HOLY. SHIT.
Fuck Joss Whedon.
Fuck him to the moon and back.
Fuck him forever.
Glad I never bought those Buffy Blu-Rays when they were on sale.

Unfortunately, it probably will not. WB has been circling the wagons and protecting abusers throughout this and I don't see why that would change.
An absolutely disgusting individual.
It's sad that individuals like Whedon can't foster positive work spaces especially knowing he controls peoples careers.
Instead he choose to bully and scare people into compliance.
It makes perfect sense why him and Geoff John's got along so well.

That's pretty awful but the rumors were always there about how she got fired from Angel and she alluded to it in the past in previous interviews. I'm glad she finally spoke out.
I've been a pretty big fan of Angel, Buffy and Firefly. On top of the Harry Potter J.K Rowling fiasco, it's another instance of the creator of something I enjoy being terrible people.

Could Disney strip his director's credits for Avengers and AoU?
Probably don't want to be giving royalties to a POS like Whedon, especially with Wandavision so tied into AoU.
Fuck Whedon.

Depends how you take it, but regardless, asking a pregnant employee if she's going to have an abortion is never appropriate.
Edit: And that's the kindest possible interpretation of what he said to her.
I don't think the Director's Guild would allow that. They have pretty strict rules.
for the show
everyone knew there was some issues with her departure from Angel not to this extent
Goddamn. Fuck Whedon.
I haven't seen Angel in YEARS, so my memory is fuzzy, but I do remember thinking how shitty it was the way they handled her character.
I'm glad his career seems to be in the shitter at this point. Though with Hollywood's awful history, there's always work behind the scenes to salvage shitty white men's careers in that town. Hopefully this puts an end to it.

Yeah, I don't know what kind of PR or apology tour can help him come back from this given how he's sold himself previously.
The guy wrote a whole comic about where Buffy gets a abortion, reading this news makes it seem like he was trying to send a massage to the actress

Damn. I'll just pretend they were directed by Alan Smithee.
Fuck Whedon.
Buffy was created by Jane Espenson.
Repeat after me.
Buffy was created by Jane Espenson.
As much as I loved his work, fuck Joss Whedon. This is simply fucked up.
This post nails it.

I've never watched Buffy or Angel, but this is some real "what the actual fuck" shit.
Most of this news between Charisma and Josh came out since 5+ years ago. Disney didn't do much then, they won't do much now.
It was obvious that he just got rid of her after Season 4 of Angel (guessing that's when she was pregnant since the story accommodated it). Only having her in one Season 5 episode was BS.
She wrote more (and better) episodes than he did, anyway.
Doing that is not something that is in Disney's power to do. Joss is part of the Director's Guild and they have very strict rules about who gets credit for directing movies.
i don't think the director's guild would ever allow that. the guilds have very strict rules when it comes to credit. max landis still got writing credit for a 2020 movie even when his screenplay had been rewritten.
No offence but this sentiment is always so weird, like putting your head in the sand to keep supporting media you like. Joss Whedon created Buffy, and if that bothers you, don't watch it anymore. There are plenty of good TV shows out there.
Really disappointing that the DGA can't do anything like this.
So Avengers and AoU were directed by Alan Smithee.
Buffy was created by Jane Espenson.
Nobody will ever tell me different.

There has been horrible stories coming out about him since at least 2016, but he sadly keep going :(
In 2016 his ex-wife accused him of "multiple affairs and a number of inappropriate emotional ones that he had with his actresses, co-workers, fans and friends, while he stayed married to me." over the course of 15 years

Fucking hell, can't believe the guy I looked up to in the industry as 'one of us' is such a piece of shit.
I wonder if we'll end up with actors from his other works like Firefly & Dollhouse coming forward? You really have to hope not.

It's not about still enjoying Media. It's about recognizing the hard work of people who are total shitbags. Ergo, taking away Whedon's credit to the character and giving it Jane Espenson who was a better writer anyways.
Dirtbag is gone, and hard working people still get the credit they deserve without being tarnished by shitbag.
