During the events of Grounded II, a documentary about The Last of Us 2, voice actress Laura Bailey revealed that she had received numerous death threats, and others directed at her newborn child, due to the gamer community’s hatred of her character.
This caused Laura to go to the police to report the threats and investigate the identity of those sending them to arrest and hold them accountable. In anticipation of their intention to implement it.
Laura said:
“They were threatening my son who was born during all of this, and yeah, it was rough. But you know, more than anything, it taught me to keep my distance.
