Yeah, he's probably going to have to wait a couple of years and then do the "I'm better now" interview. And even then his ceiling is probably TV showrunner, I doubt he'll ever direct a tentpole movie again.

It's one thing when a guy like Ray Fisher, who's basically a complete unknown, hurls nasty allegations towards Whedon but it's something completely different when Charisma Carpenter and Sarah Michelle Gellar make allegations, especially when they're backed by all-around good guy, David Boreanaz.

The thing that bothers me is that none of the accusations other than Charisma's have been more specific than 'he's an asshole', and the Charisma story has been publicly known for years (and while Whedon handled it badly by all accounts, there is more context from his side of it). SMG and Boreanaz's statements were really more statements of support for Charisma than calling out Whedon.
