Ray Fisher addresses Joss Whedon allegations after support from Buffy stars: ‘I’ve not been sued because they know I’m telling the truth’

Justice League actor went public with claims about Whedon’s ‘abusive’ behaviour last July

Justice League star Ray Fisher has reacted after several fellow actors offered support over his allegations against director Joss Whedon.

In July 2020, Fisher claimed that Whedon engaged in “gross, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable” behaviour on the set of 2017’s Justice League.

His allegations, on which Whedon did not comment, led to an investigation into the director’s behaviour by WarnerMedia, where several other actors who had worked with the director in the past were interviewed by officials.

The investigation concluded in December, with WarnerMedia announcing that “remedial action” had been taken.

Last Wednesday (10 February), Charisma Carpenter, who worked with Whedon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, extended her support to Fisher and made her own accusations against Whedon, which include the claim that she was fired from Angel after having a baby. The Independent has contacted Whedon for comment.

Other Buffy and Angel stars have also come forward with support for Carpenter, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Eliza Dushku and Amy Acker, with Michelle Trachtenberg and Amber Benson also making their own allegations against Whedon.

Writing on Twitter earlier today (16 February), Fisher referred to his claims against Whedon and mentioned some of Justice League’s producers and Warner Bros executives.

“There’s only one reason that I haven’t been sued by Joss Whedon,” he wrote, also naming other producers and executives who worked on the film. “They know I’m telling the truth.”
