Jenna Ortega graces the cover of Latin American Vogue in a striking and bold ensemble. The “Wednesday” star is featured wearing a black mini-skirt and a white corset-style top, which accentuated her slender figure. She accessorized the look with a large black bow in her hair and a black choker necklace.
Beyond the glamour of the photoshoot, the 22-year-old actress, who is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent, opened up about facing mistreatment in the film industry during the early stages of her career. She revealed that for several years, she had to endure pressure on set and felt she had no voice in those situations.
“It terrifies me, knowing what it’s like to not have a say. I never want to be in that situation again,” she stated. She added that being young and assertive is particularly difficult for many people, especially women.
While Ortega did not specify which project involved this difficult dynamic, she explained that she now feels a duty to speak openly about her experiences within the industry. “I have to use my platform in the most professional, effective, and kind way possible,” she said. The actress also noted that she has become more reserved and deliberate with her words.
Ortega also expressed feeling a profound sense of responsibility toward her Latino audience. She described the importance of her role, recalling meaningful encounters with young Latina fans and their mothers, which made her realize how significant her visibility is for the community.
