The star of the 8-episode series Wednesday was in London in the video as it showed her carefree attitude, seemingly unconcerned with how they were perceived by the public. The celebration was documented on camera. Her admirers, who held her to a higher standard, reacted with outrage and disappointment and that鈥檚 why she could be on the verge of cancellation.

The 20 year old has always been renowned for her flawless appearance, her unique edge and skills and most of her fans are teenagers. In as much as she has attracted large fan base, she traces her roots to Disney where she played the role of Harley Diaz in the series Stuck in the Middle (2016-2019). She embodied the role very well and that was her identity at the time.

 Many others felt that her self-indulgent behaviour in the video clip was borderline disgusting. The video has also prompted a bigger discussion about public figures’ expectations and the need to uphold a perfect reputation that is simply not possible. They are also human beings just like any other, they may not have the same lifestyle and status but vices are vices.

It is certain that the video will affect her career one way or another as it has spread through the social media channels, it has already affected how the public perceives her in her films. As the incident’s fallout settles, it serves as a reminder that celebrities are complex people who, like everyone else, experience moments of vulnerability and flaw.

No one is perfect and some of Jenna Ortega鈥檚 fans still have a long way to understand that it鈥檚 normal.  All the while, everyone waits impatiently to see if she can make comments on the same while making a huge come back.
