Jenna Ortega is speaking her mind by calling out how she is wrongly understood in public as her career skyrockets.
In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, she expresses that she has felt "incredibly misunderstood" in the Hollywood industry.
"I think that's part of my struggle with that side of the job, because you feel incredibly misunderstood," the Wednesday actress says.
She continues, "It's almost to a point where it feels like your name doesn't belong to you. I almost don't even resonate with it anymore."
"I hate assumptions, and a big part of this job is that people are going to make assumptions about you," she notes.
Moreover, the Scream star also reflected on how her public experience was often varied.
"Sometimes you go out, and it's a mess," she notes. "And other times, I could be walking for hours, and no one gives a ****. If you really want to go unseen, you can do it."
Meanwhile, Wednesday is renewed for season three ahead of the release of season two. It is split into two parts; the first will be released on August 6, and the second one will be out on September 3.
