Actor Ray Fisher accused director Joss Whedon of “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable” behavior on the set of the 2017 film “Justice League,” in a

, after Snyder left the project due to a death in his family. Fisher played the cybernetic superhero Cyborg in the film, alongside Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck’s Batman, Henry Cavill’s Superman, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, and Ezra Miller’s the Flash.

The resulting film received mixed-to-negative reviews and grossed a disappointing $657.9 million worldwide; more importantly, the tonal mix of Snyder and Whedon’s sensibilities led many fans to see the film as an unacceptable compromise of Snyder’s true vision.

You know what, everybody has a story. Get paid. That’s my motto

He made me say 'BOOYA' 😭

I have a few more for your list .... years of unacceptable behavior - that is no longer acceptable. Time for a change, time for people to educate themselves on what it means to be a Director and a decent human being.

If you hate Geoff then don't see WW84

IStandWithRayFisher

ScottAdamsSays The producers and director didnt have to give him a job; Perhaps fisher can raise his own money and produce his own movies Or better he get out of the intertainment industry and get degree re: actors no one has heard of dont 'run' a movie

I'm not jumping any guns, but ppl forget that Joss isn't innocent at all, and was previously outed by his ex-wife and some contemporaries for being a misogynistic POS.

Are we really surprised by this I lost any respect I had for Joss years ago.

whinny boy .... needs to go home to mommy 😟

Two_Cams25 I thought this was the guy from power

How do you trades feel about being John's puppets? Like a lovesick puppy dog following his master for the next doggie snack. Roll over. Good boy. Write about that.

I know we're (rightly) listening and believing victims more these days but this: 'Fisher offered no corroboration for his claims, and attempts to reach his representatives for further clarification went unanswered.' This is an unacceptably low standard. Say it or don't.

Dude get over yourself!!! Josh is a grown man, he cleaned up the movie as best he could considering the acting totally sucked!! The problem with the movies was you and the other actors, not the producer!! Take some responsibility for you sucking!! A hole!!😂😉

I’ve never heard of either of these men.

ScottAdamsSays Not surprising. Does that guy strike anyone as a decent human being? I bet his dog won’t even sit in the same room with him.

Wow, a minor actor in a crappy movie is mad at the director. And oddly enough all the other actors in all the other movies and TV shows aren't backing him up. Sounds like a personal beef.

IStandWithRayFisher

Yea buy ray Fisher didn't want to say 'booyah' so I guess there's 2 sides to every story

Im sure I'm not the first to say this...why tf are you gonna wait 3 years to say something if the behavior was that bad? Sounds to me like ray fisher is wanting to garner some attention for something.

ScottAdamsSays God help any creator that doesn't check Twitter daily for their new morality instructions.

The guy does spend all day everyday angrily twittering his own superiority - Closet white supremacist.

Here we go

IstandwithRayFisher

geoffjohns and Jon Berg were complicit in this behaviour aswell.

ScottAdamsSays Looks like may have accompanied those accusations with squeals and simpers

'I'm not defending him, but...' Shut up. He's hard left and he made Firefly, so for most progressives, he'll get a pass.

Waaah!!!

magacominginhot Can't we all just get along and stop snitching?

The only thing I can think about is how not one of his cast stepped up for him during the Release The Snyder Cut nonsense. But they did for Zack.

IStandWithRayFisher

You can ask to CaitlinBurles o maybe GalGadot about it... Make your job!!! ATT hbomax WarnerMedia

As expected. Joss Whedon destroyed that movie and given Whedon's past actions I believe Ray

Any body else getting an “alien from This Island Earth” vibe from Josh Whedon’s head?

Fuck joss Whedon

Marvel vs D.C. beef

joss C’mon let’s go outside. We gon fight.

Now they eat their own...

Should’ve just made more Firefly instead, Joss

At least Ray still has his marbles, unlike poor Shelly Duvall

Josh Whedon was MEAN to me! 😭😭😭

He’s just mad he got cut out of a crappy movie because it would’ve been the biggest thing he’s been a part of

So what are the examples of claimed bad behavior?

So he's unprofessional? Mmmk. Aren't all celebs when you work for them? Drugged out performances, screaming at people back stage, actor's beating the crap out of extra's, James Cameron nailed someone's phone to a door, director's, actors, musicians. They are all a-holes probably.

Not comparing the two at all but I remember some actors saying that about Stanley Kubrick.

