Hellena Taylor, the former voice of Bayonetta, sparked controversy by claiming she was offered only $4,000 to reprise her role in Bayonetta 3. This post led to significant backlash against PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya, the series director. Kamiya reported an overwhelming volume of negative posts, leading him to block numerous users. Although Taylor's pay claim was widely circulated, later reports suggested that PlatinumGames had offered significantly more and made efforts to negotiate with her. Taylor disputed these reports but did not provide an immediate response recently.
Kamiya recalls the incident in a way that sounds overwhelming, noting how posts directed at him became nasty as Taylor rallied fans against PlatinumGames.
Hellena Taylor claimed she was offered only $4,000 for her return in Bayonetta 3, which she felt was insulting considering her contribution to the franchise.
Kamiya resorted to his famous block button, stating, "But my blocking skills couldn't keep up. They were even faster than my blocking."
Reports that challenged Taylor's assertions claimed that PlatinumGames attempted to negotiate with her and that the pay offer was much higher than she had mentioned.
