“#’English Is Not Her First Language’?! Joss Whedon Breaks Long Silence On Abuse Allegations In Shocking Interview!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWell, there\u2019s breaking your silence and then there\u2019s breaking<\/em> your silence. Wow.<\/p>\n

Joss Whedon<\/strong> has been accused of abusive, bullying behavior by various cast members across multiple projects over the past year or so, and throughout it all it seemed the usually wordy writer was keen to keep his head down and avoid any press on the situation.<\/p>\n

But it turns out he was just biding his time and waiting to hit back if his new profile in\u00a0New York<\/em> magazine is anything to go on. Over the course of the\u00a0bombshell interview, the\u00a0Avengers<\/em> director responds to almost every allegation, and it isn\u2019t to apologize one-by-one.<\/p>\n

The accusations that opened the floodgates were made by\u00a0Ray Fisher<\/strong>, the actor who played Cyborg in the\u00a0Justice League<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n

Whedon was hired to take over after director\u00a0Zack Snyder<\/strong>\u2018s family tragedy caused him to have to leave the project. (At least, that was the public story \u2014 more recently Snyder has implied the film was taken away from him due to studio worries, which makes sense considering they had one of the architects of the\u00a0Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/strong> come in and reshoot a ton of it.)<\/p>\n

Three years after the movie came out, Fisher took back all the positive words he had said at the time about Whedon\u2019s direction and took to Twitter<\/a><\/strong> to accuse him of \u201cgross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable\u201d behavior. He also blasted the higher-ups at\u00a0Warner Bros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While Whedon said none of Fisher\u2019s claims were \u201ceither true or merited discussing\u201d he did specifically respond to the implication that he was racist in having lightened the skin tone of Fisher and other actors of color, calling that accusation \u201cfalse and unjust.\u201d The filmmaker says he simply brightened everything<\/em>, costumes, backgrounds, all the colors through the entire movie (which is pretty obviously true and was remarked on heavily in reviews at the time) and that it wasn\u2019t targeted at actors\u2019 skin colors.<\/p>\n
