Hellena Taylor, the voice actor of the protagonist of the first two games in the Bayonetta series, claimed a few days earlier that she was offered $4000 for Bayonetta 3. She used the word insulting for being offered so less and called for fans to boycott the new game.
But now, according to a report from Bloomberg, Taylor was offered $3000-$4000 for at least five sessions of voice recording, meaning she would have made an overall sum of $15000 in Bayonetta 3.
Furthermore, the Bloomberg report stated that Hellena Taylor requested a six-figure fee for Bayonetta 3 along with the residuals of the game. Taylor disagreed with this report and said that she was offered more than $4,000 is categorically untrue; saying that she could have made $15,000 on Bayonetta 3 as a base rate was an absolute lie and a complete joke.
Her viral Twitter videos caused an immense controversy that was increasing daily. But today, the former Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor confirms Jason Schreier’s report that she was offered at least $15,000 and that the final offer was for a cameo, despite the claims in a video that went viral last week.
