Im actually kind of impressed. Not used to women being able to admit they lied (even if they dont say it directly) and then she still managed to spoil every possible amount of goodwill just seconds later by revealing that she only did it so she could try the exact same thing a second time.
Absolutely fascinating the brain of the white foid

Her whole act didn't pass the sniff test from the get go. According to her IMDb she hasn't had any credited work since 2014. That's not the resume of someone who's in a position to make demands for a high salary.
Basically, she decided that this was her chance at getting a big pay day by airing non-existent dirty laundry and got caught.
In essence,

Under what circumstances would her lying like this have worked out for her? Seems like she was just seething about this months after the fact and wasn't expecting Platinum to actually show receipts falsifying her story. Either that or she's delusional enough to believe that people would sympathize with her even after the full context came out indicating that she was essentially asking for like $10k/hour of recording. A modest living wage!

Yes, failed theatre actresses tend to not be the most reasonable, intelligent, or realistic people in the world.
She legitimately thinks that a series that probably hasn't shifted 3 million copies is worth $450 million and that she's so integral to the series that she deserves that bag. She went berserk on that actress that replaced her too. "She's not Bayonetta, has no right to call herself Bayonetta"

WTF is she smoking that she thinks Bayonetta is worth $450 million? I don't think a single game has sold more than 2 million copies, and the original only started selling more in recent years, it was a flop when it came out.

Yeah and unlike DMC or MGR, it's just not a memorable game in general.

Why does a goddarn voice actor, of all people, even matter at all? Actors as a whole are overrated trained monkeys, voice actors not even that.

We're pretty close to AI that can generate fully synthetic VO, and emote on cue like a voice actor.

Platinum games are not huge sellers like Call of Duty. They sell like maybe a couple million copies. This c*nt is r-slurred thinking they make that much money.

I'm anticipating the whole voice actor industry will collapse as text-to-speech improves. It would be like collapsing a mud hut, but Siri doesn't ask for residuals.

devil's advocate for her at least a little bit is VAs generally don't get paid well enough at all but her demands were ludicrous. 6 figures for one job and royalty rights? the frick? Ultimately she would have gotten like 15-20k I think which IMO def isn't enough when you factor in how much money the franchise makes but she could have made a reasonable counter offer then if that got rejected be 100% honest in airing the dirty laundry without going after Jennifer Hale of all fricking people on top of it.
TL:DR b-word is fricking crazypants

Why? She is just a replaceable voice actor. She doesn't matter to the game.
The large majority of g*mers probably cannot even name 5 voice actors (that aren't normal actors as well).
