   ‘Buffy, the Vampire Slayer’ Star Charisma Carpenter Shares Positive   
   Memories of Show After Coming Forward About Joss Whedon   
       
      
   Charisma Carpenter played Cordelia Chase on Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. After   
   three seasons in Sunnydale, Cordelia moved to Los Angeles where she was a star   
   on the spinoff series Angel. Angel wrote Cordelia out of the show in season 4.   
   On Feb. 10,    
   Carpenter posted a description of her experiences with Joss Whedon including   
   what led to her firing.    
      
   Buffy and Angel costars have come out in support of Carpenter. However, her   
   negative experiences with Whedon didn’t sour all her memories. Carpenter   
   shared some of the happy times in a recent interview with Michael Rosenbaum   
   for his Inside of You    
   podcast.   
      
   Carpenter posted two screenshots of a statement on Feb. 10. The details of her   
   time on Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Angel took two screens to cover. In the   
   statements, Carpenter detailed abusive comments Whedon made about her weight,   
   and her pregnancy.    
   She alleged that he forced her to work late nights while pregnant and fired   
   her once her baby was born.    
      
   Carpenter added that the reason she came forward now was because Ray Fisher   
   brought allegations of abuse against Whedon after production of Justice   
   League. Carpenter also participated in the Warner Bros. investigation into   
   Fisher’s allegations.    
        
   Aside from Whedon, Carpenter said she made good friends on Buffy, the Vampire   
   Slayer. She specifically cited Nicholas Brendan, who played Xander. Especially   
   once Xander and Cordelia started dating, they had a good time between takes.    
      
   “Most people I enjoyed working with,” Carpenter told Rosenbaum. “Who I   
   had the most fun with was Nicky because we had a lot of scenes together as   
   lovers. He is naturally very funny and he has a great sense of humor. I had a   
   lot of fun working with    
   him in the early years.”   
      
   Carpenter held onto her experiences with Whedon for 20 years before finally   
   speaking publicly. Still, she kept mementos of her time on both shows. She   
   wasn’t trying to forget the good times.   
      
   “I took so many [props],” Carpenter admitted. “I have my chair, I have   
   my trophy, I have my burnt high school diploma, I have a lot of clothes. I got   
   rid of a lot of clothes. But, I still have my Beneton lime green trench coat   
   that I wore, I have    
   my teddy bear from ‘Bad Eggs,’ I have every single script with every   
   single note I ever made in every script saved in these ink preserving boxes. I   
   save and keep everything.”
