In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Jenna Ortega addressed the backlash to her comments about her experience on set for the Netflix show “Wednesday,” in which she plays a version of Wednesday Addams. Ortega, who is known for being opinionated, explained that she wanted to make sure her voice was heard and that everything she had to say mattered. She had originally thought the show’s tone would be darker, but when she discovered it was more whimsical and aimed at a teen audience, she had to put her foot down on set. This led to some unprofessional behavior, including changing lines and frustrating the script supervisor. Her comments sparked criticism from industry insiders, including producer Steven DeKnight, who called her entitled and toxic. Despite the backlash, Ortega stands by her comments and will even serve as a producer on the show’s second season.
