Jenna Ortega filmed ‘Wednesday’ dance with Covid

Los Angeles| Actress Jenna Ortega is facing backlash after she confessed that she filmed the dance scene on the hit Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ while testing positive for Covid.

The actress made the confession during an interview. During the candid chat, she revealed that her infamous dance scene was filmed during her “first day with COVID so it was awful to film,” reports.

“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,” Jenna further described the symptoms. “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.”

Additionally, Jenna said she was given “medicine between takes” while “waiting on the positive result” of a COVID-19 test.

“I asked to redo it but we didn’t have time. I think I probably could have done it a bit better,” she said, after proudly revealing she “choreographed” her own moves.

Following the confession, social media critics were quick to criticise her decision to film the scene despite experiencing COVID symptoms. “It was dangerous, unethical, and extremely selfish thing to do, both on her part, and on the part of the directors and producers,” one person tweeted, “There’s absolutely no positive way to spin an actress knowingly exposing hundreds of cast members and crew to COVID.”

Another insisted that the star “filming that dance scene while she had COVID is not impressive.” The said person added, “It’s horrible. Absolutely callous disregard for her coworkers,” and said they hope to see Jenna’s interview.”
