Wandering hands, photos of actresses in lingerie, inappropriate remarks: Mark Schwahn in the viewfinder
While he has been accused of sexual assault on several occasions since 2017, Mark Schwahn also had more than sinister behavior with one of the star actresses of his own show. “He wasn’t embarrassed about having wandering hands, making inappropriate comments or pulling people aside for a little chat.” thus explained Sophia Bush to our colleagues from Télé Loisirs. “There were scenes written just for us in which we were in intimate situations with our partners. Others in which we were in small outfits. We found out through a screenwriter that he kept pictures of us in lingerie in his office.” she added, especially since he stole them from his assistant, in charge of costumes. “It was pictures of us in different types of lingerie that then had to be approved. And he kept all those pictures.” indeed confirmed Sophia Bush.
With his co-stars, Sophia Bush supported the 16 women who signed a letter accusing the showrunner in 2017. But she also recounted moments of great embarrassment for her and all the employees, “I remember he kept writing scenes for me to be in my underwear.” as well as an extremely violent argument for the young woman, when she wanted to leave the set. “You got fucking big tits that everyone wants to see!“then yelled Mark Schwahn at Sophia Bush.
