Charisma Carpenter on Joss' abusive behavior
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Not surprising, but so upsetting.
It is heartbreaking. It is so difficult to come forward and expose yourself by sharing your personal trauma that way. Virtual hugs to Charisma and all those hurt this way.
I actually teared up. I am in support of Charisma and AMber, and also SMG who got so much backlash for not attending fan and JW events.
Michelle Trachtenberg and Clare Kramer have also posted briefly in support, and SMG's statement was not explicit, but made it clear she's not on Joss' side. If you can even look at these kinds of situations as having two sides.

I remember back at the time hearing about SMG getting some fan flack for not being chummier on set and just going home at the end of the day. And boy does that look different now.
Michelle Trachtenberg's statements (in addition to what Dana posted), makes me sick.

Nothing from any of the men yet. Not one word, from not one of them.
Nope. Like, I'd like to see Jane and Marti speak out (Marti did eventually say something about Matt Weiner, when his #MeToo story was out there, so she may well), but I'm sick of people asking women about men who were bad to women. Let's hear from the other men.
