    Inside Truth Social.

    William Wilkerson, a Trump media executive turned whistleblower, offers a detailed look at what it was like working for the company behind Truth Social in a report from The Washington Post.

    Wilkerson claims Trump fired the company’s co-founder, Andy Litinsky, for not giving up some of his shares to his wife, Melania Trump. He also reveals problems with Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, noting they “were coming in and asking for a handout” despite being largely uninvolved.

    Wilkerson says he was eventually fired for making “unauthorized disclosures” to The Post.

    Bayonetta’s voice actress speaks out.

    Hellena Taylor, the voice actress behind Bayonetta, says she didn’t reprise her role in the upcoming Bayonetta 3 because of low pay. She claims that Japanese developer Platinum Games offered just $4,000 for her role as the series’ protagonist:

    This is an insult to me. The amount of time I took to work on my talent, and everything that I have given to this game and to the fans. I am asking the fans to boycott this game and instead spend the money that you would have spent on this game donating to charity.