IstandWithJossWhedon

Woke

People really need to be careful when they use the word abuse. This gets Joss lumped in with sexual and physical abusers, and it’s unclear if Ray is even accusing Joss of that.

I would have characterized Whedon’s job of mangling the Justice League as gross, abusive, and completely unacceptable. Little did I know he was guilty of so much more than lines like ”My toes hurt. I don't even understand the physics of it” or brunch jokes.

Fisher was mad because they asked him to say “Booyah!”

ScottAdamsSays Lol...I love it when Hollywood eats its own! 😂😂😂😂

CancelJossWhedon

I’d need to hear what happened no one has ever mentioned Joss before

ScottAdamsSays Lovers spat gettin' nasty

Firstly, it’s a shame it took this long for the tide to turn against Whedon. Glad it’s finally happening. Secondly, for the record, Joss Whedon being a terrible human does not change the fact that Zack Snyder is still a terrible director.

He's black and oppressed so it must be true. Whedons a douchebag anyway.

ScottAdamsSays Because he's a performative outrage clown looking to steal the spotlight complaining about oppression while on a movie set. The literal definition of wannabe princess

ScottAdamsSays behold the long list of mind reading commenters

Damn loool

Awwww...did he have a mean boss? Welcome to what the rest of the world deals with on a daily basis...and we deal with it...because it's part of life and we have to feed our families. CelebrityPrivilege

Any news on LockUpBryanSinger or JamesGunn seems pedohollywood is more serious than a difficult director. Didn't think so.

Enough of this. Bring back Firefly already.

Ultimately only the cast and crew who worked with Whedon know what really happened. I respect Ray for speaking out. Obviously a lot happened on that film , behind the scenes, that we will probably never know about.

Ray is salty that cyborg wasn't that important in the movie ..he made it clear a ling time ago ,just another way to cry about it

So because the Snyder cut is happening dude became Big Dick Boy and throw shade? Better hope that cut doesn’t critically flop.

ScottAdamsSays Anyone reading Whedon's tweets will not be surprised...lol.

booshing214 Been knew

Not saying this would be true, but, Zack certainly would have more respect and professionalism if he didn't have to leave the project because of personal family reasons. But in a court of law, innocent until proven guilty. Here's hoping Joss makes a statement of some kind

Whedon also bullied Chris Evans because Chris reminded Whedon of ‘jocks who bullied him in high school’. He’s an asshole and a fraud and I’m glad Ray Fisher is exposing him.

Not surprised.

How old is this movie?

Sounds like his career isn't taking off like he hoped and he's blaming Joss

Nah I don’t buy it

Yeah. Like Jon Berg is going to be all “You got me!” When you ask for his response guys. 😂😂😂

Oh man, who told him this would be a good idea? Bubba? Jussie?

IStandWithRayFisher

Joss Whedon did a fantastic work created with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and the directed of two Avengers movies. I read about him taking over Justice League onset and messed up all scene that Zack Snyder had stepped down due to loss of his daughter.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Whedon is a bit of psycho......

ScottAdamsSays Looks like someone is butthurt!

This clearly cannot be true.. I know for a fact.. I've seen Joss Signaling his Virtue all over Twitter these past years! He can't POSSIBLY be part of the problem.. right?

Imagine the faces on James Cameron, David O Russell, David Fincher, Werner Herzog, Terrance Mallick, Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Michael Bay, FF Coppola, Michael Mann, Lars von Trier, et al, as they read about how 'abusive' Joss Whedon is.

FuckGeoffJohns FuckJossWhedon FuckJonBerg FuckWonderWoman84

borglife

Fuck Josstice League

….wouldn't let the actor say 'Booya?' But that's his thing! The thing that he says!

Hype train for the snyder cut in full effect

When musing about directing Batgirl his main concern was “what’s her damage.” Every “strong woman” character he’s written is broken and traumatized to her core. He apparently gets off on that. Yeah, he’s a garbage person. Misogyny dressed up as feminism is vomit worthy.

lul no mater what justice league was gonna suck DC movies ((except the second dark knight film and shazam)) are complete trash mainly because they don't respect their audience what so ever

Vague, specious comments about a dude who has been working in the industry for decades and so far has escaped all other such allegations... yeah - withholding judgement until something or someone backs it up credibly.

Wait. What did he do. The article never says what he did.

CancelWhedon lol

But he hammered those checks every Friday

redsteeze After suffering thru this film, I agree that his directing was abusive and unprofessional

He was the least interesting character in that movie. Looks to me this actor wants some attention...

