Now allegations have come out about Mark Schwahn, the creator and showrunner for One Tree Hill:

This doesn't surprise me to be honest. I always found Mark Schwahn to be creepy and he seemed obsessed with Hilarie Burton.

Interesting.

Yes, I've always believed he adored Hilarie... maybe a little too much.

It's really revolting how wide-spread all this harassment is, and I really wonder, now that it's been exposed, if it will stop, or if it'll just be curtailed for a while until all the negative publicity fades away.

I feel like there are way too many people involved for this to ever go back to the silence of past. Too many people, directly harassed or not harassed but disgusted and wanting to be supportive, for it to go back to the way it once was. This is far too serious and I don't believe the communication or awareness is just going away.

I do believe at the very least, these people will think twice before attempting to mess with anyone ever again since they know that silence is not happening anymore. For those that would like to be creepy and disgusting for the first time... they will certainly hesitate since they know there's a good chance of being exposed too. There is already victory as a result.

Well now we know why she left. Ugh I am def dropping the royals now.

This is awful.

It seems they all knew, even the guys... Hilarie, Sophia and Joy all responded too like it was common knowledge. Incredible.

Ugh

Well this is like that Queen song "another one bites the dust"

jediwands

Yep.

Seems weird to bring this up since it shouldn't be the focus but we can all say with 100% certainty that a OTH reunion of any kind is never happening.

I am interested in what else the main actors will say. I hope they have the courage to tell all. They deserve to be heard.

Me too tbh, plus he was pretty obsessed with Shantel being in an bikini/her underwear in the seasons after Hilarie left. Plus I've heard rumours about Joy and Hil not being comfortable wearing on revealing clothing on the show because of him and that's why those characters didn't wear a lot of that stuff.

stlavin95

Yeah, seems like the norm for this situation but they were properly too scarred to do anything about it. Would be shocked if the other major players in the show didn't know.

jediwands

Wow. I live under a rock since I had never heard about any of this.

This is disgusting and so wrong. I don’t know if the “artist atmosphere” gives these pigs imcentive to act unprofessional/inappropriately or what but this is gross. No one should have been uncomfortable around him if he was a professional and decent human being. Apparently he was not professional and a terrible human being.

jediwands

Just horrible.

stlavin95

Yeah, I heard about it an few weeks but the reason I heard at that point was they didn't think it was part of their characters.

I had heard rumors, but I had no idea it was this bad. It also explains why hilarie refuses to be a reg on any show.
