Jenna Ortega on 'Wednesday'

Jenna Ortega has addressed the exit of her former co-star Percy Hynes White from the Netflix series 'Wednesday', describing the situation as a 'weird redirect'.

In addition to discussing the show's developments, Ortega shared her deep connection with co-star Winona Ryder on the set of 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice', highlighting their engaging bond. She reflected on the intense scrutiny she faced after changing lines in 'Wednesday' season 1, which contributed to her feeling overwhelmed by public perception. Ortega emphasized the importance of accepting that not everyone will like her, a challenging realization for her as a natural people-pleaser.
