According to Jenna Ortega, she felt “incredibly misunderstood” when she reached the height of fame.
“I feel like being a bully is very popular right now. Having been on the wrong side of the rumour mill was incredibly eye-opening,” she said.
Further reflecting on her role in ‘Wednesday,’ the Hollywood actor said that the success of the Netflix show was a double-edged sword.
“I definitely feel like I have a bit more Gothic taste than I did when I was a teenager. I’ve always been into dark things or been fascinated by them, but I was a Disney kid, and the whole thing is being bubbly and kind and overly sweet,” she said.
