Days after being accused of sexual harassment by female One Tree Hill cast and crew members, female cast and crew members of E!’s The Royals have released their own statement accusing Schwahn of “repeated unwanted sexual harassment of multiple female members of cast and crew.” Their statement begins, “upon reading a statement from the ladies of One Tree Hill, a statement from their Royal sisters could not possibly go unwritten. Despite hearing rumours about his behaviour on One Tree Hill, those of us involved from the early stages went into the filming of the pilot hoping they were just that – rumours. By the time we wrapped this had irrevocably proven not to be the case. It became all too apparent reading their 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.” ALSO: Royals star Elizabeth Hurley issues statement saying she “had absolutely no idea” and “never witnessed” harassment.
