WarnerMedia released a statement about the ongoing investigation involving Joss Whedon‘s treatment of cast and crew on the set of Justice League.
Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg, first brought the claims to light earlier this year, accusing the director of racism and verbal abuse, among other things.
“Prior to Justice League’s reshoot process, blatantly racist conversations were had and entertained—on multiple occasions—by former and current top level executives at Warner Bros. Pictures,” Ray had stated. “Decision-makers that participated in those racist conversations were Geoff Johns, Jon Berg, and current Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich.”
Ray‘s co-star Jason Momoa also supported the claims in multiple social media posts.
Now, WarnerMedia sent out an alert to Ray and other members of press about the investigation probe.
The following was relayed to me on behalf of @WarnerMedia at 5pm EST today:
- The investigation of Justice League is now complete.
- It has lead to remedial action.

There are still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement on this journey.
We are on our way.
More soon.
