When revelations were made about the attitude and actions of Joss Whedon, many stars of the writer/director’s shows and movies came forward to finally share their experiences. This included some 90s actors smash Buffy the Vampire Slayer, like Charisma Carpenter, but one person who kept quiet the whole time was lead actor Sarah Michelle Gellar. Now the actress has explained why she chose not to speak out in connection with the allegations against Whedon.
Sarah Michelle Gellar has spent nearly a decade outside of Hollywood taking the time to enjoy her family and her growing children. Now she’s back and soon to be seen in Teen Wolf spin-off wolf pack among other things. During a recent conversation with the New York Times about her upcoming projects, the topic of Whedon came up. While Gellar admitted to having her own “fair share of the experiences,” she noted that the way society is turning things in an onslaught of “victim accusation” on social media, she chooses to keep them to herself. She said:
“Growing up in New York, I had a bit of a street feel about it, which is helpful. But no, it wasn’t easy. And I’ve had quite a few experiences, I just chose not to – I win not by telling my stories emotionally for me i watch people tell their story and i am so impressed but in this world where people are being torn apart and victim blaming and shaming i just keep my stories here.”

There was a time when Sarah Michelle Gellar was everywhere and appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer between 1997 and 2003, in addition to film roles in Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2, Scooby-Doo and the resentment. She starred in the comedy series the crazy ones with Robin Williams in 2013, and it was after Williams’ death that she felt she needed to take a break from the Hollywood machine. She previously said:
“I’ve worked all my life. When I had children – and it was right after Robin passed away – so much was happening in my life that I just said, ‘I need to take a break.’ I must be here for these early formative years of my children’s lives. I needed that break to be the parent I wanted to be.”
