O criador das séries One Tree Hill e The Royals Mark Schwahn foi acusado pela roteirista de One Three Hill, Audrey Wauchope, de abuso sexual durante o tempo em que ela e a co-redatora Rachel Specter trabalharam na série da CW.
Wauchope utilizou sua conta pessoal do Twitter para dar suporte às acusações de abuso sexual feitas contra Andrew Kreisberg, showrunner de Supergil e The Flash.
Sem identificá-lo claramente, a roteirista diz que ela e sua amiga Specter foram sujeitas a toques indesejados, abusos e sugestões sexuais em um ambiente de trabalho hostil onde “homens da produção mostravam fotos de uma atriz que estava tendo um romance com ele. Fotos que ela não sabia que estavam sendo compartilhadas, fotos dela nua que nós não queríamos ver”.
Por conta de não ter citado o noma da série ou de Schwahn em seus tuítes, ela deixou estritamente claro que foram produções antigas das quais fizeram parte da equipe. Atualmente ela e Rachel são roteiristas de MY Crazy Ex-Girlfriend e Cougartown, séries das quais ela afirmou que os homens são mais “tranquilos”.

In light of the Andrew Kreisberg reporting, a couple thoughts about my first writing job that I’ve wanted to say for years but have never had the guts to. When I was 29 my writing partner @RachelSpecter and I were hired as staff writers.

To say we were excited was an understatement. To say we left that job demoralized and confused is also an understatement. One of the 1st things we were told was that the showrunner hired female writers on the basis of their looks. That’s why you’re here – he wants to fuck you.

Rachel had been actress previous to writing and was told that he used to talk about her in the room before we were hired. So that’s a safe room to enter as staff writers. Imagine what that does to ones psyche.

Imagine feeling for the rest of your career that you’re possibly an imposter – that maybe just maybe you’re only here because you’re a body, not a mind. It creeps into your thoughts and keeps you up at night and makes you wonder.

Moving on. The staff sat on couches. Female writers would try to get the spot where the showrunner wouldn’t sit as to not be touched. Often men would help out by sitting next to him, thus protecting the women.

I’m furious and sad and everything else for the women who have sat on that couch next to that man. And I’m furious and sad and everything else that years later I don’t feel safe to be able to do anything real about this and that it seems to be happening all over this town.

I write all this to say that there are trickle down psychological effects to all this bullshit and the town is littered with the collateral damage of abusers who have been given free reign. If you’re sitting on one of these staffs please know whatever you are feeling is real.
