Jenna Ortega expressed regret for her past comments regarding script changes on the Wednesday set, admitting she felt unprofessional while altering lines she felt didn't fit her character. Reflecting two years later, she felt terrible about potentially disrespecting the writers. Ortega mentioned her tendency to overthink and suggested she could have simply framed her actions as improvisation. Series creator Tim Burton defended her, noting the scrutiny from media and the misrepresentation of her statements, which Ortega also found frustrating due to inaccuracies surrounding her quotes.
"I don't think I've ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday. Everything that [Wednesday] does, everything that I had to play, does not make sense for her character at all."
"Reflecting on the incident two years later, Ortega told THR she 'felt terrible' about her remarks and how the writers may have felt disrespected."
"In this new media world, people will find one thing you say and that's it. I just felt bad for her because I know her, and I know the media, and I know what happened."
"The amount of times I have seen headlines with quotes that I've never actually said is bizarre."
