The complaints from various actresses for sexual harassment of Percy Hynes White, Jenna Ortega’s partner in ‘Wednesday’ and a possible real-life partner, could be reason enough for Netflix to relieve him of the role for T2. Or not?
like he always does Netflix, when a series is successful, it doesn’t take long to announce the new seasons: This is what they have done with projects such as ‘Los Bridgertons’, ‘Emily in Paris’ or ‘The Crown’, to mention just three. And the same thing happened with ‘Wednesday’, one of the series with the most views at the end of the year on the platform.
Just a few weeks ago it was confirmed that there would be a second season of ‘Wednesday’ andof the few things that we were clear about, is that the protagonist Jenna Ortega would reprise in the title role. However, the latest news seems that they could keep her away from the new episodes (And well that would annoy us because we no longer see another actress in the role; in fact, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for the series).
The truth is that there does not seem to be any problem with her, but with her partner in the series, Canadian actor Percy Hynes White, who plays Xavier, one of Wednesday’s ‘boyfriends’. An actor who rumors say could be Ortega’s real-life partner.
But this relationship would not be entirely favorable for the also actress of ‘Scream’, because Several young women have accused him of sexual abuse on social networks. Apparently Percy Hynes White He threw the most risqué parties where he ended up harassing the brides and the guests and, in the end, images of these abuses were shared on social networks.
In the message, he talks about the actor as if he were a sexual predator who forced girls to sleep with him and his gang of friends, to send them nude photos or, literally, invite “only to girls who thought they were hot so they could get them drunk and drugged enough to have sex with them.” The young man, apparently, would have insulted the young women when they refused his intentions in terms such as “fat, bitches, whores, ugly, liars.”
For now there have been no official statements from Netflix, or from Ortega or from the actor, who has already been denounced for all these alleged abuses and harassment. Will the scandal over her friendship with Percy Hynes White affect Jenna Ortega? We will have to wait… and cross our fingers that it doesn’t.
