Joss Whedon broke his months of silence about the abuse allegations against him. This is how we heard stories from those involved in Justice League (2017) on Whedon’s misconduct on set and around television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The director is especially angry with the actor Ray Fisher. In July 2020, he stated that Whedon had misbehaved enormously, completely unacceptable, on the set of Justice League. It was the spark that led to the collapse of Whedon’s entire career.
A worthless actor
Fisher stated at the time that Whedon had lightened his complexion in Justice League because he wouldn’t have been a fan of that (a story that was later retracted). Fisher also stated that he had a much smaller story than Cyborg for racist reasons, while he would first be the heart of the film.
But according to Whedon, that is not the case. Whedon said he drastically cut Fisher’s screen time in the movie because “Cyborg’s story didn’t make sense”. In addition, he felt that the actor delivered bad acting. The allegations on the part of Fisher were “not true and not worth discussing”.
According to Whedon, it was a malicious act. “We’re talking about a bad actor in both senses of the word.”
Fisher already responded on Twitter:
Looks like Joss Whedon got to direct an endgame after all…
Rather than address all of the lies and buffoonery today–I will be celebrating the legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Tomorrow the work continues.#MLKDay
