Harry Lennix weighs in on the Joss Whedon scandal: 'I think maybe we should give [Joss] another chance to respond... Not minimizing anybody’s story, not minimizing the experiences others had in any way. But I believe that we must learn to reconcile.'

by Ray Fisher that Whedon engaged in “abusive” and “unprofessional” behavior while working on “Justice League,” Lennix had a few things to say.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what I found out. I don’t think there was any sort of advanced word. There are a lot of people who intuited it somehow, like fans bouncing that idea around. So I don’t know if somebody knew about it outside of Zack before that. But I did not know until I saw that storyboard.No, he did not. From time to time, you know, Zack will text me things or email me things. I’ve certainly done projects with him, such as “Army of the Dead,” and I knew that was coming.

Yes, that’s true. And I think to some extent, that is what has sort of started the speculation [about Martian Manhunter], that Swanwick didn’t shrink away after Superman rather nonchalantly takes his handcuffs off and walks up to the window. This is now getting on to about nine years ago that we shot that scene. I think I asked Zack the question, “Am I going to shrink back here?” Because I’m a general, I’ve obviously faced danger.

You said elsewhere that you would love for there to be a Martian Manhunter movie. Have you heard anything at all from Warner Bros. on that on that front?The reason there’s a Snyder Cut is because Zack was replaced by Joss Whedon on the movie. As you know, Ray Fisher has alleged that Joss engaged in misconduct during the shoot.

“It’S a PiPe DrEAm” that’s you.

Adam Vary needs to stop attempting to wash away an abuser's sins because he is a sycophant fanboy of a celebrity. It is gross and disgusting. Shame on you!

What’s the problem here? He can’t lie about what he saw or didn’t see but is still backing up the accusers.

IStandWithRayFisher

His ass is saying ALL the wrong shit lmfao does this man have an agent who can stop him from talking?

We get it, Adam. You love Joss Whedon. It doesn’t mean he is any less of an abuser.

IStandWithRayFisher - the dipshit who wrote this article is defending an abuser. Well done for trying to use and stir shit againstray8fisher and Harry Lennox. Was Lennox even filming with Joss?

Just because he didn't see doesn't mean it didn't happen!!!!! istandwithrayfisher

IStandWithRayFisher

AlanTudyk I hope you apologize to Ray Fisher for you acting like he was a liar.

Reporter Adam Vary is on a mission to shield an abuser in Joss Whedon from the consequences of his actions by using a Black Man against another. Variety you are disgusting!

Why do you guys keep tweeting this? Rest of his comments are ridiculous and why victims don’t come forward.

'I think maybe we should give [Joss Whedon] another chance to respond,' Nobody's stopping him.

This is disgusting, trying to use Harry Lennix to push a certain agenda. Don’t misunderstand Harry Lennix and create a false narrative. Isn’t the article writer friends with that creep Joss Whedon? Shooot I wonder why he’s trying to push that certain agenda.

Lol article author

AlanTudyk You owe so many people an apology Alan. You should be ashamed.

AlanTudyk This man was disallowed from being alone with a 14 year old girl. Fuck off with this Alan...this is some bullshit.

Has... has someone been keeping J*$$ from speaking up for the last year?

And what’s stopping him? He could send out a tweet just like you did

smdh

AlanTudyk Well, this is massively disappointing.

seeing comments like this always makes me wonder if said commenter is guilty of the same shit

Bye Harry.

AlanTudyk No.

AlanTudyk I agree not as a fan which I am of his work but of what he has done outside of cinema and tv with the Equality Now charity

Oof. Nope.

AlanTudyk No. Absolutely not.

AlanTudyk Respectfully, 'moving on' should be a choice for the victims to make, not someone who wasn't there, didn't see anything and can't imagine it could possibly happen.

So far Ray has proved nothing of what he said, he is using the experiences of others in his favor, I want to know when he will show everything he has gathered to bring down Hamada and others, but I think it will never happen

AlanTudyk Really, Alan? Really? Thanks for letting us know you're an abuser apologist, I guess. Unfollowing. IStandWithRayFisher IStandWithCharismaCarpenter

AlanTudyk Has anyone had a toxic boss? None of the statements made against JW came w/ proof but so many of us deal w/ far worse & holding on IS NOT healthy. I'd rather see JW address it but not for more fans of the actors to ATTACK & spew venom because it's not ABOUT them.

There was a rule on the buffy set that he was not to be left alone with the teenage actress 😒 The writer of this article has set out to discredit Ray in favour of Joss and now he’s exploiting Harry’s ignorance. Pathetic.

Pretty gross 🤮🤢 Adam Vary using HarryJLennix as a prop in his schemes to discredit ray8fisher and shield Joss Whedon from accountability

The writer of this disgusting article has been on a campaign to discredit ray8fisher and absolve Joss Whedon from any repercussions. I wonder why 🤔 ...

Innocent till proven guilty...how about we hear his side before painting him as a villain

AlanTudyk

Yes 🙌🏽

Oh he shouldn’t have said that. Has he never heard of the internet?

No.

AlanTudyk Move on? For who

Nah bro, this ain’t it! He’s trash! The kind of trash that doesn’t deserve more chances!

AlanTudyk This... this is up there with the bad takes and that’s saying something.

Pathetic.

First should be acknowledgement, then apology, taking responsibility, and restitution. Has Joss done any of this? No hard work to earn back our respect and trust? Then NO. Moving on is the last step, not the first.

