The Bayonetta 3 affair is far from having found its end. After the press got involved in the story and carried out their own investigation, questioning Hellena Taylor's claims about the $ 4 sum offered to reprise her role as Bayonetta in the third episode, it is the turn of the actress in question to return to face her detractors in a series of tweets posted a few hours ago. She begins by readjusting her remarks and going back to the exact amount, which is now a little closer to the sum advanced by Jason Schreier of Bloomberg, who indicated a total of $000 for the entire doubling to be done. While clarifying that she had already indicated this in video 15 of her initial thread, Hellena Taylor admits that the initial offer was for $000, but that she considered the amount insufficient for her stature and importance. in the game's success, recalling that the Bayonetta franchise earns its creators $3 million.
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. See thread #PlatinumGames #Nintendo #Bayonetta #Bayonetta3 #Bayonutters #Boycott #NintendoEurope #NintendoAmerica #NintendoJapan

While it is difficult for the time being to confirm this amount of turnover, she recalls that her cachet remains insufficient given the sales generated from the saga. The sum of $15 is confirmed when the actress admits that PlatinumGames has come back with a new proposal: $000 more, which then corresponds to the $5 advanced by Bloomberg. It was only after that Hellena Taylor received a new offer, that of $000, therefore, for a day of recording, but which did not correspond to the role of Bayonetta, but that of another character, since PlatinumGames had already decided to replace her with Jennifer Hale.
These are details that change the situation and reconsider above all the original comments made by the actress who undoubtedly told the facts under a different prism, just to have the public by her side. Hellena Taylor continues her call for a boycott by stating that she will give a list of 14 charities so that players can donate instead of buying the game. She ends by asking people not to fall for the trap, that the industry is powerful and that it also has powerful journalists. However, unlike her first thread, there is much less support for her. Worse, many fans let her go, disappointed that she didn't tell the truth and play on words and numbers. It was also found that the last posts of his thread which continued to call for a boycott, giving a list of charities to donate the money to rather than buying the game, have been deleted.
