Gal Gadot shared That Joss Whedon “Threatened Her Career”
In a recent interview with Israeli news channel N12, the Wonder Woman actress spoke of working with the director, who stepped in to film and re-shoot Justice League after the exit of Zack Snyder due to a family tragedy.
She said, “What I had with Joss, basically, is that he kind of threatened my career and told me that if I did something, he would ensure that my career would be miserable. And I simply handled it on the spot.”
Gal Gadot’s Experience With Joss Whedon Has Been One Of Many Stories To Come Out About The Director In Recent Times

Carpenter who worked with Whedon on Buffy and Angel said the director “abused his power on numerous occasions.”
She said, “While he found his misconduct amusing, it only served to intensify my performance anxiety, disempower me and alienate me from my peers. The disturbing incidents triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer.”
In response to Charisma’s message Amber Benson, who played Tara Maclay on Buffy, tweeted, “Buffy was a toxic environment and it starts at the top.”
Seven months prior to Charisma’s comments Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in 2017’s Justice League, tweeted about Joss’s on-set treatment of the Justice League cast and crew of Justice League calling it “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.”
