‘Justice League’ Star Ray Fisher Claims WB Boss Threatened His Career For Speaking Out

Ray Fisher is not done speaking out. The Justice League star made big news a month ago when he began to run down director Joss Whedon for “gross, abusive, unprofessional” on set during reshoots. He even threw in producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg for contributing to the corrosive work environment. Fisher doubled-down on those comments recently, adding that Whedon is “scared” to defend himself. But the exact allegations against others have been pretty vague, at least until now.

Taking to Twitter, Fisher mentions a specific attempt by Johns to quiet him as a result of his gripes about Whedon’s behavior…

We still don’t know exactly what Whedon did that set Fisher off in the first place. Others have chimed in and backed Fisher up, but the situation is cloudy and will stay that way until somebody decides to really come clean. If a legal process is involved, as Fisher has suggested, it may be a while before we learn what really happened.

Anyway, Johns is no longer a high-powered WB exec, Whedon is persona non grata just about everywhere, and Fisher’s career is looking up with the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. My, how quickly things change.
