Career

In 2017, after the show had ended, spurred on by the Me Too Movement and accusations of sexual harassment committed by fellow The CW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, Wauchope tweeted a thread about sexual harassment and misconduct she and Specter experienced on their first writing job. While she did not name him or the show in the thread, it was confirmed that she was referring to the creator and showrunner of One Tree Hill, Mark Schwann. Her allegations encouraged many other writers and actresses on both One Tree Hill and Schwann's then-current show, The Royals to speak out about sexual harassment they had experienced from Schwann.
