Last year, actor Charisma Carpenter came forward with allegations against Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, specifically accusing him of being abusive to her on set while she was pregnant.

Whedon gave a wide-ranging interview to New York magazine this week, in which he addressed Carpenter's allegations as well as similar claims from Justice League stars Ray Fisher and Gal Gadot. He...did not come off great.

Whedon acknowledged being "not mannerly" to Carpenter on occasion, but denied her allegations regardless. "Most of my experiences with Charisma were delightful and charming," he said. "She struggled sometimes with her lines, but nobody could hit a punch line harder than her."
In response to Whedon's comments, Carpenter posted a statement on Twitter with the hashtag "#IStandWithRayFisher."

"#IStandWithRayFisher," the statement read, "the 'malevolent force' and 'bad actor in both senses' who poisoned my feeble mind with trendy buzzwords and corrupt ideas about my experiences with a former tyrannical narcissistic boss who is unable to be accountable and just apologize."

Her statement references Whedon's claims that Fisher was a "malevolent force" and "a bad actor in both senses," as well as that Fisher supposedly influenced others to make similar allegations against Whedon.

Fisher issued his own statement yesterday, seemingly referring to Whedon's comments as "lies and buffoonery" and saying, "Looks like Joss Whedon got to direct an endgame after all...".

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.
