Ray Fisher, who portrayed Cyborg in 2017's Justice League and later accused director Joss Whedon of misconduct and abusive on-set behavior, has posted a public response to the findings from the investigation that WarnerMedia launched based on his allegations.Fisher summarized and quoted from WarnerMedia's document and added observations of his own in a thread of three tweets.
The following was relayed to me on behalf of @WarnerMedia at 5pm EST today," he wrote, following it with the bulletpoints, "The investigation of Justice League is now complete," and "It has lead to remedial action." Fisher made a parenthetical remark on the "remedial action," saying, "Some we’ve seen, and some that is still to come."
He then included a quote from the document: "WarnerMedia appreciates you having the courage to come forward and assist the company with creating an inclusive and equitable work environment for it’s employees and partners." Fisher said that this statement "truly belongs to ALL who participated in the investigation."
Although Fisher's tone indicated that he was satisfied with the conclusion of the investigation, he added in his third tweet, "There are still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found. Thank you all for your support and encouragement on this journey." He finished by saying, "We are on our way. More soon," and with the abbreviation "A>E", meaning "Accountability is greater than entertainment."
Fisher has been rallying for an investigation of Whedon's on-set behavior since July, and has also called out producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, claiming that they were enablers. Since his initial allegations, some of Fisher's co-stars have also spoken up to support him.
Joss Whedon took over as director for Justice League after the original director, Zack Snyder, stepped down due to a family tragedy. Fans soon began to petition for a release of the "Snyder Cut," which is now in production under the title of Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Justice League stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere exclusively on HBO Max in 2021.
