Kaitlyn Dever, who plays Abby in the upcoming second season of HBO's The Last of Us, had additional protection during filming due to the toxicity surrounding her character.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Dina actress Isabel Merced said the team at HBO believed there could be an increased risk due to the toxicity surrounding Abby. Some members of The Last of Us community have expressed hatred for the character and harassed and sent death threats to Laura Bailey, who played Abby in the video game.
"There's so many strange people in this world because there are people that actually genuinely hate Abby, who is not a real person. Just a reminder: Not a real person," Merced asserted before mentioning the additional precautions on set. "Kaitlyn had to be extra secured by security when it came to the filming of this."
