Jenna Ortega Looks Back On Controversial ‘Wednesday’ Writers Comments: “I Probably Could Have Used My Words Better”
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega is reflecting on some controversial comments she made in a 2023 interview about changes she made to her character's lines while on-set.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down on a set in the way that I had to on Wednesday because it’s so easy to fall into that category, especially with this type of show,” Ortega said. The script supervisor thought I was going with something, and then I would have to sit down with the writers, and they’d be like, ‘Wait, what happened to the scene?’ And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things.” Ortega said she was “protective” of the character she was portraying and although she didn’t like some of the “emotional” arcs on the show, she knew it was necessary.
