Prominent television and film maker Joss Whedon has been accused of abuse from actresses who worked with him on the set of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Representatives for Whedon didn't immediately respond to a request from CBS News on Friday. Actress Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase, was the first person from the show to bring forward the allegations. Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Buffy's younger sister in the series, also leveled accusations against Whedon, saying he did not display "appropriate behavior" around her as a teenager. While quoting Carpenter's accusations on Twitter, Amber Benson called the set of Buffy a "toxic environment and it starts at the top."

Whedon, the prominent film and TV creator who faced a claim of abusive behavior on the set of Justice League, drew criticism Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021, from actors who worked with him on Buffy the Vampire Slayer including Gellar and Carpenter. Whedon didnt immediately respond to a request for comment. “While I am proud to have my name associated with Buffy Summers, I don’t want to be forever associated with the name Joss Whedon,” Gellar wrote. The company said then that “remedial action” had been taken, but did not go into specifics. Last month his character Cyborg was removed from appearing in the upcoming “Flash” film, which Carpenter said was the last straw for her.

The long-awaited "Snyder Cut" of "Justice League" will arrive on HBO Max on March 18. When "Justice League" was released in 2017, it was marred by harsh critical reviews. The telecommunications company, which owns WarnerMedia, reported that HBO and HBO Max now have a combined 41.5 million domestic subscribers, up 20% from 34.6 million a year prior. Of the 37.7 million HBO Max-eligible subscribers, 30 million came from wholesalers and 6.8 million were through retail channels. This means that nearly half of HBO subscribers who were eligible to get HBO Max have not signed up yet.
