Cyborg Actor Ray Fisher Says Joss Whedon Should Be 'Scared' of Abuse Investigation

Back at the beginning of the month, Cyborg actor Ray Fisher tweeted a video of him speaking at SDCC 2017, where he praised Joss Whedon as a "great guy," with this caption: "I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement." The actor then went on to say that Whedon's "on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable" and that former DC Films co-leads Geoff Johns and Jon Berg "enabled" the behavior. Now, during Fisher's Justice Con panel, Fisher said, replying to a question about his previous statements, "Obviously I put out some pretty strong words, and some pretty strong comments about Joss Whedon and every single one of those words, and every single one of those comments is true." Fisher then added "there is a process that is being undergone as we speak to get to the heart of everything that I’m talking about." "The man is probably scared," Fisher said, "and he should be because we are going to get to the heart of everything -- everything -- that went down."

But there is a certain amount of abuse, there's a certain amount of behavior that one is willing to tolerate and once it gets beyond that point you gotta go ahead and deal with it." Following Fisher's remarks from weeks back, Jon Berg responded by saying it was "categorically untrue that we enabled any unprofessional behavior."
