TheWonder Womanactress, 36, previously claimed in May that Whedon, 57,threatened her career while workingon the 2017 superhero movie, recalling him saying “that if I do something, he will make sure my career is miserable, and I took care of it on the spot.”
“Oh, I was shaking trees as soon as it happened. And I must say that the heads of Warner Bros., they took care of it. … Going back to the sense of righteousness that I have … you’re dizzy because you can’t believe this was just said to you,” she said. “And if he says it to me, then obviously he says it to many other people.”
Added Gadot, “I just did what I felt like I had to do. And it was to tell people that it’s not okay.”
The star said she “would’ve done the same thing, I think, if I was a man” too: “Would he tell me what he told me had I been a man? I don’t know. We’ll never know. But my sense of justice is very strong.”
