Charisma hit the headlines when allegations of toxic behaviour by Buffy creator Joss Whedon emerged in 2021.
The actress claiming he called her ‘fat’ when she was pregnant during the fourth season of Angel and said he asked if she was planning on keeping her baby.
Whedon stated in an interview with New York Magazine that: ‘I did not call her fat. Most of my experiences with Charisma were delightful and charming.’
She responded by calling Whedon a ‘tyrannical narcissistic boss’ while defending both Ray Fisher and Gal Gadot who also accused him of toxic behaviour.
Justice League actor Ray first came forward in 2020 with allegations of toxic behavior from Whedon on the set of 2017’s Justice League that were echoed by many in the months and weeks that followed.
Charisma came forward with a lengthy statement in February 2021 where she said Whedon ‘abused his power’ on multiple occasions.
She claimed that he made her come in to work at 1am after her doctor requested her work hours be reduced while she was pregnant and claimed he has, ‘created hostile and toxic work environments since his early career.’

After Whedon’s response to Charisma’s allegations, the actress took to Twitter to denounce the assertion in the New York Magazine profile that Fisher was manipulated by Justice League director Zack Snyder into making the allegations against Whedon, and that Fisher somehow manipulated Charisma into coming forward herself.
She wrote: ‘#IStandWithRayFisher The ‘malevolent force’ and ‘bad actor in both senses’ who poisoned my feeble mind with trendy buzzwords and corrupt ideas about my experiences with a former tyrannical narcissistic boss who is still unable to be accountable and just apologize.’
Fisher retweeted her and added an excerpt from Lila Shapiro’s profile that claimed some of Whedon’s defenders believed Fisher’s campaign, ‘had poisoned Carpenter against Whedon, causing her to see the complicated story of their relationship as a simplistic narrative of abuse.’
