Fisher Responds to Warner Bros Volley
Actor Ray Fisher is pushing back against an earlier public statement from Warner Bros which alleged the actor "declined to speak to," their investigator. Fisher took to twitter to state that he did, in fact, have a Zoom meeting with the investigator. He Further published an August 26th email to his "crew" sent immediately after the call detailing what happened.
The email doesn't entirely refute the studio's account of things, as it sounds like the actor became uncomfortable with the circumstances of the call and ended it before any actual details about the alleged "gross, abusive" conduct were disclosed.
The actor also posted a video stream from August 21 where he addressed his fans directly and expressed his skepticism over the investigation.
Based on his twitter posts, it appears Fisher thinks he's on some sort of #metoo-esque mission, but has yet to actually enunciate any specifics about the "abuse" suffered on the set of Justice League.
Warner Bros Responds to Ray Fisher Complaints
Actor Ray Fisher, who is known as Cyborg in the Justice League movie, has publicly aired grievances with fill-in director Joss Whedon, and later against producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns. The grievances came in the form of vague twitter posts alleging "gross, abusive" conduct by Whedon and enablement of abuse by the producers, whom he complained to.
Warner Bros responded publicly to the situation yesterday. Their rebuttal statement indicates that Fisher's complaint are largely about creative differences where the actor was unhappy with his character's depiction in the movie, and with the way his creative suggestions were met (or ignored). In spite of a lack off specific allegations of actual misconduct, the studio launched an investigation. However, according to the statement, Fisher has refused to cooperate or even speak with the investigator about the nature of his allegations that "gross, abusive" conduct occurred.
The studios' full statement, as well as a detailed accounting of Fisher's public statements, can be found on Deadline.
