Charisma Carpenter on Wednesday posted a lengthy message on social media in which she accused Joss Whedon of "hostile and toxic" behavior on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff, Angel. "For nearly two decades, I have held my tongue and even made excuses for certain events that traumatize me to this day," she began. "Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions while working together on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel," she wrote of the show creator. "The disturbing incidents triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer. It is...

It’s a sad existence when you can’t even let go of political divides on a holiday like the Fourth of July. For many leftists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome though, holidays usually only crank the political divisiveness up to 11. “Avengers” director and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon took to Twitter on America’s Independence Day and decided to do what Hollywood celebrities typically do best when it comes to politics — spread fear and misinformation. “We have a racist, fascist president who’s using armed thugs in law enforcement & illegal militias to keep us cowed & hopeless &...

“He used his relationship with me as a shield … so no one would question his relationships with other women or scrutinize his writing as anything other than feminist,” she writes

Hollywood's biggest stars are back, begging you to support the Blue Wave. But is anyone watching them? We’re days before another major election, so you know what that means. Hollywood stars shooting celebrity PSAs to boost the proverbial “Blue Wave.” Only the results this time around are far from viral. The star-studded “Save the Day” video, dropped weeks before the 2016 presidential election, drew massive views. Today, the number stands at more than 8 million, a figure likely amassed during that year’s campaign. The clip, directed by Joss Whedon, featured some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Scarlett Johansson Robert Downey, Jr....

Avengers’ director Joss Whedon suffers from the all-too-common mental disorder known popularly as Trump Derangement Syndrome. The condition is not yet part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but it’s symptoms are depressingly evident. But Whedon acts as a sort of poster boy for both the disorder, and the attendant philosophic descent of modern liberalism. Whedon, who comes from a family of wealth, grew up in Manhattan and went to high school at an elite all-boys school in England. He attended Connecticut’s pricey, private liberal arts school, Wesleyan University. He’s lived and swam in Hollywood circles for...

If you're looking for the bad guy in the Avengers movie, check behind the camera. Director Joss Whedon may not be part of the cast, but based on his Twitter account, he's a pretty convincing villain in real life. This week, after a year and a half of vile anti-Trump rants, the Hollywood liberal finally took it too far. "Die, Don," he tweeted.Even for Whedon, who's used to creating drama, it was a sinister turn. The man who shocked everyone last year by posting that he's "grateful" his mom has "the gift" of death so that she doesn't have to...

Hollywood director Joss Whedon took to Twitter late Tuesday and wished for President Donald Trump to “quietly die.” “Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches,” Whedon wrote. “He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia,” the Avengers director wrote. “My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.”

The Bat signal is being dimmed … for now. Joss Whedon is saying goodbye to DC Entertainment heroine Batgirl. Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer among other pop culture touchstones, is exiting the Warner Bros. feature project, which he was writing and was slated to direct. "Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn't have a story," Whedon on Thursday told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. Referring to DC president Geoff Johns and Warner Bros. Picture Group president Toby Emmerich, he added,...

Five years ago at the Democratic National Convention, I went to a Planned Parenthood rally, where one speaker was TV actress Lisa Edelstein. “Do not go to the polls alone,” she told us. “Drag somebody, if she’s a woman especially, because those women are going to vote for Obama—if they know what’s good for them.” Edelstein is hardly the only Hollywood figure to make the case that liberal policies are crucial to women’s happiness and welfare. Yet, with the media still reeling from the revelations about powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s behavior toward women, it’s time to examine both the...

Creator of Buffy, Firefly, Dollhouse, writer/director of the Avengers movies, and creator of comic books Fray and Sugarshock, Joss Whedon, has been accused by his ex-wife, Kai Cole of a series of infidelities throughout their marriage, often with people working on his films and TV shows, starting with Buffy, and as a result being a hypocrite “preaching feminist ideals” While Whedon had established himself as a feminist icon with the TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer...he’d had several affairs with “actresses, co-workers, fans and friends” and kept them secret over fifteen years.... On-line reaction has been swift, and mixed, some...

From actor Chris Evans (Captain America) to director Joss Whedon, the Marvel Comics franchise is committing harikari in the most unbecoming of ways: through unapologetic, partisan bashing of a democratically elected president they can’t stand. Evans has expressed deep contempt for what he considers to be in the ignorant masses of Americans that voted Donald Trump into the White House. These are, however, the very masses that make up the core viewership of Marvel’s superhero movies. “People were just so desperate to hear someone say that someone is to blame,” Evans said in a recent interview with Esquire magazine. “They...

Hollywood director Joss Whedon faced heat on Twitter Thursday after he sexualized and mocked a meeting between Paul Ryan and a group of young cancer survivors. “Tonight on White House Wife Hunt, Donny makes host P. Ryan give 2 more contestants the ‘Not a 10’ card,” wrote Whedon on Twitter, along with the picture of the meeting that shows two young girls with Ryan.

<p>Remember earlier this week when actress Nicole Kidman was the voice of reason in Hollywood by saying everyone has to accept that Donald Trump is president and support him? Well, liberal writer/director Joss Whedon kind of took her advice. Instead of going after Trump with rage and tears he turned his hurt feelings on Speaker of The House Paul Ryan, hoping he would be f*cked to death by a rhino. After falling into a creative glut for years, Hollywood is once again entertaining us.</p>

Whatever side of the political divide you fall on, there’s a good chance you’ll agree with me when I say that this has been a pretty bizarre election cycle...Now, a new team of celebrities, not-so-famous celebrities, and ordinary citizens have banded together for the “Save the Day” campaign, a Super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton that encourages people to register and vote.

Director Joss Whedon has deleted his Twitter account, following criticism of his latest film, Age of Ultron. Its portrayal of female characters such as assassin Black Widow by Scarlett Johannsson had been called sexist. Comic-book fans had also criticised Marvel's Avengers superhero film's plot, on the social network. Immediately prior to deleting his account, Whedon tweeted: "Thank you to all the people who've been so kind and funny and inspiring up in here".

If you’ve been watching since last Tuesday you’ve probably already noticed that some on the left aren’t coming to terms with Trump’s election very well. In fact, there is a contingent on the left that seems to be spiraling up it’s rhetoric rather than winding it down. Case in point, director Joss Whedon put out this tweet today: Follow Joss Whedon ✔ @joss This is simple: Trump cannot CANNOT be allowed a term in office. It's not about 2018. It's about RIGHT NOW

Susan Sarandon, Olivia Wilde and Edward Norton are among the more than 90 entertainers urging Sen. Elizabeth Warren to throw her hat in the 2016 presidential race. The group — which also includes Mark Ruffalo, Natasha Lyonne, Julia Stiles, and “The Avengers” director Joss Whedon — penned an open letter this week to the Massachusetts Democrat, pushing her to make a White House bid.

“Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” (Tuesdays at 8): From Joss Whedon; with Clark Gregg back in his role as Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films, he leads a small group of agents from a worldwide law-enforcement organization.

So says the guy probably worth somewhere around a gajillion dollars and who likely made somewhere around a thousand times more money from "Avengers" than anyone on the crew. But Whedon's obviously talking about socialism for, you know, other people: “We are watching capitalism destroy itself right now,” [Whedon] told the audience. He added that America is “turning into Tsarist Russia” and that “we’re creating a country of serfs.” Whedon was raised on the Upper Westside neighborhood of Manhattan in the 1970s, an area associated with left-leaning intellectuals. He said he was raised by people who thought socialism was a...