Can you be more specific

Ray just cancelled himself. Okay, Joss was rude...doesn’t surprise me but to dredge it all up now years later and for what? Some new press? This is gonna bite Ray Fisher in the ass when nobody wants to hire him anymore. Is the Cyborg stand alone still happening Probably not now

~Not surprised~ This man has a history of violence

Ok, we listen: what did he do that was unprofessional, gross and/or abusive?

ScottAdamsSays Yup. Devouring their own. No sympathy here; they shoulda seen it coming. We've been warning them.

We already knew Whedon was a dirt bag.

Yess cancelhollywood

Going to need more details before I make a comment or decision.

🙄🙄 four years later he comes out and tells everybody this . Seriously. Couldn't have said it back then. 🤦

🙄🙄

Joss basically got rid of any scenes with Cyborg

I don’t believe it.

Do Geoff did exactly what? Don't be such a toolbag, this is just a failed actor trying to capitalize upon the current political climate

ScottAdamsSays That entire movie was abusive and unprofessional.

IStandWithRayFisher

What a bitch.

Justice League?

Joss Whedon has a lot of history. How many will come forward about him I wonder?

Allofasudden

Why don’t we stop throwing allegations around that “cancel” people before we have proof 🤷🏼‍♀️

IStandWithRayFisher

Trouble in DC paradise?

I bet Ray was the real Azz. He had that look of he thinks all that and a bag of chips.

Deep state military is the major source of financing for Hollywood movies and endless parade of sex violence and flag waving. DEFUND HOLLYWOOD. ITS ALL A LIE.

Do I believe the one whining or the one who has a history of abusing his power? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Boo hoo

Be specific

redsteeze I too have decided that something from 3 years ago has now offended my sensibilities and I’ll use Twitter to tell everyone about it.

so we're now cancelling people based on vague insults?

You can’t make a statement like this and not go into details.

Where all the marvel bootlickers at?

It makes sense now why he’s had difficulty getting projects made after the success of The Avengers.

This has been such a great week watching all these woke liberals eating each other. All a bunch of hypocrites!

The same Josh Whedon that cheated on his wife then tried to smear her for leaving him? Shocking

ScottAdamsSays He's just a whiny pr+ck

This is why he's a nobody, bit of rough directing and he starts to cry Wouldn't of lasted a day with Stanley Kubrick

I've met him several times and worked for him a couple of times, he was always professional and kind as far as I've witnessed.

Stories have been rapant about Joss in the last few years. None of this is surprising. That it's all in service to raising interest in Snyder's 5 hour long Justice League movie is off-putting however.

ScottAdamsSays I love how much libs focus on the problems of greedy millionaire celebs. These people live in an ENTIRELY different culture from normal Americans. By trying to make a connection between the two, you end up misrepresenting real America. Beyond tired of hearing bout these fools.

I love watching whiny leftists eat each other

🤣

Go away man. Nobody cares about you or your shit Cyborg movie.

I would love to know specific instances, and would love to hear both sides of the story too. Even then, I probably wouldn't take sides because I wasn't there, and I don't know these guys personally...

joss whedon sucks so i believe it

CANCEL EVERYONE!

Just cancel him.

Everybody knows Whedon is a complete ahole.

I would normally say that Joss Whedon deserves to tell his side of the story but he's such an insufferable prick that I can't generate the energy.

Words hurt...

He was the worst actor to play a “super hero” ever. I’m

Race relations are so bad in America people have to invent hate crimes

Oh boy, case closed, doesn’t matter how woke Josh is, he’s white

He doesn't say what the behavior was, just that he is retracting a positive statement he made. If you don't say it man, you are just an enabler dude. Stop hinting for viral views and just say it JossWhedon vs. RayFisher

ScottAdamsSays looks gay

ScottAdamsSays Nobody cares. Take it up with HR, you narcissist.

nexuspong IStandWithRayFisher

ScottAdamsSays Let Follywood eat their own children.

ScottAdamsSays The brave, beautiful POC™ are unhappy again everyone. We must again sacrifice an evil privileged wypipo so satiate their lust for racial justice™. We must cancel Joss Whedon post haste, lest we ourselves be called the dreaded word which we are fear the most...'raycist!'

Whedon lost his mind when President Trump was elected

ScottAdamsSays Which one is Ray, and which one is Joss? Bc im pretty sure the black guy is right.

