Resident Evil 4 Remake Ada Wong’s voice actress, Lily Gao, faces a barrage of insults and criticism from so-called “fans” unhappy with her performance in the game. Gao replaced original voice actress Jolene Anderson in the new version.
Why Ada Was Replaced In Resident Evil 4 Remake
The controversy surrounding Anderson’s replacement dates back to late last year when Capcom announced the cast for the game. Fans weren’t happy that Anderson wasn’t reprising his role, but others noted that Gao , which is Chinese-Canadian, would provide a more accurate representation.
However, some critics felt Gao failed to live up to his promises, but that had more to do with the direction he was given than the quality of his work.
Enter the trolls, who took it upon themselves to scour Gao’s social media profiles and harass her to the point that she blocked comments on an Instagram post celebrating the successful release of Resident Evil 4 Remake. But apparently that wasn’t enough to deter the trolls, who started leaving disgusting and abusive comments on her other unrelated Instagram posts.
At one point, it all became too much for Gao, who has now deleted his entire Instagram profile to prevent trolls from commenting entirely.
