Actress Charisma Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase in the hit series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and spinoff "Angel," released an extensive statement Wednesday detailing the alleged abuse she endured from series creator and director, Joss Whedon. In the post shared to Carpenter's Twitter and Instagram accounts, she recounted the "hostile and toxic" workplace Whedon's behavior created. "Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions while working together on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel," Carpenter wrote. Michelle Trachtenberg, who portrayed Buffy's younger sister Dawn, reposted Gellar's statement to her own Instagram adding that Whedon's behavior was "not appropriate" for when she was a teenager.
