Supergirl star Melissa Benoist has spoken out in the wake of sexual harassment accusations against co-showrunner Andrew Kreisberg, who has been suspended pending an investigation by Warner Bros.“I am a woman who leads a show that supports equality and feminism, empowerment and fighting for what is right. I have always tried to conduct myself this way personally, as well,” Benoist said in a statement posted Sunday night on Twitter. Warner Bros. is conducting an investigation with the cooperation of Berlanti Productions, which oversees the producer’s shows. Variety said its sources chose to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation. Benoist didn’t directly mention Kreisberg — who serves as an executive producer on Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow in addition to Supergirl — but addressed the atmosphere of the aftermath of allegations against him.
