Showrunner Mark Schwahn has been suspended from his series The Royals at the E! network following allegations of sexual harassment.

Earlier this week, former cast and crew members of the hit CW show One Tree Hill, which Schwahn created in 2003, banded together to accuse him of inappropriate behavior after writer Audrey Wauchope suggested Schwahn sexually harassed women on the staff.

E!, Universal Cable Productions and Lionsgate Television take sexual harassment allegations very seriously, investigate them thoroughly and independently, and take appropriate action, the three companies said in a statement to HuffPost. Lionsgate has suspended Mark Schwahn from The Royals as we continue our investigation.

Schwahn hasnt publicly addressed the allegations, and HuffPost was unable to reach a rep. CNN reported an attorney for Schwahn didnt answer an inquiry.
