Jenna Ortega Seems to Hate WEDNESDAY

What a pig.

She should get more buccal fat removed.

I think she probably fears typecasting.

I’m so sick of all the PR pushing and seeing this girl in every fucking entertainment and fashion magazine.

She believes her own hype. Let her be a diva because her 15 minutes will be up very soon.

Sweetheart, you'll never be as famous.

So what, who cares? I hate Mondays, that’s why I’m now off those days.

Miss Ortega disrespects scriptwriters and her actor peers. She thinks she's better than anyone else, a Zandaya to be... What an obnoxious woman she is.

She is WONDERFUL.

Can't wait to see her show up those talentless hacks on SNL tonight!

Adorable.

I don’t see the big deal with her at all. She sounds like another Katherine Heigl.

She wasn't particularly nice when asked about Lada Gaga joining Wednesday, she was so over it, as if she's famous enough yet to be doing that, even Madonna barely got away with coming for Gaga.

I already find her annoying. Changing lines simply because she doesn't like them? Stay in your lane. You're not Paddy Chayefsy.

And she's no Christina Ricci. Who was and remains the perfect Wednesday.

Is she a girl boss?

R10 she came for Gaga?

Bitch is dead to us.

Insufferable cunt.

Charming.

So, I hope all the haters skip SNL tonight.

Ortega stan in the da house at R16.

You're 16, have dyed your hair purple and green, identify as non-binary and have just discovered Siouxsie and the Banshees?

"You guys gotta hear this AMAZING band!"

I am not impressed with all of the attitude these little 20-25 year-old IT boys/girls are copping. I guess it's their age showing, but it's okay, 95% of them won't be talked about in two years.

Is she Donut Licker 2.0?

She'd be dumb not to stick with the show for at least a couple more seasons to really solidify her profile.

R12 wrong Netflix show.

Is she heiress to the Ortega Mexican foods empire?

She name dropped “Jules et Jim” at an award show as if it were some rare film only she knew about it. I was so embarrassed for her.

To Gen Zs like her. Jules et Jim is some rare, undiscovered treasure unknown to anyone else until a Gen Z-er happened upon it.

More hating her career

A show like this was naturally going to attract scores of weirdo fans, much like SPN and Dr. Who and Sherlock. That's probably not nice to deal with at conventions and the like.

Constance Wu 2:Electric Boogaloo

She hates her hit show and thinks she's too good for it. She wants to be in films and is doing one of the few things that will guarantee she gets blackballed in the industry.

Thou shalt not trashtalk the product.

The poster likening Ortega to Heigl has a point. Isn't she selling cat food and tampons now?

I hated Jules et Jim.

[quote] She sounds like another Katherine Heigl.

We'll be watching for her cat litter commercial in 2026.

her brother Isaak is fucking hot (upper right)

She's too old, anyway.

It's not hating if there's a movie you wanted to do more than the show with shit writing.

R31 she got off easy name-wise

Lesbo Alert!

A Latina Wednesday?

Thoughts and prayers for her publicist.

Miércoles.

They made her do the dance scene when she had covid, so its understandable she might not want to work with them again.

Jacob Elordi's next girlfriend.

YES she’s Katherine Heigl-ing herself.

And Katherine Heigl had at least carried two non-franchise movies when her ego exploded.

Lesbian Alert!

She needs to watch this

Constance Wu also did this, it destroyed her reputation.

I feel like she was a miscast anyway as she looks NOTHING like the original Wednesday. She's a latina ffs! She has a tanned latina skin and latina facial features. Wednesday was pale with black hair. The only reason Jenna became a fan favorite is because she came out as a lesbian, and the gays treat her as a diva of sorts.

r31 He's perfect.........for chubby chasers!

She came out? I had no idea. Good for her.

I've never seen anything she's in and just don't pay her any attention. Now that she's destroyed her career, I guess I never will. Oh well.

At the end of the day, it's still work and we see how newer generations are about doing their fucking jobs, no matter the pay.

R3 Same. Can't stand her. I dob't get why the gays love her so much? She is hardly a diva. WTF?!

[quote]Jenna Ortega Seems to Hate WEDNESDAY

She could sleep all day, and wake up on Thursday.

[quote]I dob't get why the gays love her so much?

What part of OVER-THE-TOP FEMALE CHARACTER THRILLS AUDIENCE OF HOMOSEXUALS do you fail to understand?

She’s already insufferable and she’s only been famous for like a month.

Perhaps she disliked a bunch of old white men telling her how a female (now) Latina character would behave.

She's an artiste! You wouldn't understand her. She experiences feelings you could only dream of!

She’s terrible and I can’t wait till we don’t have to look at her bird face again.

I don't think so OP. She was great with the hot wings.

Why are people so pressed. OP just hates the actress. Why?

r47, this not true. She did not come out. People are trying to make her be lesbian.

I love the show but the more I'm hearing about her (DL is my only source for all things entertainment) she's coming across like a spoiled pretentious teenager. If there were two Vickie's on Falcon Crest, two Darrin's on Bewitched and two Jan Brady's we can easily have two Wednesdays. She's good but it's not that hard a part to play.

What boggles my mind is that apropos of her small roll on “You”, she appears to believes she could just start doing film. Like people would just start offers film roles to this tiny little Hispanic girl.

Oddly the phenomenon of ethnic-looking actresses breaking out and suddenly believing they rule the world is not uncommon (Lea Michele, Constance Wu, America Ferrara).

