Hellena Taylor, the original voice actor of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta, has responded to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlatinumGames' claim that she demanded a six-figure salary to return to the role. Despite originally implying that she was only offered $4,000 for Bayonetta 3, Taylor now claims that the final offer she received was $15,000, which she declined.Taylor hasn't revealed how much she asked for, outside of saying it was a "fair, living wage", and not the six-figure salary that PlatinumGames claims. However, the voice actor hasn't explained the discrepancy in her statements, which omitted the offer of $15,000.This second statement from Taylor comes after a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:report from Bloomberg gave PlatniumGames' side of the story, countering the claims the voice actor made 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 i🌳n the industry," says Taylor, in reference to the article. "As I posted on part three of my video thread, I explained that their first offer was too low. That offer was 10,000 dollars total."
She continues, shedding further light on her correspondence with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta 3 director Hideki Kamiya. "I then wrote in Japanese to Hideki Kamiya, asking for what I was worth. I thought that as a creative, he would understand. He replied saying how much he valued my contribution to the game and how much the fans wanted me to voice the game." Taylor says Kamiya offered her an extra $5,000 after th🔴is conversation, at which point she left the project.
One aspect of the counter reports that Taylor does confirm is that she was offered $4,000 for a cameo appearance, 11 months after she had already rejected the role of Bayonetta. The main dಌifference is that Taylor's original videos heavily implied this was her pay offer to play Bayonetta, not a cameo.
At the end of the thread, Taylor further claims she was paid just £3,000 for the first game. However, given the confusion surrounding the situation, many in the 🌃replies are doubtful. Even those that continue to support Taylor express their frustration over her not being more upfront with the numbers from🌊 the offset.
It's not known if PlatniumGames will respond to this new statement. In the meantime, it has thrown its support behind Bayonettaℱ's new voice 🅰actor, Jennifer Hale.
