Charisma Carpenter on Wednesday posted a lengthy message on social media in which she accused Joss Whedon of "hostile and toxic" behavior on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff, Angel.
"For nearly two decades, I have held my tongue and even made excuses for certain events that traumatize me to this day," she began.
"Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions while working together on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel," she wrote of the show creator. "The disturbing incidents triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer. It is with a beating, heavy heart that I say I coped in isolation and, at times, destructively."
Whedon had no comment as of press time.
Carpenter claimed Whedon found his alleged misconduct "amusing," claiming he was particularly cruel to her while she was pregnant, even calling her "fat" in front of cast and crew.
"He was mean and biting, disparaging about others openly, and often played favorites," she wrote. When Whedon found out she was pregnant, she says, he asked the actress if she was "going to keep it" and "manipulatively weaponized my womanhood and faith against me," Carpenter alleged.
Speaking about her pregnancy and stress, Carpenter wrote that all her joy was "sucked right out," adding, “I made excuses for his behavior and repressed my own pain.”

Let’s see the police reports and the union complaints before we jump to conclusions.
In that case, I have been abused and I don’t care.
It’s twenty years and she’s traumatized...please.
She wants attention and a job.
“Seal Team” with him is ok. “SWAT” is decent. It is OK when its not preachy. It has characters with they original names except the replaced TJ with an Asian dude and a lesbian.

You have a nice evening.
Yes - Kristy Swanson (proud conservative and internet warrior) played Buffy in the film w/ the late Luke Perry.
I liked the series w/ SMG for a bit - until it got too weird, but Kristy owns the role imo.
I wouldn’t give an interview, problem solved.
I don’t care what happens to either one of them, they don’t exist as far as I’m concerned. They’re both oxygen wasters.
Even Sheldon didn’t care for him.
You can rent Charisma Carpenter....

BTW it would have been nice if she and others had spoken up years ago so that many other people would not have been victims.
She is ardent anti-Trump. She knows first hand what hollywood studios and directors etc will do to a career yet she is all for what is happening to Donald Trump.
Geller has been wise to keep her money, spend it sensibly and not seek the media.
Yes, that’s his name.
The sad thing is that he’s actually a terrific writer, director and producer. He was behind both “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel,” but also the amazing “Firefly” and quite good, but sometimes creepy, “Dollhouse.”
He also wrote and directed “The Avengers,” “The Avengers, Age of Ultron.” He also has writing credits on “Alien Resurection” (I recall thinking it had to be Wheedon, due to the dialog) and believe it or not, “Toy Story,” where he was nominated for “Best Original Screenplay.”
He’s talented, but also a seriously, hard-core leftist.
