Producer of Wednesday Steven DeKnight verbally and physically abuses Jenna Ortega for airing their creative disagreements in public.

Shortly after its Netflix internet premiere, Wednesday went viral. Together with excellent acting, the Jenna Ortega-led programme received praise for its dramatic cinematography and trending dance movements. The lead actress has received harsh criticism from producer Steven DeKnight, who even described her as “difficult” to deal with, despite the fact that fans are really excited for the sequel. She’ll be replaced, right?

On March 6, Jenna made her debut on the Armchair Expert Podcast. She described the development of her character and acknowledged that the scriptwriting needed improvement. The actress continued by saying that she occasionally had the freedom to alter her lines and even say “no” to plot issues.

Steven DeKnight seemed to take offence to this since he called her out for disclosing her artistic differences in public. The Wednesday producer ultimately cited Jenna’s age for what he considers a “immature” action, branding her poisonous and unprofessional in the process.

Steven DeKnight reacted, “She’s (Jenna Ortega) young, so may be doesn’t know any better (but she should.) She should also ask herself how she would feel if the showrunners gave an interview and talked about how difficult she was and refused to perform the material.”

The Wednesday producer continued, “This kind of statement is beyond entitled and toxic. I love her work but life’s too short to deal with people like this in this business.”

Is Steven DeKnight implying that Jenna Ortega will be replaced on Wednesday? His most recent tweet suggests this.

On Twitter, critics have been attacking Steven in the meanwhile, and he is aggressively responding.

Absolutely! Again, I can’t stress this enough: She’s an amazing talent. It was just an unfortunate situation to expose creative differences publicly, and also I’ll admit that writers are on edge because of the impending strike, myself included. A perfect storm. https://t.co/hQw6qBseIn
