I ignored it when it went down, but I finally read the Wikipedia page section on Joss Whedon dealing with allegations. I wish I hadn't.

The one thing that really got me was Michelle Trachtenberg's claim that there was a standing rule on the Buffy set that Whedon couldn't be alone in a room with her.

Of all the age appropriate and seriously beautiful women that went through the Buffy and Angel sets, the one they were worried about was the kid? That kind of makes me sick.

I didn’t read it as they were worried about her in a pre-emptive way as much as they knew he was a creep and had already been out of line. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 19:19 1
- It's that he was cruel and domineering,not that he made advances. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 03:08
And stuff mention by the ex and how he responded. Lets just say there more not in the wiki. -- nm* - budice Aug 20, 19:19 1

Did it include his borderline delusional comments during his attempted apology/comeback? -- nm - David Aug 20, 19:15 4
- It just mentioned that he said Gal Gadot misunderstood him since English isn't her first language. -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 19:27 3
  - He basically argued that he had to sleep with all these women. It would have been disrespectful to them if he hadn't. -- nm - David Aug 20, 19:33 2
    - He's the world's biggest male feminist, you know. -- nm - Ender Aug 20, 21:09
    - That is .... unique -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 19:46
That made me go to her page. I didn't realize she had been in so few projects in the past eight years. -- nm - Max Aug 20, 19:12
