After Backlash, Jenna Ortega Goes Into Detail About Why She Put Her 'Foot Down' On The Set Of Wednesday

Jenna Ortega in Wednesday.

Wednesday and Jenna Ortega were the talk of the town when The Addams-Family spin-off hit Netflix in 2022. From her viral dance to gothic clothes, we’ve been discussing this series for a while. However, one section of the discourse that has caused some controversy is around comments the actress made about changing lines in the scripts. Now, she’s gone into detail about why she felt the need to put her “foot down” on set and make changes to her character that she felt were necessary. 

A few months after Wednesday took over the internet, Jenna Ortega opened up about changes she made to her character. The actress explained on Armchair Expert that she became “unprofessional, in a sense,” because she started changing lines on set.
