LOS ANGELES — Nearly a year after multiple cast members accused "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon of misconduct, Sarah Michelle Gellar opened up Wednesday about her experience working on the hit series.
At the Wrap's Power of Women Summit in Los Angeles, the 45-year-old actor contrasted her time on the hit fantasy series with more empowering work environments she's experienced on other projects. Gellar, who played the titular heroine in "Buffy," briefly spoke out against series creator Joss Whedon last year but did not elaborate then on her decision to do so after multiple cast members had accused the series creator of misconduct.
"For so long, I was on a set that I think was known for being an extremely toxic male set, and so that was ingrained in my head that that was what all sets were like, and that women were pitted against each other — that if women became friends, then we became too powerful, so you had to keep that down," Gellar said during the Power of Women event.
