Kaitlyn Dever Needed “Extra” Security On ‘The Last of Us’ Set, Isabela Merced Says


Fans of 'The Last of Us' video game reportedly hate Kaitlyn Dever's character Abby so much, she required additional security on set.

Season 2 co-star Isabela Merced claimed that Dever needed security on the set of the video game-based drama from people who “genuinely hate” her character Abby Anderson, a soldier who ends up at odds with Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey). In addition to Abby’s role as an antagonist to Ellie and Joel ( Pedro Pascal), some video game fans have also expressed hatred toward the character over her looks and false speculation that she is transgender. Merced, who plays Ellie’s partner and co-conspirator Dina on Season 2, went on to defend Dever, whose mother died of breast cancer in February.
