Jenna Ortega is the newest obsession of fans who have been sharing their love for her via viral TikTok videos and imitations of the dance. The young actress took the world by storm the moment she stepped in as the deadpan teenager in the Addams Family spin-off series Wednesday. People on social media have made it evident that their life revolves around the Scream queen. You might remember how they went crazy after a Twitter user joked about Pete Davidson’s unpredictable dating life.

All the Ortega fans instantly came in defense, asking the comedian to stay away from their beloved celebrity. Even they bluntly warned him to not make her the next target of his charms that had already captured many beauties of the industry. And just when that battle started to cool down, this iconic incarnation of Wednesday is once again stuck in a much unlikely controversy with Kanye West. However, there is nothing to worry about as fans stand strong beside Ortega amidst antisemitic claims.

According to them, the website that she tagged is promoting “extremist propaganda,” and it is against Jewish people. “The problem is that, like millions of other well-meaning Americans, she has no real understanding of antisemitism and therefore is unlikely to recognize it in at least some of its forms,” the writer said.
