Joss Whedon

Absolutely shocking and appalling claims being made about his abusive, bullying and controlling behaviour towards cast members of Justice League, Buffy and Angel.
I had heard rumours about his conduct towards Charisma Carpenter on the set of Angel years ago but she has now confirmed they are indeed true and has also confirmed much worse conduct too. Lots of other cast members have now also spoken out in support of her.
Absolutely awful that she hasn�t felt able to speak her truth for almost 20 years due to fear of reprisals 😢

My DH was talking about this yesterday. It's shocking you're right. We enjoyed Buffy and Angel such a shame.

Interestingly, Joss is staying quiet about it all. Appalling behaviour, he can�t stay quiet for long. Always love(d) watching Buffy, and especially Angel.

Sad thing is, I wouldn't even call it shocking anymore. What is it with these POS men trying to belittle and abuse young, talented actors? Joss with Charisma, Michael Bay with Megan Fox (read that Bad Boys waterfall scene comment - creep) and Mark Schwahn with the women of One Tree Hill.

One can only hope we don't get the moronic stream of "Why are they only now speaking out?" comments. Cause let's be honest, if you were to do a poll of 'regular' people and their experience of creeps in a work environment it would be rather unsettling.

I�m not sure why anyone is surprised. It has never been a secret how CC was treated in her pregnancy even though she glossed over it until now, I rewatched Angel last year and was horrified to read how she was treated even before all the allegations came out. Cordelia was cut out of Angel in her prime, her crime? Pregnancy, womanhood. Clear discrimination. Angel was cancelled itself due to Joss� own arrogance, gutting as it was really just getting in its stride.

I�m relieved the cast members are showing solidarity.
