Sarah Michelle Gellar thought the set of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ was a terrible workplace: ‘All the women are pitted against each other’ | Famous People

The American actress spoke, among other things, about the “hostile” behavior behind the scenes. Gellar also claims that the women who starred in the series were “pitted against each other.” “In the end it was in my head that it was like this everywhere. And that if women stood up for each other or if we became friends, we became too strong and had to be oppressed.”

In the end, Sarah Michelle Gellar learned that things could be done differently. Little by little, the actresses have been able to make a name for themselves in the world of film and television. “In the meantime, I’ve had the opportunity to not only work with more women, but also with more men who support women.” “Now I realize how easy it is,” she continues.

In the past, the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actress also spoke about Joss Whedon, the creator of the series. Gellar said she’s proud to have appeared on the series for so many years, but she doesn’t like being associated with Whedon. “I stand with everyone who has experienced some form of abuse in the past and I am proud of them for speaking out.”

The actress’ statement at the time followed a message from her former co-star, Charisma Carpenter. Carpenter has accused the showrunner of “abuse of power” on her social media. He also called her “fat” when she was pregnant. “Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions,” Charisma said. “While he found his misbehavior amusing, it only heightened my fear of failure, of stripping me of my power and alienating me from my peers.” “The aforementioned incidents caused a chronic physical condition that still haunts me,” she continues. Whedon himself continues to vigorously deny the allegations against him.