IstandwithRayFisher

Not surprised. Joss is straight up crazy.

ScottAdamsSays Vagueness in allegations does not help

ScottAdamsSays BLACK FRAGILITY

ScottAdamsSays Covid, Dead or Cancelled.

ScottAdamsSays Joss has slowly let his TDS destroy him.

Given that this isn't the first time someone he's worked with has come out with stories about him and the way he treated his ex-wife and others on set, I'm inclined to believe he's abusive on set.

ScottAdamsSays The left eating it's own again? Tee hee

ScottAdamsSays Who? Who?

Por que sera que me imaginó que el fue el unico que se rio cuando se grabo la escena del chiste de Fiódor Dostoyevski...

Receipts?

Lots of feminists rightly pointing to Whedon’s hypocrisy as he cheated on his wife. Just funny that they never extend that hypocrisy to Ilhan Omar, who destroyed another woman’s marriage via an affair 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did they recast Cyborg?

If you want to know what it was really like to work with Joss Whedon then ask SarahMGellar & AllCharisma & David_Boreanaz they would all know as they were on the set of Buffy and Angel for many years

Only thing I don't get is why be cloak and dagger about it? If you're gonna call him out, call out what he did specifically.

redsteeze It’s always the ‘wokest’ amongst the left.

I mean, is this news? I thought people have known Joss is a dirtbag going back to Dollhouse and even further.

IStandWithRayFisher

Joss's abuse towards women and young people have been well well known its been protected for years. im happy RAY had the courage to step up! CharismaCarpenter

Nope. This is a bridge to far. Been following Joss Whedon since the 90s.

I can't believe vague and undefined accusations. I'm not saying Ray is lying, but there's no reason at this point to believe him.

What are people going to do when their beloved Snyder cut comes out and is worse than the Whedon cut?

Lame dude. Waits til now to speak up when it’s easy. Coward

Can he elaborate? I always see people trying to cancel Joss Whedon but no one ever explains what he actually did.

I need more info, but decades into his career this is the first allegation against Whedon who seems well-liked by former cast and crew and Ray himself said he liked working with Whedon in 2017. So this is weird.

They do anything for clout

SoCalValleyGal Joss Whedon has been well known in Pedowood for decades.

redsteeze How the mighty have fallen.

This article doesn't say what he did. I call bullshit. Maybe Joss sucks, maybe he doesn't, idk... this article is nonsense.

Sadly guys like Joss flew under the geek radar and now are being rightfully caught. Sucks that the work will be looked at differently but, people still revere Lennon and he was a big piece of human shit.

That anyone thought he was a “feminist” 🤷🏾‍♀️ Also, it’s so Hollywood. 😒

He’s not the first.

Joss Whedon has done amazing work. With Buffy, Firefly, Avengers. He was thrown into a crazy situation trying to salvage a broken Snyderverse. Let’s see some details and evidence before we conclude anything

I'm not saying he's wrong but it sure would be nice to hear specifics instead of broad generalizations if you're going to go after someone like this. That said, if he's a creep, he's a creep. And we'll follow suit accordingly.

Why did he wait till now?

Ok, this only regarding this issue. Without specifics provided I am not in a rush to cancel Joss. Does he realize the scope of what Joss had to deal with to come in that late. I would forgive Joss not being nice the whole time and Geoff for supporting him.

are we surprised

IStandWithRayFisher ♥️

BEHOLD, VENGEANCE HAS COME. SNYDER CUT COMETH WITH THUNDER!!!

I♥️RF

I’m not defending Joss but Ray doesn’t even say what that behavior was and everyone’s already trying to cancel him.

So proud of him. Joss and Geoff Johns should be blacklisted.

RIP Joss.

JossWhedon made a career of featuring petite or vulnerable women and exploiting/abusing them onscreen under the guise of female empowerment. Ray Fisher's comments should be no surprise to Buffy, Angel, Firefly or Dollhouse fans. Stop falling for fake-woke 'male-feminists.'

Hey remember that time Loki threatened to have BlackWidow raped and called her a c***? That happened under JossWhedon 's watch FYI. MarvelStudios Disney

Welcome to social media 2020! An accusation is as good as an execution! Step right up! Grab your popcorn!

Is it because every part of the movie was a dumpster fire? I mean the acting, directing, editing.... just truly awful

More like Josh WheDONE

Let’s see if this gets the coverage the no chairs on set Nolan rumors did.

That’s why Joss Whedon isn’t relevant anymore
