Bayonettavoice actress Hellena Taylor has issued a further statement on Twitter addressing the pay dispute with PlatinumGames.
She asked fans to boycott the game in response.
Later, reports from Bloomberg and VGC emergeddisputing Taylor’s claims.
“It has come to my attention that some people are calling me a liar and golddigger.
I feel the need to defend myself and my reputation in the industry,” she said on Twitter.
It has come to my attention that some people are calling me a liar and golddigger.
I feel the need to defend myself and my reputation in the industry.
I explained that their first offer was too low.
That offer was 10,000 dollars total.
Remember, this is 450 million dollar franchise, (not counting merchandise.).
I then wrote in Japanese to Hideki Kamiya, asking for what I was worth.
I thought that as a creative, he would understand.
I was then offered an extra 5,0000!
[this is presumably a typo for 5,000]
“So, I declined to voice the game.
I then heard nothing from them for 11 months.
They then offered me a flat fee to voice some lines for 4,000 dollars.
Any other lies, such as 4,000 for five sessions are total fabrications.
“There were not ‘extensive negotiations’.
I’ve also been informed of ridiculous fictions, such as I asked for 250,000 dollars.
I am a team player.
“I was paid a shockingly low total of 3000 total for the first game.
A little more for the second.
I wanted to voice her.
I have drummed up interest in this game ever since I started on Twitter in 2011.”
Voice actress Jennifer Hale will voice the character in Bayonetta 3.
She later asked for fans tobe kinder following online abuse.
Developer PlatinumGames followed withits own statement in support of Hale.
