"Was Shaking, Dizzy": Gal Gadot Recalls How She Felt When Joss Whedon "Threatened" Her

"You're dizzy because you can't believe this was just said to you," Gal Gadot said

Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, who, earlier this year, had alleged that filmmaker Joss Whedon had "threatened" her career during the shoot of the 2017 DC film Justice League after Zack Snyder stepped down, opened up about how the filmmaker's alleged actions impacted her in a recent interview with  Elle magazine. The actress told the publication, "Oh, I was shaking trees as soon as it happened. And I must say that the heads of Warner Brothers, they took care of it... Going back to the sense of righteousness that I have... You're dizzy because you can't believe this was just said to you 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 it's not okay." Joss Wheadon's on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg.Accountability>Entertainment My truth. #IStandWithRayFisherpic.twitter.com/eNjYcJ6zwP

Gal Gadot also said during the interview that she wonders if Joss Whedon's attitude towards her might have been different if she were a man. "I would've 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 don't know. We'll never know. But my sense of justice is very strong. I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me. But whatever, it's done. Water under the bridge," she told Elle.

In an interview with Israel's N12 News in May this year, Gal Gadot said, "What I had with Joss basically is that he kind of threatened my career and said if I did something he would make my career miserable. I handled it on the spot."

A witness on the Justice League told The Hollywood Reporter, "Joss was bragging that he's had it out with Gal. He told her he's the writer and she's going to shut up and say the lines and he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie."
