Avengers director Joss Whedon has had a bad reputation in Hollywood for being hard to work with and over the last couple of years, the director's shocking misbehavior has been exposed by the actors whom he worked closely with, most notably Justice League stars Ray Fisher and Gal Gadot. For years now, there have been persistent rumors swirling all over the internet that the Wonder Woman actress was also a victim of Whedon's on-set abuse.
For a time, however, it seemed like Gal wasn't that open to talk about her working experience with Whedon which is quite understandable. She once confirmed her horrific experience working with Whedon but chose not to go into detail. Now, she's once again breaking her silence regarding the matter and this time around, she has more to tell. In an interview with Elle, the Israeli actress revealed that she told WB about Joss' threats and quickly took action.
She said: "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."

It's pretty understandable how Gadot chose to leave the issue unaddressed for years. I mean, for all we know, she may have experienced quite the trauma out of it but it's great that she's now more open to talking about it. I also gotta commend Warner Bros. for coming to Gadot's aid because frankly, it's their duty to protect their actors. I only wish they would've done the same with Fisher but it is what it is.
Meanwhile, Gal Gadot is set to return as Diana Prince for Wonder Woman 3.