AlanTudyk Let's be clear. We've heard from Kai, James, Ray, Jason, Jeff P, Sophia, Charisma, Sarah, Michelle, Amber, Eliza, Emma, Julie, Tom, Adam, Amy, Danny, David, Jeff M, Nicholas, and Anthony. Joss doesn't have a 'side of the story' cos it isn't a story -- it's a pattern of behavior.

AlanTudyk I don't think Harry Lennix has kept up with the news and all the people that have come forward. Either that or he is fine with abusive standards. IStandWithRayFisher IStandWithCharismaCarpenter

Move on ? Easy for him to say....I do think we should always hear both sides.

I guess that joss and WB are using harry j lennix to defend their actions. Fire Emmerich and hamada too. IStandWithRayFisher att jasonkilar WarnerMedia

AlanTudyk

Also, perhaps there's something specific I haven't heard about? I do know there was major friction over Charisma's pregnancy, and he was pretty awful to her about it. Is there something specific? I think perhaps I'm the only person in the world who hasn't heard specifics.

AlanTudyk If I've learned anything, it's that interpersonal relationships are complex, and to listen to, and immediately 100% believe one side, or one perspective can be a mistake. I found Charisma's essay impassioned, but also (to my little brain) vague. I feel I can't condemn Joss on it.

AlanTudyk Has anyone from 'Firefly' or 'Serenity' chimed in?

AlanTudyk It’s really gross you retweeted this Alan, people like you are why victims don’t forward. He’s your friend so it couldn’t possibly happen, right? MeToo movement is about believing woman (and men). Disappointed you don’t support that.

AlanTudyk Hey man, this is a bad take and you've retweeted it twice without comment. Do you agree with Harry? Because it's really not up to anyone but those who suffered at Joss' hands to say anything about forgiveness...

No. Thank u next.

Maybe because there ISN’T another side to tell... Chance to respond is most definitely not for you to say..

AlanTudyk Real gross Alan. I didn't think following you would lead to this kind of abuse apologist bs on my timeline, but here we are. He's had time to respond. This isn't a 'both sides' of the story thing either. This is a Joss vs almost everyone who ever worked on buffy and angel.

AlanTudyk So why isn't he repentant or vocal and shouting from the rooftops, like an innocent person? He could come forward at any time and would have a captive audience.

No

Look, guys, you can’t sell me MORE on the Snyder cut. I’m already in, way in.

Bad take

For someone who says they’re not trying to minimise the pain a survivor has endured, he certainly knows how to twist the knife. Joss has had time to respond. He hasn’t.

AlanTudyk Hey Alan I know he’s like your bud or whatever but maybe you need to reflect on what that means and hold him accountable :’)

We know the MF who wrote this article. He is technically Joss Whedons Bitch

AlanTudyk

AlanTudyk Oooooh 😳🤯 I see it and I love it! HarryJLennix you’re gonna slay it. DCComics DCComicsOnFilm ZackSnyder don’t F this up, please.

AlanTudyk No I think accountability and an apology might actually be in order here. Lol. (This ain’t it man)

Harry Lennix- Bruh

AlanTudyk I’m fine I’d he wants to speak up and give his side but a pattern of shitty behavior... not much he can do but apologize.

AlanTudyk What the fuck, Alan?

AlanTudyk Please don’t.

AlanTudyk 😬

well, being a dick isn't a crime. should he take some heat? yes. should he be black listed? well, if we're making lists of artists who are dicks who should be blacklisted, we're going to be here for a while.

The cowardice...

IStandWithRayFisher

“I know like 15 people from different franchises have alleged problematic work place behavior and serious allegations but whaddya say, let’s give him just one more chance go speak! Pweaseeee 🥺🙏🏽🤧” Weak

no ❤️ IStandWithRayFisher

WTF? This ant it Chief!

How about we “move on” with accountability? Hate that phrase. It’s always spoken by the perpetrator and their enablers, it disgusts me.

Nope.

“Not minimizing the experiences others had in any way” pretty sure that’s exactly what you’re doing. People like him are why victims don’t come forward.

IStandWithRayFisher

Umm no thanks

Cancel Harry too!!! Purge!!!

That’s exactly why abusers stay employed in Hollywood for decades like

Whedon has had plenty of time to respond but he simply has nothing to say because he knows he's in the wrong. Anothrr chance? Piss off.

You can't fool us with this nonsense. Nice try enabling abusers and evil men. This is the 'journalist' who concocted this gross article, using HarryJLennix as a tool:

This is known as, 'lick the **** clean! Harry Linnyx. YOU will be in this A-HOLE's next show!!! How does corruption keep going in Los Angeles? Looking the other way..., and vouching for criminals!!!

when did Joss say anything at all?

Ah, an old school tactic of pitting black against black for whitey. No qualms, I don't think your plan would go the way U think. 2 key things here are: -Joss has had multiple chances to respond (and still does) but nil - no public attempts to amend, seen from the abusive party.

I see this reporter is using Harry Lennix to absolve Whedon. Gross

The problem is that Joss is hiding and won't say shit

Well since he apparently has compounding instances I think people are past the “second chance.” Phase.

🤔interesting

Yikes.

Oh well that sucks for Lennix. The woke mob will be coming for him next.

Bless you Harry... someone involved FINALLY bringing common sense to it all. Apologies in advance for Ray8Fisher and Borglife as they will likely bully you 🤦🏻‍♂️
