Two months after coming forward about Joss Whedon’s “abusive” conduct on the set of 2017's Justice League, Ray Fisher is not backing down.
The actor, who played Cyborg in the DC superhero film, had previously alleged that the director’s “on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.” He also said that Whedon—who has a track record of fucked-up allegations to his name, in case you weren’t aware—was “enabled, in many ways, by [former DC Entertainment president] Geoff Johns and [former Warner Bros. Entertainment vice president] Jon Berg.”
Now, Deadline reports that Fisher has accused DC Films president Walter Hamada of trying to prevent him from criticizing Johns any further—even allegedly offering to throw Whedon and Berg “under the bus” if he’d stop talking about Johns.
“After speaking out about Justice League, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns,” Fisher tweeted on Friday. “I will not.”
Warner Bros. denied Fisher’s latest allegations about Hamada attempting to throw Whedon and Berg “under the bus” in a statement released Friday, per Deadline. The studio also claimed that it had hired an independent investigator to look into Fisher’s claims, but alleged that the actor had declined to speak to said investigator.
