“See you in the lines, Jenna.”
Jenna Ortegathe protagonist of ‘Wednesday’, one of the most popular Netflix series in history, He has met with the mockery of the screenwriters on strike in the USthat They have taken advantage of a space in their claims to reproach the comments of the actress about the script of his recent success.
The young interpreter has achieved great worldwide recognition thanks to her role as Wednesday Addams, in the youth series about the daughter of Morticia and Gómez Addams. However, a few weeks ago a controversy arose around her, after some statements in which she assured that she had helped improve the quality of the series, modifying the scripts in her interpretation.
These statements heated up the atmosphere with his fellow writers, who did not receive his comments well.
Now, during the scriptwriters’ strike that has been proclaimed, some of them have shared their opinions on the matter and Ortega reappeared on the map.
“Jenna Ortega better be back from New York soon for her afternoon shift on the picket line,” tweeted Nick Adams, screenwriter of ‘BoJack Horseman’, referring to the actress’s appearance on the red carpet of the MET Gala on Monday, May 1.
The screenwriter of ‘The Bear’, the recent series starring Lip Gallagher, Karen Joseph Adcock, added: “Rewriting is writing! See you in the lines, Jenna.”
Also, in a photo posted by Variety, On his official Twitter account, the writer of ‘House Party’ and ‘Just Roll With It’, Brandon Cohen, could be seen holding a banner that read: “Without writers, Jenna Ortega would have nothing to do.“
Fans of the actress have come to her defense, claiming that the actress is being held unfairly responsible.
The origin of the conflict arose last March, when Ortega visited the podcast Armchair Expertin which he proclaimed the following: “There were moments on set where I would get ‘unprofessional’ and start changing the text. I had to sit down with the writers and they’d say, ‘Wait, what happened to this scene?’ I explained to them why I couldn’t do certain things.”
After this, the actress added: “I don’t think I’ve imposed myself on any shoot the way I did on ‘Wednesday’. Everything he did, everything he had to play, made no sense with the character at all. That she was in a love triangle made no sense.”
“There was a text about a dress she has to wear to the dance from school in which he said: ‘Oh my gosh, I adore him. Ugh, I can’t believe I said that.I literally hate myself’. There I had to say, ‘no’.”
Prior to this, the actress had already recognized that her work schedules had been extreme, filming an average of 12 to 14 hours a day for 8 months. “I barely slept” Ortega told Variety. “He was pulling my hair out. There were so many times I would FaceTime my dad crying hysterically..”
Jenna Ortega has not commented on the recent messages from the writers.
