In a post which has been liked thousands of times, Peyton announced she would not be returning in the third season.
Why, you ask? Because I stand with my sisters. I personally witnessed two men in high positions of power on that set seek out and verbally abuse multiple women.
Making reference to the TimesUp campaign, Peyton stressed the importance of using her voice, writing: “I promised myself that if I were ever in a situation to say something that I would. I have 11.5 thousand followers who can hear me say this, TIME IS UP .”
