Jenna Ortega 22, revealed in an interview with The Cut why he abandoned the “Panic” franchise. The actress acted in “Panic VI”, but ended up abandoning the recordings of the next feature in solidarity with the castmate Melissa Barrera .
“It had nothing to do with cachet or schedule conflict. There was all the controversy with Melissa and everything was crumbling. If Panic 7 would not be done with those people I love so much, so it didn’t seem to be the right decision to participate,” she said.
In 2023, Melissa Barrera was fired from panic because of social networking posts in Support to Palestine . In addition to Ortega, directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Oclpin also abandoned the project after the episode.
In the same interview, the star talked about the second season of “Wandinha” of which she is a producer. “I feel a little more comfortable now to say what I think,” she said.
Last year, Jenna Ortega was criticized after saying that she took freedom to mess with the “Wandinha” scripts without warning the team when she believed the story was not consistent with the character.
“I used my words very badly,” she said, explaining that she just meant that she improvised in some scenes. According to Ortega, the episode did not affect his relationship with executive producer and director Tim Burton or the creators of the series, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. “They trust me enough to know what Wandinha would think and do,” he said.
