Byron Bay singer Billy Otto has criticised Netflix's casting procedures for controversial reality show Byron Baes after he was offered $200 per day to join the series.
The rock musician, who hails from Newcastle, told Confidential that Netflix has approached "anyone and everyone" to be a part of Byron Baes and have not been fully transparent about the upcoming project.
"I was never confirmed to be in the show. I had not signed a contract, I was still in the discussion phase," Otto said.
"Of course when Netflix is coming to you wanting to make a show that you can be a part of and they make you feel good about it, of course you're going to inquire.
