“CC, my heart aches for you and I am so sorry you have held this for so long. Your post was powerful, painful, and painted a picture we’ll collectively never un-see or un-know. Thank you. I hadn’t known it and I won’t forget it,” Dushku said in a post to Instagram.

Notes that while Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg, Amber Benson, Clare Kramer, and Emma Caulfield have all publicly supported Charisma Carpenter following her speaking out about Joss Whedon s abuse of her on the Angel set, all of her male costars have thus far remained silent (female costars Amy Acker and Alyson Hannigan have also said nothing). Says it’s important for men to use their platform to boost and support women speaking out, as well to call out other men and to state that they believe women.
