Jenna Ortega Addresses Controversial Comments on Wednesday

Jenna Ortega has addressed the absence of her Wednesday co-star Percy Hynes White from the upcoming season, describing it as 'weird' but manageable due to the introduction of new characters. White's departure followed allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denied, and Ortega acknowledged the shift in dynamics without him. In a recent interview, she also reflected on her controversial comments about rewriting her character's lines, admitting she could have communicated better and acknowledging the backlash she faced. Ortega expressed that her intention was to ensure authenticity for her role, but her remarks led to her being perceived negatively in the media. She recognized the challenges of navigating public perception and the importance of respecting the writing process, stating, 'You’re never going to please everybody.' Ortega confirmed that despite the hurdles, preparations for season two are underway and promises to be 'bigger and better.'
