Charisma Carpenter's shocking social media post about her "traumatising" experiences working with Joss Whedon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel was met with messages of support from several of her costars, and when Buffy Summers actress Sarah Michelle Gellar weighed in, Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn) re-blogged her Insta-story with some disturbing details of her own.
Now, the actress has expanded on her original comments by making even more distressing implications.
Trachtenberg's original post read, "Thank you [Gellar] for saying this. I am brave enough now as a 35 year old woman.... To repost this. Because. This must. Be known. As a teenager. With his not appropriate behavior... Very. Not. Appropriate." She then went back and added, "The last. Comment I will make on this. Was. There was a rule. Saying. He's not allowed in a room alone with Michelle again."
Michelle, who was 15 when she joined the cast of Buffy during Season 5, doesn't elaborate, but her comments obviously suggest that Whedon behaved in a highly inappropriate manner, and that other members of the cast and crew were aware of it.
Whedon has yet to respond to any of these allegations, but we seriously doubt this is going to be the end of it, and wouldn't be at all surprised if more actors from his past projects come forward. We'll keep you updated.
