Jennifer Hale is purely about the business. But she does meet her obligations and acts professionally. Probably the only person in this situation that actually did. Attacking her is beyond stupid. She got offered to do the role - she certainly didn't ask for how anyone else acted.
Pretty similar to how Laura Bailey was harassed to no end for her VA work in Last of Us 2. I am no fan of Last of Us 2 at all, but Laura Bailey is one of the best VAs, full stop. She voiced a character in it - she didn't write it or tell people how they should think, she didn't ask people to make that character their hill for their arguments to take their last stand on.
Both sides have claimed what the offer really was. Some actual proof would help, but that is doubtful unless this goes to court. As Ben Diskin said, people tend to lie/omit on both sides and that both sides of a story need verification from an independent source. Details/nuance matter. Schreier got sources but whether they're being 100% truthful can't be proven until someone actually shows a document of what the offer was. Heresay has been around since the dawn of time.
If Taylor really did only include the post-Hale hiring offer in her video, her goodwill is cactus and she had better be able to rely on her theater work because she won't get VA work again. And if her actions affect the saga of 'most' game VAs being underpaid, people will never forgive her, especially Michael Hollick.
