backed the actor’s story. Multiple people who worked on both shows said Whedon created a “cult of personality” who behaved with scorn and disparagement to employees who displeased him. A person with direct knowledge of production on “Buffy” corroborated toMichelle Trachtenberg’s claim on Instagram that there was a “rule” she could not be alone with Whedon.

Whedon told New York he was “not mannerly” with Carpenter when she told him she was pregnant, but he denied ever calling her fat. “Most of my experiences with Charisma were delightful and charming,” Whedon said. “She struggled sometimes with her lines, but nobody could hit a punch line harder than her.”The New York story also contains several new allegations of workplace misconduct by Whedon.

“Buffy” costume designer Cynthia Bergstrom said that during Season 5 of the show, she Whedon and Gellar had a dispute over a costume in front of her. “I was like, ‘Joss, let’s just get her dressed,'” Bergstrom said. “He grabbed my arm and dug in his fingers until his fingernails imprinted the skin and I said, ‘You’re hurting me.'”

And Erin Shade, who worked as an assistant on the ABC series “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” which Whedon co-created, said that Whedon engaged her in a secret relationship when she was 23 and he was 49, including paying her $2,500 to watch him write at his home over the weekend, so long as she hid the relationship from her bosses.

Marvel were smart enough to got rid of this moron after Age of Ultron for (as they put it ?) differences. WB only did it thanks to Fisher going public, if not, he would right now mistreating the cast and crew of Batgirl and The Nevers.

Cyborg is a boring character.

Ray Fisher logically makes no sense.

It 'logically' made no sense to him because the movie and the characters were not his ideas, he was brought in to finish someones else ideas.

Cyborg is made from the mother box. He should have been the star of the film.

Joss Whedon apenas confirmou que continua racista e ofensivo, além de não ter respeito com o trabalho das mulheres. Aliás! porque W. Hamada que aparentemente demonstra o mesmo comportamento é intocável 🤔

If he said Cyborgs design was atrocious, I'd agree with that.

His explanation makes no sense.

Buffoonery 🤣🤣🤣

There comes a time where you have to stop licking WB's boots.

The words of a megalomanic sociopath. Whedon is not a well person.

Can we just bury Joss Whedon and agree that this is why we need more women writers, women directors and more accountability in every fucking field and career and department and institution?

At least you tried Joss.

No one is believing in this paid piece of crap sponsored by WB trying to show Ray Fisher in bad light. IStandWithRayFisher BoycottWB

Gotta love the last half of this article. He wanted a tell all interview to revive his career and I came away with an even lesser opinion of him.

I need to know the thought process that led to him saying this shit on the record lmao

I appreciate that Whedon couldn't help himself from making a backhanded compliment immediately after explaining what a delightful and charmingly nice fella he is.

Joss has destroyed his career and respect even further beyond.

Should've stayed silent

Nah

I dont think the man who thinks that JL 2017 looks good or thought it was better than ZSJL can speak about how is and isnt bad at their job

He seems salty

Joss Whedon is the definition of a jerky Kyle or Chad with a f*ckface.

“I don’t threaten people. Who does that?” Whedon told New York. “English is not her first language, and…” Seriously? Fuck this guy. Does he think he comes off good in this interview?

Petty, petty little man

Why are you giving this creep a platform? Anyone that had to be restrained from being alone with a 15 year old on the Buffy set is untrustworthy

Joss 'Hippo Scrotum' Whedon!

I hate this dude but that’s such a clever line 😆

Yes, let's interview the predator.

Joss Whedon is a bad director both in the sense of being a bad person and also in being the man behind Josstice League and Age of Ultron. How ironic. IStandWithRayFisher IStandWithCharismaCarpenter

The Snyder Cut is the best DC movie since “Batman Returns”. Whedon made a lot of bad decisions.

No, Joss.