Cancel Wednesday after Season 2 and free her to do other things. Cancel the Beetlejuice 2 deal before it's made, it'll probably just end up on Netflix anyway, and is it really a "film" then? Kill her off in Scream 7 if she's not dead already, or kill her in between movies, it's probably just another thing holding this 20-year old genius back!

r39. They made her do a dance? The poor thing.

She was good in that school shooting indie. And I liked her in You.

She looks VERY young though, almost midget adjacent so I’m not sure how she will transition into adult woman parts.

Her fan base is all gen Z so they probably don’t mind her complaining. Don’t they all complain all the time?

I love her so much.

I can't believe I'm playing her mother when I'm only a few years older than her!

Midget-adjacent is good for getting work. Look at all the midget actors she can play opposite. They won't have to wear their lifts.

Tiny little women tend not to transition well. Patty Duke, et al.

Who says I can't play Wednesday?

Actually R57 I like her work. But I'm a bit surprised at the complaining in interviews. I'm surprised her agent and publicist havent told her that certain things belong in group chats

Just what every project in development wants... an actor who slams the creative team in the press. She'll be exhausted from all the work coming her way!

She looks dead behind the eyes and is a limited actress.

Her sisters are named Mariah and Aliyah?

She looks like an elf.

Instead of learning all about Jules and Jim, she should be reading about Katherine Heigl.

[quote]Tiny little women tend not to transition well.

I transitioned PERFECTLY!

She'll probably be the next failure crying racism while everybody in the business is just thinking difficult.

I can't stand her. She thinks she is so much smarter, cooler, edgier, and more sophisticated than everyone else. She always comes across like she tries too hard to be different. One of those who says "I can't like this popular thing because everyone else does. It's not obscure enough."

If she thinks she's so high above everyone, then maybe everyone should quit casting her in their projects.

R66 I think Patty Duke did pretty well for herself. I mean she want an Oscar, three Emmy awards (out of 11 nominations), two Golden Globe awards and numerous others to mention. Also to date, she is still the youngest person to have a TV show named after her. And I'm almost sure that she is also the youngest person to ever have her name above the title in a Broadway show.

*won

How challenging can it be for an annoying little emo girl to play an annoying little emo girl?

If she doesn't fix the attitude she won't have a career outside of Wednesday. Another child actor with no idea of how the real world works.

Of course she has no idea how the real world works. You said it yourself, she's a child actor.

She's also rude, arrogant, generally unpleasant and ungrateful for the chances she's been given. They can and will be taken away just as fast as they were handed to her. It can all disappear overnight, it may have already happened.

Welcome to psuedo-celebrity Big Brother with Jenna Ortega!

Good one, R74.

Scream VI was absolutely terrible. On the flip side, I feel like I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Wednesday.

Has she played the race card yet? Burrito eating ingenue faces pile-on from White middle aged male writers.

I tried watching an episode but could not get into it. The Addams Family movies and the cast of those are THE characters. That and Wednesday going to monster high...blah.

I suppose she is a good enough actress, but I can't stomach watching her interviews. She seems humorless and like she's thinking "Look how sophisticated and cultured I am" the entire time.

[quote] A Latina Wednesday?

I know right? The series should be renamed Miércoles

r68, I thought the way she was in interviews was just playing up the Wednesday character and thought it was all fun. But now I'm hearing she has all this tude and is a problem? It wasn't for show. Disappointed.

A year and a half later: "I'm sowwy. But also, it's the media's fault for blowing it out of proportion. Oh, and haters gonna hate."

[quote]”I probably could have used my words better in describing all of that. I think, oftentimes, I’m such a rambler. I think it was hard because I felt like had I represented the situation better, it probably would’ve been received better.”

[quote]”Everything that I said felt so magnified … It felt almost dystopian to me. I felt like a caricature of myself. You’re never going to please everybody, and as someone who naturally was a people pleaser, that was really hard for me to understand. Some people just may not like you … and that’s entirely fine.”

She doesn't intimate that she's even slightly sorry. She says that she and her comments were misrepresented, and also, people don't like strong women.

Insufferable.

Is this like I Hate Mondays?

Has anyone tried the Wednesday cereal? I saw this at the supermarket today.

She’s a DEI hire. They cast her to get funding from the banks. She’s their token minority.

R93 but wasn't Gomez Addams a Mexican?

r53, she seems to like old white man Tim Burton a whole lot- she appears to be his new muse.

I just looked up the "Jules et Jim" awards clip on YouTube. She seems very pretentious.

R92 I did! It is the most god awful cereal I’ve ever had. I’m not exaggerating. I managed three bites then had to dump the whole thing out in the woods.

I can’t even remember what it tasted like, but it was terrible. Even the smell was off-putting. Reminded me of the little rubber chunks used on playgrounds instead of wood chips or gravel.

Try some and tell me if it’s just me. Maybe kids would like it, idk.

R97 I'm considering picking up a box of Wednesday this week. I'll let you know.

Her and Rachel Zelger are so toxic to Hollywood.

But they’re the new generation which is so unfortunate.

[quote] Her and Rachel Zelger are so toxic to Hollywood.

How so? Is it because they're DEI hires?

You can always divide the leftover cereal into small bags and hand them out for Halloween.

I had a bowl of Wednesday on Thursday and Friday my turds came out pitch black.

It’s a dumb kids show

Didn't she cop some flak a while ago for presenting as Latina but not being able to speak Spanish?

She is known as being the BIGGEST diva. Can only imagine this is early days for her Lea Michelle impersonation.

R100 No it’s because they’ve built reputations slamming the projects they’re working on and playing victims. They’re brats and their fans praise it.

There's a cereal out now based on the show. It gives you black poo.
