Jenna talks about Percy ’s controversial 'Wednesday' exit
Tuesday, 6 August 2024 Jenna Ortega, known for her breakout role in Wednesday, recently opened up in a Vanity Fair interview about her career and personal challenges. She addressed Percy Hynes White’s exit from Wednesday season 2 due to misconduct allegations, describing it as “a weird redirect” but assured fans that new characters would fill the gap. Ortega also spoke about her instant bond with Winona Ryder on the set of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, noting their deep and engaging connection. Reflecting on her past actions, Ortega admitted to altering lines in Wednesday season 1 without consulting the writers, which sparked backlash during the WGA strike. The intense scrutiny that followed made her feel like a caricature of herself and struggle with the reality that not everyone would like her. Overwhelmed by her visibility, she found it exhausting to see her face everywhere, often accompanied by trivial quotes, and acknowledged that she too would be fed up with such repetitive exposure.
