I feel so frustrated for her and am glad she is now speaking out on these issues that she faced. Proud of her. She was always my favourite character, in fact, the guitar that I have had for over a decade is named Cordelia!
Pretty much the store of the world. People of power have been getting away with this for years and it’s just started to finally get some attention with social media putting it out to the world. I’ve hated Joss since the first time I heard about this years ago. It’s messed up it took till now for a black man for people to actually start listening
Thank you for sharing this interview. It was so great to hear her. I still adore her to this day. Like everyone else, I knew something had to be going on behind the scenes during season 4. To see such a well established character be dismantled that way. It was infuriating to watch. To this day, whenever I rewatch the DVDs, I can’t bring myself to start season 4. The Faith episodes I watch but nothing earlier or after Faith during season 4. What they did with Cordelia and Connor...ugh. So glad she is sharing her truth now.
its not her truth, its her view of what happened from her point of view, and to only hear one side of the story, and not hear the studio's side of it, or joss whedans is so one sided. using the word her truth makes no sense what so ever. is joss and the wb or universal art the other studios not allowed to have their truths?
@@wwozanewmusical Well, you’d have to ask everyone involved that participated in the investigation prompted by Ray Fisher. Plus there are the comments made by other Angel & Buffy cast members. That’s all I need.
@@oldhollywoodfan8009 No reasonable person would believe her, it's a given that ppl talk ill of the boss that fired them. There are strong incentive to lie when a celebrity is promoting their project or book. About 1/2 the US population doesn't know humans are motivated by incentives. Hearsay isn't evidence, it's rumor. Anyone can make up a rumor, gossip is very dysfunctional. Just imagine the gossip on that set.
@@wwozanewmusical well I think we already know now that Joss is a piece of shit, there have been numerous actors that have come forward and said how much of a toxic environment Joss sustains.
Shes been telling this story for more than a decade now. The fans are only listening because all of a sudden they hate Joss. Before, all they did was defend him.
God, she went through hell and was manipulated and gaslighted for it for years following, which was another hell in itself. There's still great double standards today in most industries, as much as me too has progressed things- and I think that was her main point.
There's not double standard, there is fiction. The show was fiction, your comment is fiction, her performance here is fiction. Some dysfunctional ppl think fictions are real and act on them in stupid ways the effect real things.
yooooo this is my post from reddit and I had no idea until now that this was posted to youtube. I even transcribed the entire 9min conversation so no context would get lost. Great interview ERK! When I posted this to r slash buffy the sub had a hearty discussion about the topic. Mostly positive, but yknow. If you search the sub you will find it, and thnx for uploading this here!
Lowest payed? Are you kidding me!? Cordy MADE that show.
Cordelia was a fantastic character who shaped both shows in memorable ways. She deserved a better conclusion to her story.

She was the heart and soul of Angel. She was perhaps the main reason I watched the show.
She had been telling her story at Cons for YEARS. Its only recently that fans are starting to listen because the fanbase turned on Joss.

Angel wasn't the same after Charisma got fired, IMO. I missed her character so much
Lowest paid actress that is f,' ed up
Season 4 & 5 were no good but I still appreciate having them but I hated that cordelia & Doyle were killed off :(

*well - meant with love

Blesssings Charisma- standing up for yourself and making it better for others will heal many as well as yourself.
Moral of the story, kids ruin your career.
nope, the moral of the story is that the industry is sexist, and resentful guys in power positions can ruin your career.
