Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, accused creator Joss Whedon of abusing her on the sets of iconic TV shows, particularly while she was pregnant.

The actor tweeted a statement Wednesday claiming Whedon « abused his power multiple times » and created a « hostile and toxic work environment » while working with him on Buffy and Angel.

She claimed Whedon had them in Her colleagues called her « fat » for the fourth month of her pregnancy, asked if she « would keep it, » and discharged her after she was born.

« Joss has a story where he was casually cruel, » said Carpenter . « Although he found his wrongdoing amusing, it only served to heighten my performance anxiety, disempower me, and alienate me from my colleagues. »

She said the « disruptive incidents » caused a « chronic physical condition » that she still has. She said she was isolated and « sometimes destructive » about it.

The complex and nuanced role of Carpenter as Cordelia in three seasons of Buffy and four of Angel made her a fan favorite. Her character’s death to Angel was widely criticized by fans of teen drama.

Following Carpenter’s allegations, Buffy co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a statement on Instagram: « Though I’m proud to name my name Buffy To associate Summers, I don’t want to be forever associated with the name Joss Whedon.  » «  »

Gellar said she would not make any further statements at this point, adding, « I stand by all of the abuse survivors and am proud that they spoke up. »

When she was on the fourth Months pregnant, she called her « fat » by colleagues while weighing 126 pounds. At one meeting with her, she added, he berated her and despised her for a rosary tattoo that she found « spiritually grounded ».

She said Whedon had deliberately turned down several calls from her agents to ask him inform about their pregnancy. When he found out, in a closed meeting he asked her if she « would keep it, » Carpenter said.

« He attacked my character, mocked my religious beliefs, accused me of sabotaging the show and released me without further ado the following season as soon as I was born, « she said.

Carpenter said she only endured the abuse because she wanted to care for her future child as the main breadwinner of her family.

She said these incidents occurred during one of the « best » times as a new mom.

Carpenter’s allegations come a month after Warner Media completed an investigation into Whedon’s behavior on the Justice League set.

The investigation was sparked by allegations made last July by actor Ray Fisher that Whedon’s « treatment of the Justice League cast and crew on set was harsh, abusive, unprofessional and completely inaccurate eptable was « .

Warner Media said that » corrective action « was taken following the investigation but the company did not provide specific information. Fisher was recently released as a cyborg from the upcoming DC movie The Flash.

Carpenter said she participated in the investigation and considers « Ray to be a person of integrity who tells the truth ». She said his shot from The Flash was « the last straw ».

« I now hope to finally be able to talk about these experiences, to make room for the healing of others who I know are similar serialized abuses of power have experienced, « she said.
