Charisma Carpenter has another high-profile co-star in her corner.
“Bring It On” star Eliza Dushku is the latest “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum who expressed her support for Carpenter, 50, who claimed Wednesday that Buffy creator Joss Whedon, 56, she may have abused and an “Increasingly volatile work environment.”
“CC, my heart aches for you and I’m so sorry you kept it up for so long,” Dushku, who is no stranger to workplace harassment, wrote on Instagram. “Your message was powerful, painful and painted a picture we will never see or deny together.”
Dushku played a rogue vampire killer Faith opposite Carpenter’s Cordelia Chase on both ‘Buffy’ and his spinoff ‘Angel’. She joins a growing list of “Buffy” veterinarians – including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg, Amber Benson and Emma Caulfield – to support social media and tells Carpenter: “I admire, respect and love your.”
The 40-year-old actresses “Tru Calling” and “Dollhouse” have previously experienced toxic workplaces. In 2018, Dushku claims that Joel Kramer, stunt coordinator of the “True Lies”, sexually abused her when she was 12 years old.
Then the same year that Dushku was revealed, the bomb report secretly paid $ 9.5 million in 2018 by CBS for the allegations that she took revenge and wrote off ‘Bull’ after she complained about alleged sexual harassment by the leader Michael Weatherly on the set.
“I often think of the saying ‘we are as sick as our secrets’,” Dushku continued in her post. ‘Our secrets indeed make and keep us sick. What I am learning more and more – and what I personally have found most valuable – is that profound healing can only come from naming and announcing what really happened, the necessary first step (once someone is ready) to free ourselves from us secret, untold truths that kept us isolated, ashamed and held hostage. ”
Carpenter quoted Ray Fisher’s inconspicuous shooting as Cyborg flickering from the upcoming ‘The Flash’ as the catalyst for her outcome against Whedon. The ‘Justice League’ actor accused his director of being ‘rude, insulting, unprofessional and completely unacceptable’ to him and others on the set of the Warner Bros. superhero movie. The 33-year-old actor tweeted Carpenter’s emotional message again, calling her ‘one of the bravest people I know’.
Carpenter and Fisher’s allegations contribute to Trachtenberg’s allegations by Whedon against the then teenager on the set of ‘Buffy’ about ‘inappropriate behavior’, and that there was a rule that he should not be allowed back into a room alone does not become ‘.
Reps for Whedon – who divorced HBO’s ‘The Nevers’ in November, did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
