Jenna Ortega, the Actress, Criticized for Unprofessional Behavior on Set
Veteran Hollywood Producer Steven DeKnight Condemns Actions of 'Wednesday' Star Jenna Ortega
In a recent podcast interview with Shepard, the 'Wednesday' star admitted to stubbornly defending her character choices, even altering dialogue to fit her vision.
'There were times on set where I knew I was being unprofessional by changing the dialogue. The script supervisor was surprised and called me out, then I had to sit down with the writer and explain why I made those changes,' shared the actress.
However, this admission didn't sit well with producer Steven DeKnight. He believes this behavior reflects a lack of respect for the script and colleagues.
Steven shares his thoughts, labeling it as arrogance and toxicity. While he appreciates her acting, he believes life is too short to work with such individuals in the industry.
Although Steven DeKnight acknowledges Jenna Ortega's youth as a factor in her words and actions, he urges audiences not to condone her behavior. He suggests she consider how she would feel if crew members publicly discussed their challenges working with her.
Since the explosion of 'Wednesday,' Jenna Ortega has risen as one of the young actresses garnering attention and being touted as promising in Hollywood. Following the success of the series, she has frequently received invitations to film festivals and prestigious award ceremonies.
