And how much did they think this was worth? What did they offer to pay me? The final offer to do the whole game as a lump sum purchase was $4,000.”

“I’m not afraid of the non-disclosure agreement, I can’t even afford a car. What are you going to do, take my clothes off? Good luck. Bayonetta always stands up for those with less power, and stands up for what’s right, and in doing so , You are with her”.

Thank God.’ That’s when they offered me $4,000. And Platinum had the nerve to say that she was busy, that she couldn’t make it work with Miss Taylor’s schedule. Well, she had nothing but time.”

Taylor spoke then about replacing Hale and said that, while he wishes her well, “you have no right to say it’s Bayonetta.”

“Now they have a new girl voicing her, and I love the actors and I wish her all the joy in the world and all the jobs, but she has no right to say it’s Bayonetta,” Taylor said. “You have no right to sign products like Bayonetta.

They’ll probably try to do a spin-off with Jen, either.” you believe it”.
