celeb news TV producer drags Jenna Ortega for criticizing Wednesday

[Alyssa Edwards]

i ain't watching that show but i like everything i reading from her. she seems quite opinionated, is strictly interested in movies, doesn't mind telling people their writing sucks...

it's giving future director/writer/producer teas

 

 

[discosean]

And when a man does it, he is a visionary, but if a woman does it, she is labeled as toxic and entitled. 

[JoJo]

She’s right though. Love triangles suck and it made no sense for the writers to put Wednesday of all characters in the middle of one. and the GP agrees so 

[qurl]

i just don’t think at the age of 20 she should act as if she’s above these stepping stone roles that help solidify her

[Happylittlepunk]

He isn’t part of the Wednesday show so he should mind his own business. Jenna Ortega revealing this and being offered a role as an executive producer for the show confirms what she said that she had to stop the writers and producers from making her character look like a fool. Like another poster said she stopped the show from being another cw/riverdale type of tv show and it shows the difference between her acting ability compared to the rest of the cast.  Netflix has been getting dragged for having poor quality shows lately and canceling so many good ones.  Working for Netflix seems toxic as ****. The network needs people with talent to take over.

Zac Efron said he hated the HSM movies but he still has a career

Adam Brody also spent a decade talking about how much he essentially hated The OC.

[Freakshowvato]

well she was right, Netflix does take shows in the wrong direction sometime.

 

Jenna is used to movies where she can read the entire script beforehand and co-sign it, this show was not the case.

 

She wants Wednesday to be a horror cool girl driven show, instead of a dumb teenage romance show. She is right

and Adam Brody ain't that good of an actor to be trash talking the only show he's famous for. No one cares about him in 2023

[GipJo]

She is show signs of an ungrateful rising star. Didn't she say that Wednesday fans are easy to please and it's just a mid series? Now this, she is an young ACTOR, she didn't know better about screenplay than actual writers. Being honest is one thing, being polite and professional is another, she is getting really cocky with each project she comes by. Let's hope she doesn't come to that, audience will switch real quick, she is not that good as an actor for her to behave like that aggressive.

I’m on Jenna’s side here… there is SO MUCH bad writing in the film industry right now and she was completely correct in talking honestly and openly about her experience with it.
 

Telling her to remain quiet in the name of ~professionalism~ is not the solution… having better writers is. 

exactly she's just being honest, she's not even being disrespectful. she had creative disagreements

[fauxtography]

You'd think after Jennifer Lawrence these newbies would realize this "quirky relatable over-sharing" nature IT girls take on in hollywood doesn't end well.

 

That said, I don't even think what she said was egregious at all.

[Ampersand13]

Oh please, literally not a single person has raised concern over working with Jenna, mind you she's been in the business for over a decade right? If she was the problem, she wouldn't have such a vibrant and consistent career or praise from all her past collaborators.

She really shouldn't, they allowed her to change that part where she wanted to change, problem were solved, she shouldn't brought it up after that, it's a private matter, it's not like the writers didn't allow her to do that so she had to speak up for herself.

How is saying her opinion signs of ungratefulness? Also is she not allowed to have an opinion of her show? She was right to say what was on her mind. She's opinionated and doesn't sugar coat **** with cookie cutter answers

It's true. She's taking it too far. Even saying that she "tried to turn Wednesday down". She's trying way too hard to be a contrarian. Appreciate the fact you're in a position so many would die to be in.

[Archetype]

Apparently Jenna saved the show from being even worse, so no, she's not being spoiled or entitled.  She has the best interest of everyone involved, and most importantly, wanted to give her character an honest depiction.

[Smarticle]

Who cares what he thinks  she's producing the next season so she's gonna act on her opinions anyways

[Delirious]

Jenna is absolutely right tho. The show is an overrated bore fest

No one would be responding if she was a white man. 

[SimpleKindofLife]

I’m sure this same producer was one of the ones complicit with the sexist behavior on the Buffy set

[Phaunzie]

I am with Steven, mainly because he made Spartacus, the full blown sex scenes in that show. Game of Thrones nudity is conservative compared to that FreetheNipple&Ck Fiesta.

 

Plus, she is gonna get labeled as  arrogant and ungrateful. She needs to learn how to politic, because contrarians don't make it far in the film industry. Also Miss Ortega was ok at best, I mainly watched the show from the set design, costume design, Gwendoline Christie and Christina Richie

It’s likely not going to affect her career. If she is set to produce the next season, I’m sure there are others in the industry that appreciate her drive and honesty that will want to work with her. 

 

She may have an overexposure era on social media, but I think as far as working goes, she’ll be okay.

I’m all about being honest & speaking your mind but not when you’re currently still attach to the job. Isn’t she doing a sequel to Wednesday?

Tbh is weird

[Josh]

Jenna isn't wrong on her opinion on Wednesday every line felt like it was written to be made into a reaction gif

 

[Jonver]

like I said before this is gonna cost her.
