Sarah Michelle Gellar is perhaps best known for her role as Buffy Summers in the cult-classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer. However, it appears that things weren’t so great on the set of the hit show. Many claims of misconduct and abuse have come out against the creator and executive producer Joss Whedon.

After Joss addressed the allegations, Sarah shared her own statement about the situation. Her former co-stars Charisma Carpenter, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Amber Benson have all accused Joss of misconduct on the set.

Joss addressed the allegations in a profile for New York Magazine’s Vulture. He said, “I was young. I yelled, and sometimes you had to yell. This was a very young cast, and it was easy for everything to turn into a cocktail party. If I am upsetting somebody, it will be a problem for me.” He also admitted to feeling “terrible” about having affairs during his marriage to his now ex-wife Kai Cole.
