Ray Fisher to Joss Whedon: ‘Sue Me for Slander’ if ‘Justice League’ Abuse Allegations Are Untrue
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ray-fisher-joss-whedon-sue-220949974.html
In a live panel for the independent “Justice League” fan convention JusticeCon on Saturday, actor Ray Fisher claimed that he is undergoing “a process” to get to “the heart” of his earlier allegations that director Joss Whedon engaged in “abusive, unprofessional” behavior on the set of the 2017 DC Comics adaptation.
Fisher was asked to compare working with Whedon to Zack Snyder, the original director on “Justice League” who left the film due to a family tragedy. Whedon took over directing and writing duties for extensive reshoots on the project, which opened in November 2017 to mixed-to-negative reviews and disappointing box office returns.
“I don’t want to compare them in any way, shape or form,” Fisher said. “But what I will say toward the Joss Whedon situation is obviously I put out some pretty strong words and some pretty strong comments about Joss Whedon, and every single one of those words, every single one of those comments, is true.”
Earlier this month, Fisher tweeted that Whedon’s treatment of the film’s cast and crew was “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.” Fisher also alleged that producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg “enabled” Whedon.
Fisher once again offered no specific details or independent confirmation about his claims. But he said he did not choose to make them lightly.
“It’s taken me two and a half years to get all the information I need to be able to build something that’s strong enough so people can’t dismiss it,” he said. Fisher said he spent those years approaching people to see if they would be “willing to speak” about their experiences on the film if it was “with anonymity, confidentially.”

Now he is bringing it up again and tossing 'slander' even though Whedon didn't say anything back in the first place? Sounds like sour grapes and an attention-seeking, pathetic never-was trying to be relevant.
