Jenna Ortega is receiving backlash on social media, after admitting to filming her iconic dance scene in Netflix’s Wednesday while exhibiting coronavirus symptoms.


After revealing she pushed through intense ‘body aches’ and other telltale signs of COVID-19 until receiving a positive test, the actress, 20, raised questions about the protocols followed on set amid the pandemic, between September 2021 and March 2022, in Romania.


‘It was dangerous, unethical, and extremely selfish thing to do, both on her part, and on the part of the directors and producers,’ one Twitter user fired. ‘There’s absolutely no positive way to spin an actress knowingly exposing hundreds of cast members and crew to COVID.’


A third fan insisted that the star ‘filming that dance scene while she had COVID is not impressive.’


‘It’s horrible. Absolutely callous disregard for her coworkers,’ the woman stated, before saying she hopes to see Ortega’s interview with NME ‘cited in a lawsuit.’ 


Others speculated ‘how many people got sick’ from that exposure and ‘how many people those people got sick.’


‘Jenna Ortega having COVID on set and working unmasked around other unmasked performers is not a flex,’ one Twitter user expressed. ‘She should not be praised for working while sick.’


‘The above the line crew could’ve possibly disabled or killed someone for their irresponsibility,’ they continued. Overall, many were outraged by the interview, which they felt came off as ‘bragging about working while super sick and waiting on her COVID test’ as if it was a ‘flex.’


The outcry comes in response to a recent interview, in which she revealed her dance scene was her ‘first day with COVID so it was awful to film.’


‘I woke up and – it’s weird, I never get sick and when I do it’s not very bad – I had the body aches. I felt like I’d been hit by a car and that a little goblin had been let loose in my throat and was scratching the walls of my esophagus,’ she described.



Wednesday has taken Netflix by storm since its pre-Thanksgiving release on November 23. The series is the first live-action adaptation of the Addams family in 24 years, and the first project to largely focus solely on Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega). So far, the show has received largely positive reviews from critics, nearly all of whom have especially singled out Ortega’s performance for praise. Ortega is the first Latina to portray Wednesday and she quickly won audiences over with the depth she gave the character, as well as her hilarious deadpan and goth spirit.


In addition to positive reviews, Wednesday has been raking in quite impressive viewership numbers. It broke the record for the most watched TV show on Netflix in a single week: In one week, Wednesday was watched for a total of 341.2 million hours, beating the previous record holder, Stranger Things, in a landslide. While Wednesday has lots to celebrate, one criticism is overshadowing the series a bit. Here’s everything you need to know about the Wednesday backlash.Shortly after Wednesday‘s release, social media users and some critics began accusing the series and executive producer Tim Burton (who also directed four episodes) of racism. The reason for this was the series’ questionable choice to cast the few Black actors in the show as villains or bullies. This trend held for all three of the show’s main or recurring Black actors—Joy Sunday, Iman Marson, and Tommie Earl Jenkins. Jenkins and Marson play father and son duo Noble and Lucas Walker, respectively, while Sunday plays Bianca, a student at Nevermore.

Viewers learn early on that these characters are antagonists. Bianca is the resident mean girl at Nevermore and quickly becomes Wednesday’s bully and nemesis. Additionally, it is revealed that Bianca uses her siren abilities to manipulate and coerce others, which is how she tricked her way into Nevermore. Desperate to keep her actions secret, she agrees to help her mother’s cultish “Morning Star” group, which uses manipulation to swindle their clients under the guise of teaching them self-help.

Lucas, a local from the town of Jericho, is also a major bully who disrupts the Nevermore dance with a cruel prank. Meanwhile, his father Noble is the shady mayor of Jericho who memorializes the town’s genocidal forefathers and covers up crimes to save face.
