Recently, rumors swirled about a possible romantic connection between Hollywood icon Johnny Depp and “Wednesday” actress Jenna Ortega. Speculation began when a gossip account, Deuxmoi, incorrectly reported that Depp and Ortega were seen together on a date and even hinted at a potential collaboration on “Beetlejuice 2.” Despite a significant age gap, with Ortega being 40 years Depp’s junior, the actress has now taken to social media to set the record straight and address these unfounded rumors.
Jenna Ortega firmly dismissed the dating rumors on her Instagram Story, labeling them as “ridiculous.” She expressed her disbelief by stating, “This is so ridiculous I can’t even laugh. I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”
In 2022, Jenna Ortega gained international recognition for her portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the Netflix horror comedy series “Wednesday.” Her performance in the series earned her nominations at prestigious award ceremonies, including the Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Furthermore, Johnny Depp’s representatives also weighed in on the situation, vehemently denying any romantic involvement or professional collaboration between Depp and Ortega. Their statement clarified, “Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever. He has never met her or spoken to her.” The statement further expressed Depp’s shock and dismay at the baseless and malicious rumors aimed at tarnishing his reputation and career.
Johnny Depp has remained a prominent figure in the media, particularly due to his high-profile defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. He successfully won the lawsuit, which centered on Heard’s 2018 Washington Post article in which she portrayed herself as a survivor of domestic abuse without naming Depp. The legal battle began after Heard filed for divorce in 2016, accusing Depp of physical abuse during their marriage, allegations he vehemently denied. Their divorce was finalized in 2017, but the legal battles surrounding their relationship continued.
Johnny Depp’s case against Amber Heard highlighted the importance of addressing defamation and abuse allegations responsibly and underscored the need for accurate reporting in such sensitive matters.
