Jenna Ortega has been making headlines as fans look forward to the release of season 2 of Tim Burton’s ‘Wednesday’. The actress recently spoke about becoming famous after season 1. While she showed gratitude, one comment about her life after fame has led to major backlash online.
Jenna says she was ‘an unhappy person’ after ‘Wednesday’ fame and talks about filming challengesJenna Ortega, known for her roles in ‘Beetlejuice’, ‘Scream’, and ‘Miller’s Girl’, is facing a lot of hate and criticism over a recent comment. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the actress opened up about the fame she gained from ‘Wednesday’ season 1.
In her comment, she said, “To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention, as somebody who’s quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.”
Although she seemed to speak with honesty, her words about being “an unhappy person” upset many people online. Some netizens called her ‘privileged’ for complaining about fame.
Jenna went on to say that she didn’t feel understood by the public after becoming popular. She added, “I feel like being a bully is very popular right now; having been on the wrong side of the rumour mill was incredibly eye-opening.”
Speaking more about her role in the show, she admitted that playing a teenager feels “patronising” now that she’s older. “I’m doing a show I’m going to be doing for years where I play a schoolgirl,” Ortega explained. “But I’m also a young woman. You just don’t feel like you’re being taken seriously.”
Public criticises Ortega over ‘unhappy person’ commentAfter the interview was published, many people took to social media to criticise her “unhappy person” remark. One netizen posted, “I bet the huge 6 and 7 figure pay cheques she took for the role weren’t that patronising, though.” Another user added, “Then she could have passed on the role. I like her, but this seems like biting the hand that feeds you.”
This isn’t the first time the ‘Scream’ actress has been criticised for her views on ‘Wednesday’. Back in 2023, during an Armchair Expert podcast episode, she said she “had to put my foot down on set” when talking about changing lines in the script she didn’t like.
