Gal Gadot Says She Was 'Shocked' By The Way Joss Whedon Spoke To Her

Gal Gadot opened up about her allegations concerning disgraced director Joss Whedon in a new interview for Elles November issue .

The Wonder Woman star, who appears on one of several variant covers of the magazines Women in Hollywood issue, said she was shaking like a tree when she finally spoke out about Whedon and the way he allegedly treated her on the set of Justice League.

I must say that the heads of Warner Brothers, they took care of it ... Going back to the sense of righteousness that I have... youre dizzy because you cant believe this was just said to you, Gadot told Elle. And if he says it to me, then obviously he says it to many other people. I just did what I felt like I had to do. And it was to tell people that its not okay.

Gadot first came forward with her claims about the director earlier this year, during a conversation with the Israeli outlet N12 . She said that Whedon kind of threatened my career and said if I did something, he would make my career miserable. She said she handled it on the spot and took care of it.

Gadot told Elle that she wouldve done the same thing, I think, if I was a man.

Would he tell me what he told me had I been a man? I dont know. Well never know, she said. But my sense of justice is very strong. I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me. But whatever, its done. Water under the bridge.

In the same interview, Gadots Wonder Woman 1984 co-star Kristen Wiig praised the actor as someone who is very clear on what is right.

Actor Ray Fisher has also spoken out against Whedon , accusing the director of gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable conduct on Justice League as well.

Shortly after Fisher came forward, actors from Whedons series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel shared their messages of support for Fisher and their own experiences of what they described as Whedons abusive behavior.
