JUSTICE LEAGUE Star Ray Fisher Says He "Will Not Relent" Against Joss Whedon, Geoff Johns, And Jon Berg

JUSTICE LEAGUE Star Ray Fisher Says He "Will Not Relent" Against Joss Whedon, Geoff Johns, And Jon Berg JUSTICE LEAGUE Star Ray Fisher Says He "Will Not Relent" Against Joss Whedon, Geoff Johns, And Jon Berg

Despite still refusing to specifics about what happened during Justice League's reshoots, star Ray Fisher has made it clear that he's not backing down from Joss Whedon, Geoff Johns, and Jon Berg.

Last month, Justice League star Ray Fisher shared a Tweet claiming that filmmaker Joss Whedon's behaviour on the set of the DC Comics movie (when he was in charge of reshoots) was "gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable." He added that producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns enabled this behaviour, though the former would later issue a denial. 

Whedon has refused to comment, while Johns has also been silent. Fisher, meanwhile, says that he intends to reveal more when he's able (NDAs are likely holding things up in that respect). 

A few days ago, Fisher reaffirmed his stance on this trio, Tweeting, "I understand full well the [personal] and professional risks associated with my speaking out against the abhorrent behavior of Joss Whedon and his enablers - Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. I will not relent. This is 'good trouble, necessary trouble.' Accountability > Entertainment."

As many people have actually pointed out on social media, if this really does boil down to Fisher being told to say "Booyah!" and Whedon not liking Zack Snyder's vision for Justice League, it's going to look like the actor is making a mountain out of a molehill (other cast members have been silent). 

We'll keep you updated.

Why would you start making accusations dependent on an NDA being in place before said NDA expires?

@tmp3 -

That's a red-herring: An NDA can't and doesn't legally stop people from talking about or reporting abusive behaviour.

If Ray Fisher has anything he should do something about it rather than make vague threats.

@JohnPain - I’m not saying he’s lying, he has literally nothing to gain from accusing someone so much more powerful than him in Hollywood, I just think it’s not helping him in the court of public opinion

@JohnPain - yeah he needs to either speak up or shut up. Seems like his vague comments might be making more people side with Whedon. Hell is vagueness is part of the reason i dont believe him. Also because i know his tv show casts have high opinions of him

@dracula - Did you just copy and paste this exact comment from this same thread, lol

@tmp3 -

My post was mostly referring to the NDA rather than whether he's lying, exaggerating or telling the truth, but yes, he's doing himself no favours by hinting at something and then pulling back from actually saying what it is. Complaining about his hairdresser doesn't really cut it with the 'norms' when he's in a high profile position.

@tmp3 - an otherwise irrelevant actor turned amateur Twitch streamer is in the news two days of the week every week, I'd say he's got attention to gain.

@tmp3 - I just want to why he's targeting Johns specifically. He seems like such a small fish in all this that a lot of the Snyder folk targeted, and nothing but nice things have been said about him by comic creators. I don't know much about Berg, but the Whedon stuff doesn't sound like anything that wasn't already public knowledge. Enabler can mean many things.

@tmp3 - personally, i think Ray feels slighted by the Joss cut and believes the Snyder cut will vindicate his 'superior' acting skills... its more than coincidental that this is all happening after the snyder cut was approved for HBO-max.
Unfortunately i think the facts speak for themselves... the 'superior' of Ray does not exist to any great extent to get him a roaring line of work outside of this movie.
While others in the movie can clearly make a paycheck and get notice in mainstream movies... Ray has not been so 'lucky'.
Is it any coincidence he plays a fractured person in JL and seems to be one in real life too?

@JonC - I'm sure Joss was an ass hole too. I doubt he was lying about that. But sometimes bosses can be dicks. It sucks but there's more important shit in life

@JohnPain - agreed. if its that bad, then quit flapping your gums and do something about it, he belongs to a union, and the company that made the film has an HR department. keep it internal and have it investigated. posting shit on the internet is like seeing people make complaints to people about how terrible conditions are yet talk to no one directly who can do something about it. We are in a day and age where all it takes is one person to make a claim and the next thing you know your career has ended and no one gave you a chance to defend yourself. Torches and pitchforks, mobbing, instead of following protocols. If anything he has tainted the investigation.

Ooh, another Fisher/Whedon article of nonsense...

Actually say what happened and then ill give a shit.
With how often he is bringing this up and how he is obviously try to provoke them, then we need the FULL story.
Not just him saying they were acting like this or that, we need to know not just half the story of how Joss may have acted. We also need to know what Fisher was doing.

If this comes down to just Fisher disagreeing with Joss on aspects of the film and refusing to do certain things like say Booya and Joss yelled at him. Then Fisher needs to grow thicker skin, you dont do your work you get reprimanded. If thats all that happened then Joss was in the right.

If something more did happen i will listen if he actually says it, depending what happened still might not agree but fine feel free to sue them.

Either way Joss’s legacy is secure and it wont stop me from enjoying Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, Doctor Horrible and soon The Nevers

I Dont care about their personal feuds 🙄 unless he did something really criminal to him to me this Is not diferent than the backstage drama behind Sex and The City and everything with Edward Norton.
dracula
dracula - 8/3/2020, 4:33 AM
@NathanielX - yeah so far all that has come out seems to be standard behind the scenes drama. So if there is a reason for him to be canceled he needs to say it, cause yeah if behind the scene disagreements are enough to cancel someone, then hollywood would probably be down to less than 100 people

The more he talks without actually saying anything, the more I believe that he just has some personal petty beef with Whedon. He clearly has learned that there are drones of people who worship him solely for being Snyder's casting choice and will eat up anything that they can use to fuel their hatred of Whedon.

Bingo! He is playing to a specific audience.

Has to be something pretty saucy, salacious and Weinstein-style career ending if Ray Fisher keeps bitching about it with all this mystery and pomp. I hope it's something like that, because if not, I hope it's HIS career that ends.
