Craig Burnatowski has denied any accusations of abuse that were made against him by his ex-partner. He is known for voicing Albert Wesker/Zeno in the Resident Evil 4 Remake and the Resident Evil Requiem.
These claims came just after a gaming convention removed Craig from its guest list. The actor released a statement within two days, saying the allegations are ‘unfounded.’
Fantasy & Magic Con clarified that Burnatowski had been removed from the guest list after reports went viral on social media. They stated that they evaluated the situation before making their decision. The convention explained that they were keen on ensuring everyone in attendance feels comfortable and safe.
Burnatowski was previously listed among the Resident Evil voice actors who were set to attend the convention. Initially, it was stated that the issue was under investigation, but soon the convention planners decided to exclude him.
These accusations initially emanated from a self-declared woman named Monica, who accused the actor of having an affair with her for almost a year. In her claims, the actress claimed that the actor had emotionally abused and mentally tormented her when they were together. She said she was physically abused by the actor twice during physical intimacy.
In her next post, Monica provided additional information about the incident. This is where the actor caused her injury, which is bleeding and requires medical intervention. Also, the doctor said that she might require surgery. Later, another individual raised separate accusations against Burnatowski online, accusing him of misbehavior towards his fans.
Burnatowski took to Instagram after the claims started trending on social media. He declared that he is devastated by baseless claims by his ex-girlfriend. According to the actor, the woman used to come to see him five times in his native place while they were in a relationship.
Burnatowski further added that even his family members and friends welcomed her each time she visited him. The actor claimed that he tried his best to ensure that she got all the comfort when visiting him. He further claimed that she had not experienced any uncomfortable situation during their stay together.
Burnatowski's denials and accusations have led to extensive discussions among the fan base of Resident Evil games on social media platforms. Fantasy & Magic Con has taken action as a result of their evaluation, but Burnatowski has denied every accusation raised against him.
So far, there has been no indication of legal measures or an investigation taking place on this matter. The accusations have yet to be proven in court, and Burnatowski denies them all.
