'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega doesn't do TikTok: 'Not a healthy place to be'

LOS ANGELES — Jenna Ortega is one of TikTok's biggest stars. But you won't catch her using the app.

Ahead of Tuesday's Golden Globe Awards, the 20-year-old actor revealed that she "can't be on" the Gen Z-facing platform and doesn't make a habit of scrolling through videos re-creating her viral "Wednesday" dance. Her kooky choreography from the first season of the hit Netflix series has been widely shared and imitated on social media — especially TikTok.

"I can't look into all of that stuff," Ortega told Entertainment Tonight on the Golden Globes red carpet in Beverly Hills. "I think, good or bad, [TikTok is] probably not a healthy place to be."
