And while the open letter about Schwahn (pictured above center) claims that his alleged misconduct was common knowledge on the set, his women colleagues didn't come forward until a few years after the series finale. The cast and crew who signed the letter were motivated to speak out in support and solidarity after one of the show's writers, Audrey Wauchope, made harassment accusations against Schwahn (though, without naming him) on her personal Twitter account.

The letter claims that women working on the show were "manipulated psychologically and emotionally" by Schwahn, "were put in positions where [they] felt physically unsafe," and were discouraged from coming forward because it "would result in our show being canceled and hundreds of lovely, qualified, hard-working, and talented people losing their jobs."

Some detailed the harassment and misconduct they experienced to 种类, including stars Hilarie Burton, who claimed that Schwahn assaulted her on several occasions, and Danneel Ackles, who recounted instances in which Schwahn came uninvited to her hotel room and her home and demanded to see her. Male and female writers reported Schwahn making inappropriate, demeaning jokes, as well as sexual advances, in the writers room.

At the time that the accusations because public, Schwahn was working on another show he created, The Royals, an E! drama revolving around a fictional royal family. A few days after the open letter was published, the companies behind the show issued a statement that Schwahn had been suspended to allow for an investigation. About a month later, Lionsgate circulated another statement announcing, "We have concluded our investigation and Mark will not be returning to The Royals。“AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB.

Amid the suspension, 皇家皇室演员Alexandra Parkresponded on social media. "I am devastated to admit to myself, to my colleagues, and to this industry that I too, have been exposed to this reprehensible behavior," she tweeted, as reported by 种类。 Another open letter, this time from the women working on Schwahn's new show, quickly followed. It read, in part, "It became all too apparent reading [theOne Tree Hillcast and crew's] statement earlier this week that the betrayal and anger so many of us had experienced during our time on The Royals is not exclusively ours. And we were angry then, and we are angry now."

Schwahn declined to comment on any of the accusations or his firing at the time, and he hasn't worked on any shows or movies since The Royals。

Still, it appears that there's more to talk about. Another conversation about Schwahn ensued when Craig Sheffer, who played Uncle Keith, was on the April 4 episode of the Drama Queenspodcast, hosted by One Tree Hillco-stars Burton, Bush, and Bethany Joy Lenz。 Scheffer's character was shockingly killed off early on in the series, and the actor claimed that Schwahn blindsided him with that news after ensuring him that his position was safe.

"I go, 'OK, so I'm dead? Does that mean I don't get paid anymore?'" Scheffer said, recalling a phone call he received from the showrunner. "He was like, 'Yeah.' I was like, 'Dude, you told me.' Not only was it cheesy, but the way it was handled. You don't call me and talk to me about it?"

Scheffer还说他觉得Schwahn培养了他的个人需求，就像需要时间看他的女儿一样，和他的外表，因为对他来说，“这是如此的控制。”

“”我们希望你的头发梳理，我们希望你剃光，我们想要这个。它到了他们称之为代理人的观点，“如果这种权力斗争要继续，我们只是为了摆脱他，”“演员解释说。 “那种东西，他们打破了你的灵魂。”
