Sophia Bush & Hilarie Burton React to 'One Tree Hill' Creator Getting Fired from 'The Royals'
Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton have both spoken out after Mark Schawhn, the creator of their series One Tree Hill, was fired from his current show The Royals amid mounting allegations of sexual harassment.
The actresses are among the many women who have spoken out against the television producer in recent months.
“43 women came forward. To the ones who did and to the ones who didn’t or couldn’t, I hope this news is a salve to your souls,” Sophia tweeted with a link to the news. “To the other predators out there? I hope this is a lesson that sometimes, even if it takes time, justice is served. You’re next.”
Hilarie wrote a series of tweets about it, which you can read below.

1. The reason we cannot condone "degrees of harassment" is because one day you get your butt or boob grabbed at work. And you laugh it off. You become conditioned. "She's such a good sport" they say. And then? You meet a Schwahn. A Weinstein. https://t.co/axfafD7okg

2. I had no idea how bad OTH really was until I was taken in by the amazing cast and crew of @WhiteCollarUSA. Thank you to them for showing me how it's SUPPOSED to be. Thank you to the directors who called even though I wouldn't audition. Thank you to @GreysABC and @ForeverABC

And most recently @LethalWeaponFOX. You have treated me with such respect and kindness. And my ability to speak up now, all these years later, is because I have seen what filmmaking should be. You can be talented AND kind.
And thank you to my OTH sisters.— Hilarie Burton (@HilarieBurton) December 22, 2017
4. You women are amazing. When I left all those years ago, I could have never anticipated how strong this bond would remain.
It's a good day, gals. Your art matters. It's what got me here. Xoxoxo— Hilarie Burton (@HilarieBurton) December 22, 2017
