Warner Bros. Says Ray Fisher Not Cooperating with 'Justice League' Investigation - Fisher Responds

Warner Bros. has accused Justice League actor Ray Fisher of not cooperating with a misconduct investigation and backed its DC Films president Walter Hamada in a statement late Friday night.
Fisher, who played Cyborg in the 2017 movie, had previously alleged misconduct by filmmaker Joss Whedon and producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns on set. While Fisher has not revealed specifics, the studio did launch an investigation earlier in the summer.
On Monday, Fisher tweeted that Hamada "attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns." Johns is a star DC Comics writer and is currently basking in the strong reviews and even stronger sales of the first issue of his latest work, Three Jokers.
In a statement, a studio spokesperson defended Hamada, saying, "At no time did Mr. Hamada ever 'throw anyone under the bus,' as Mr. Fisher has falsely claimed, or render any judgments about the Justice League production, in which Mr. Hamada had no involvement since filming occurred before Mr. Hamada was elevated to his current position."
The studio also stated that Fisher has so far refused to cooperate with the investigation, noting that "to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator."
This is the latest in a back-and-forth between the actor and the studio that began on July 1, when Fisher tweeted that filmmaker Whedon's "on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable." (Whedon took over directing duties on Justice League after Zack Snyder stepped away from the project in 2017.) Fisher went on to allege that producers Johns and Berg had enabled the filmmaker and his alleged behavior.
