The voice actor who played Abby in The Last of Us Part 2 has revealed that not only did she receive abusive messages when the game was released, but abusers also sent death threats about her infant son, too.
Talking in the fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary, Grounded 2: Making The Last of Us Part 2, Laura Bailey confirmed that the “real hardcore death threats” were so concerning, they were passed on to police, whilst her baby son – who was “born during all of it” – also received threats, too.
The threats – sent because the fictional character she played did something to another fictional character that a subset of so-called fans didn’t like – became so serious that she even had to turn some over to the police to ensure her safety.
