The Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator, once an icon of Hollywood feminism, is now an outcast accused of misogyny. How did he get here?
Many fans said they are trying to reconcile accusations of misogyny against Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with their love of a show that celebrated female empowerment.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar has responded to the allegations that Joss Whedon abused his power on the sets of Buffy, its spin-off Angel, and the DC Films feature Justice League. “While I am proud to have my name associated with Buffy Summers, I don’t want to be forever associated with the name Joss Whedon,” Gellar wrote in a statement to Instagram, adding: “I stand with all survivors of abuse and am proud of them for speaking out.”
