Joss Whedon's ex-wife alleges infidelity in scathing essay

22 Aug 2017 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The ex-wife of director Joss Whedon writes in a scathing essay that the filmmaker known for holding up feminist ideals “is not who he pretends to be.”

Kai Cole says she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after Whedon confessed the infidelities.

A representative for Whedon tells The Wrap that Cole’s “account includes inaccuracies and misrepresentations,” but adds that Whedon isn’t commenting “out of concern for his children and out of respect for his ex-wife.”

Whedon is best known for directing “The Avengers” and its 2015 sequel.
