It is no secret that Brown has remained quite discreet about her personal life. In a world where people constantly update their life on social media, she likes to keep it low-key. For years she has been bullied by haters for making independent choices at a young age. But it seems that she isn’t the only Netflix face who has struggled with this dark side of being a famous personality.
Jenna Ortega, whose career exploded after the insane success of the horror drama series Wednesday, recently opened up about its consequences. The official page of Variety recently posted a clip from the sit-down interview, featuring the 20-year-old star. It showed the teary actress talking to Elle Fanning about the toxic traits of social media. The actress revealed even after she became famous with this show people thought she might not fit in because she didn’t have enough followers.
The Scream Queen poured her heart out saying social media is a manipulative game and it is harmful for people like her who are exposed to it. “They see your vulnerability and twist it in a way that you don’t always expect. It’s so strange. Sorry, I didn’t mean to do this,” the X star said weeping.
It is unfortunate to see these talented faces feel worthless being targeted by people who don’t see the hard work they put in to reach this level. However, the young actor can save herself from all this pain if she does this one thing Brown did for her peace.

The young superstar who once feared people has become fearless over the years. At this point, Millie Bobby Brown does not think much about what people would say and instantly slams them back if they try to berate her. This is one of the most powerful traits that the 19-year-old has learned during her time in the entertainment world.
Not to mention, she also once revealed how she constantly switches off social media so all the hate does not affect her mental health. Thus, this might be the lesson that Jenna Ortega needs to follow to keep her mind away from these things.
