Sarah Michelle Gellar slammed Joss Whedon for his Buffy the Vampire Slayer set.

Gellar, 45, spoke out about her experience working on the hit show on Wednesday.

While speaking at the Power of Storytelling: Producers Roundtable during TheWrap’s Power of Women Summit in Los Angeles, she opened up about the set environment series director Joss Whedon created.

Sarah, who played the titular Buffy Summers on the show, claimed the set for Buffy was infamous in the industry for discrimination at the time of the series’ production.

“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,” the actress began, via TheWrap. “And now that I’ve had this opportunity to work with so many more women and men that support women as well, I realised how easy an experience it can be, but… unfortunately we’re still in that place where all of those departments a lot of times need to be women for us to have a voice.”

Sarah’s Buffy co-star Charisma Carpenter accused Joss in February 2021 of “hostile and toxic behaviour” on the sets of the show and its spinoff Angel.

At the time, she also revealed that she was participating in WarnerMedia’s investigation into the director’s behaviour on the set of Justice League.
