Pressure on Kaitlyn Dever because of her character Abby
Last of Us season 2 brings a big controversy by bringing the character of Abby to the series. Abby caused a huge backlash in the gaming world and drew the ire of many gamers. Especially Abby’s actions in the game made her one of the most controversial characters in gaming history. Kaitlyn Dever, who plays Abby, was also affected by these reactions and extra security measures were taken to ensure her safety during the set.
Isabela Merced shared important details about Dever’s safety during a podcast. Merced said that the hatred of Abby’s character could also pose a threat in real life, which is why Dever is protected by security guards. According to Merced, the anger against Abby did not only remain in the virtual world, but Dever also became a target in real life for portraying this character.
Kaitlyn Dever’s protection in the face of these threats has once again highlighted the challenges of Last of Us season 2. The character Abby’s actions in the game were taken so seriously by some fans that Abby’s original voice actor Laura Bailey faced similar threats. For this reason, HBO decided to increase Dever’s security to prevent similar incidents from happening.
