Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally opening up about her negative experiences on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer set.
The Cruel Intentions star appeared at TheWrap’s Power of Women Summit in Los Angeles Wednesday, where she spoke at the Power of Storytelling: Producers Roundtable. It was here she finally spoke out on the now infamous “toxic” work environment show creator Joss Whedon allegedly cultivated. Without naming names, she painted an all-too-clear picture:
Yep, that unfortunately sounds about right for what we’ve heard about Buffy, sadly — a show that was all about female empowerment was infamously about the opposite behind the scenes. SMG continued:
We’re glad things are better — but as she points out, Hollywood is far from being fixed.

This marks the first time Sarah herself has spoken out. In 2020, Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in the Justice League movie, accused Joss of “gross, abusive, unprofessional” behavior on the set of that film. Joss took over directing duties for following Zack Snyder’s family tragedy. You may remember a WarnerMedia investigation was opened, and Sarah’s Buffy co-star Charisma Carpenter eventually got involved in February of 2021.
Her problems with the showrunner were legendary, and when she finally gave them voice, she buried him. She accused him of “hostile and toxic behavior” on set of the iconic show, as well as its spinoff, Angel. She said at the time:
Yeah, we know… Disturbing stuff. And other Buffy alums showed their support, with Michelle Trachtenberg even claiming there was a rule she wasn’t allowed to be alone in a room with the screenwriter. Oof.
Sarah followed up with an Instagram post of her own
