Jenna
Ortega
, known for her roles in 'Beetlejuice', 'Scream', and 'Miller's Girl', is facing a lot of hate and criticism over a recent comment. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, the actress opened up about the fame she gained from 'Wednesday' season 1.
In her comment, she said, 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention, as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.'
Although she seemed to speak with honesty, her words about being 'an unhappy person' upset many people online. Some netizens called her 'privileged' for complaining about fame.
Jenna went on to say that she didn't feel understood by the public after becoming popular. She added, '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.'
Speaking more about her role in the show, she admitted that playing a teenager feels 'patronising' now that she's older.

'I'm doing a show I'm going to be doing for years where I play a schoolgirl,' Ortega explained. 'But I'm also a young woman. You just don't feel like you're being taken seriously.'
Public criticises Ortega over 'unhappy person' comment
After the interview was published, many people took to social media to criticise her 'unhappy person' remark. One netizen posted, 'I bet the huge 6 and 7 figure pay cheques she took for the role weren't that patronising, though.' Another user added, 'Then she could have passed on the role.
I like her, but this seems like biting the hand that feeds you.'
This isn't the first time the 'Scream' actress has been criticised for her views on 'Wednesday'. Back in 2023, during an Armchair Expert podcast episode, she said she 'had to put my foot down on set' when talking about changing lines in the script she didn't like.

"Thug Life won't release in Karnataka without Kamal Haasan's apology," says KFCC President
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], May 31 (ANI): Actor Kamal Haasan's upcoming film, Thug Life, is facing trouble in Karnataka after the actor's recent remark on the Kannada language sparked anger among local groups, including the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), which has banned the film's release until the actor issues a public apology. While speaking to ANI, KFCC president M. Narasimhalu said that people in Karnataka are upset with Haasan for his comment that 'Kannada is born out of Tamil,' which he reportedly made during a promotional event in Chennai. Narasimhalu added that if the actor does not 'apologise' before the movie's slated release, it will not be allowed to screen in Karnataka. 'People of Karnataka are angry with Kamal Haasan. We have also sent a message to the South Film Chamber. The distributors have decided that if he does not apologise before the release of his film on the 5th, it will not be allowed to release here...' he said. The controversy has led to several protests in Karnataka by the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike and other Kannada organisations. In response to the growing backlash, Hassan stood by his statement, saying he believes in law and democracy. Terming India a 'democratic country,' the actor stated that he wouldn't 'apologise' to anyone for his actions if he is 'not wrong.' Pro-Kannada organisations have demanded a public apology from him for allegedly hurting the sentiments of Kannada people. Speaking to media personnel outside the DMK party headquarters in Chennai on Friday, Haasan said, 'It is a democracy. I believe in law and justice. My love for Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala is genuine. Nobody will doubt it except for those who have an agenda. I've been threatened earlier too, and if I am wrong, I would apologise; if I'm not, I won't.' Thug Life is directed by Mani Ratnam and stars Kamal Haasan, Trisha Krishnan, and Silambarasan TR in the lead roles. (ANI)
