E! suspends Royals showrunner Mark Schwahn over sexual harassment allegations
Recently, TV writer Audrey Wauchope shared some stories of sexual harassment she experienced and witnessed while working on One Tree Hill, accusing that show’s creator and showrunner Mark Schwahn of touching women without their permission, making inappropriate comments, and sharing a nude photo of a woman he was having an affair with without her permission. Schwahn is the creator and showrunner of E!’s The Royals these days, and The Hollywood Reporter says that he has now been suspended while E! and production company Lionsgate Television can investigate the allegations against him. In a statement, E! says that it takes “sexual harassment allegations very seriously,” and it will “take appropriate action” if necessary.
