The Last of Us 2 Actress Reveals Death Threats She's Received

3.7
The Last of Us Part II released on PS4 last month, and it's already the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive ever and one of the highest-rated games of the generation. It's a great game, but that doesn't mean it's universally loved. In fact, it's been one of the most controversial and divisive releases in recent memory. Since launch, the game's creative director, Neil Druckmann, has shared the repulsive messages and comments he's received over the game. There have even been death threats. And unfortunately, Druckmann hasn't been the only target of this type of harassment.

Taking to Twitter, actress Laura Bailey, who plays one of the game's main characters, Abby, revealed she's been receiving death threats for her role in the game as well.

"Man. I try to only post positive stuff on here... but sometimes this just gets a little overwhelming," said Bailey. "I blacked out some of the words cuz, ya know, spoilers."


Bailey continued, thanking those who have been sending her positive messages during these difficult times:

"Side note. Thank you to all the people sending me positive messages to balance it out. It means more than I can say," added Bailey.



Unfortunately, this type of foul behavior isn't uncommon. Bailey isn't the first person in the industry this has happened to, and she won't be the last. It's tragic, but at this point, not very surprising to see this type of devilry.

The Last of Us Part II is available via the PS4 and the PS4 only. And if you haven't played it already, you should. If you have, you'll know Bailey puts in a great performance as Abby, which is to be expected at this point. She's one of the best in the business and has been for years.

Unfortunately the world is full of strange humans. Sending death threats to someone who doesn't even get a say in the game is crazy.

as much as i didnt like the ending, theres no need to send threats to people you hate, i deal with death threats on a daily since i was growing up
people hate me because they dont understand the truth and what making fun of know it alls and or memeing means.

honestly its disgusting the human race is like this now these people never played the original game so they dont know wtf they talking about because they would have hated her then.

alinity deserves what she has coming but this chick no she was doing what the script said, its naughty dog people should go after they are the ones who ruined the game and bend to the knee of sjw's and the other communities.

again its disgusting what humans became

These kind of people are garbage, man. How do you go to an actor of a game and threaten them for something they didn't even do? I mean, the writers and directors don't deserve it either, but going to the actors is especially dumb. I wish the developers/actors well.
