JUSTICE LEAGUE Actor Ray Fisher Accuses James Gunn Of "Fake Grace" After Joss Whedon Tweet Deletion

It seems it's not just Joss Whedon and the old Warner Bros. guard that Ray Fisher has a problem with! The Justice League actor has just sent out a response to James Gunn's series of Tweets. Updated...

Guess Ray Fisher still hasn't received that apology from Walter Hamada!

Earlier tonight, recently-appointed DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn shared a series of Tweets addressing the negative (and outright abusive) feedback he's received since making some pretty controversial decisions regarding the future of the new DC Universe. Now, Fisher has responded by bringing up an exchange he had with the filmmaker back in January of this year.

The Justice League actor asked Gunn to offer an explanation for a Tweet from Alan Tudyk, who worked with Joss Whedon on Firefly and Serenity, which The Suicide Squad director "liked." Gunn then apologized for weighing in on a situation he "knew nothing about," but Fisher has now called him out for deleting said Tweet.

"The way James Gunn uses fake grace on Twitter is really funny," Fisher wrote. "Him going to bat for Joss Whedon, pseudo-apologizing for it, and then deleting it immediately before taking his new DC job is not. Refusing to apologize for toxic behavior seems to be a job requirement for WB/DC."

In case you're unaware of the history here, Fisher accused Whedon, Geoff Johns and others of unprofessional and abusive behaviour on the set of Justice League, and Hamada of covering up for and enabling them. An investigation was conducted which came to nothing (though Fisher has his own thoughts on why that is), but the actor clearly has zero intention of letting it go.

It should be noted that Fisher is far from the only one to level these type of allegations at the Avengers director. In fact, he's been accused of doing a lot worse by several members of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast.

UPDATE: Gunn has responded with the following.

@ShamusG - he was pretty great as Cyborg in ZSJL so I hope they’re not up but I do agree that he needs to just move on.

I usually defend Ray because he called out some things that in one way or another proved to be true … but come on man. Just leave it.

@TheLobster - Yeah, even taking the most pro-Ray perspective you can, why does he post his own reply at the time telling Gunn thank you for apologizing? Why is he bringing it up now if it wasn't settled?

@DalekCraigWasson - Rereading, I guess the reason is to show that the tweet was deleted? That makes more sense, but a) Gunn said last month all his X months old tweets automatically delete, and b) calling it a "pseudo-apology" now while also showing you thank him just looks hypocritical.

It's like the Comic Con panel where he praised Joss Whedon and later said he was lying. Whedon was terrible to him, I'm not disputing that, but I don't remember any of the other actors on the panel making up false quotes about how much they enjoyed Joss Whedon.

I may be wrong, but this Gunn thing gives me the impression of friends I have who will look you in the eye, say it's all good and what's past is past, and then bring past drama again over the slightest disagreement, lol.

Does this guy ever shut the [frick] up? Jesus. The fact that he has now even turned most of the people who supported him against him is pretty telling. Just constantly feeling aggrieved by everyone.
