UPDATE: WarnerMedia Defends Walter Hamada In Response To Ray Fisher Twitter Blast Over His ‘Flash’ Dismissal

UPDATE: WarnerMedia has come out swinging in response to the social media post that Ray Fisher wrote on his exit from The Flash and allegations against DC Entertainment President Walter Hamada and …
deadline.com deadline.com

EARLIER, 8:24 pm PST: Ray Fisher is continuing his battle against WarnerMedia, sending out a Twitter manifesto on his recent dismissal from the upcoming Flash film.

The Justice League actor said he “strongly disagreed with their decision,” but said it was “unsurprising.” He again took issue with DC Films President Walter Hamada, claiming he undermined investigations into Fisher’s complaints about executive conduct on the Justice League set.

Fisher has been at-odds with Warner Bros. since last July, accusing Joss Whedon of abuse during the post-Zack Snyder reshoots of Justice League. A subsequent Warner Bros. investigation said unspecified “remedial action” was taken, and the investigation was concluded. No other details were revealed.

HBO Max will premiere the Zach Snyder director’s cut of Justice League featuring Fisher in 2021.

Former Buffy the Vampire and Angel actress Charisma Carpenter accused those shows’ creator, Joss Whedon, of abusive and harassing behavior on set. In an Instagram message posted today, the actress says the incidents “triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer.”

Carpenter claims the Buffy creator called her “fat” when she was 4 months pregnant, threatened to fire her and made people vie for his approval on set.

One specific instance she cites is when, in a closed-door meeting after learning of her pregnancy, Carpenter says Whedon “asked me if I was ‘going to keep it.’” The actress says Whedon “proceeded to attack my character, mock my religious beliefs, accuse me of sabotaging the show, and then unceremoniously fired me the following season once I gave birth.”

Buffy Actress Alleges Joss Whedon Abuse and Unprofessional Behavior, Supports Ray Fisher - IGN

Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Charisma Carpenter has spoken out against Joss Whedon in support of Ray Fisher.
www.ign.com www.ign.com

It turns out a group have put out a #IstandwithRayFisher tag on Twitter as part of a move to investigate Joss Whedon for Racial and Sexual Misconduct allegations.
 
And there is a sub-current of religious ridicule or persecution as Whedon is a professed atheist who has been rumored to dislike and even mistreat those with stronger religious beliefs.

Again, this, like the other accusations, has not been investigated or litigated to a conclusion.

The Joss Whedon allegations started out as an investigation over racism when Ray Fisher came forward but that has now quickly become an investigation over sexism allegations as some of the Buffy Cast members come forward on Whedon over toxic work environment on that show. Apparently Warner Brothers was accused of mishandling the racism allegations initially on Joss Whedon but we will wait and see how much bigger is going to be from there.

What Happened Between Joss Whedon And Ex-Wife Kai Cole?

Joss Whedon's ex-wife Kai Cole says it's time to take a long, hard look at her ex-husband, and for fans to reassess. Here's why, based on their relationship.
www.cheatsheet.com www.cheatsheet.com

Dang the Joss Whedon had a persona like Jerry Falwell jr. Instead of religion to play the righteous card it's apparently feminism was used as the righteous card until some of the actors blew the whistle on him for racism and sexual misconduct.

I swear I seen this before when Jerry and Becki Falwell played the righteous card in front of the camera until they got exposed for misconduct at Liberty University.

James Marsters Shares Bizarre Story About Joss Whedon | The Mary Sue

Joss Whedon has been coming under fire recently. The latest being James Marsters who played Spike on 'Buffy: The Vampire Slayer' and it's spin-off series 'Angel'.
www.themarysue.com www.themarysue.com

Another person comes forward on Joss Whedon this time another male actor comes forward and it's from Buffy, James Marster comes forward and accuse Joss Whedon of being dictatorial on the set of Buffy and getting into confrontations with Marster.


What's crazy here is that given the number of men now coming forward here on abuse allegations against Whedon one has to wonder how many more male actors will come out and say this or that director did questionable things. Only reason this does not happen is because of NDA's and being judged for not being "Macho Enough" or judged for losing their manhood.

I understand with the Female cast members it's more sympathetic due to the history of gender abuse and discrimination that's been discussed for the past few years.
