Rumors regarding Depp and Ortega began to surface after the gossip blog Deuxmoi disclosed that the two had been spotted together during Beetlejuice 2 production.
The X actress has already talked about her experiences dealing with “toxic” and “manipulative” trolls on social media and how she deals with them.
During Variety’s Actors on Actors series, Ortega addressed Maleficent star Elle Fanning, saying, “Social media, what it does to anyone our age, it’s such a comparing game.”
It has an impact on bandwagoners’ mentalities. It is quite misleading.
She went on to explain how Wednesday raised her visibility on social media and thus increased the number of trolls she received.
“They see your vulnerability and twist it in a way that you don’t always expect,” Ortega continued, clearly moved.
It’s quite strange. I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to offend. It is really difficult to balance.
“Because it is impossible to be truthful without jeopardizing your security and well-being? It’s easy to feel a little out of control.
But right now, the media is mostly focused on Ortega’s love status—especially in light of the charges made by Johnny Depp.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Ortega denied the accusations, claiming that she has never even met Depp.
“This is so ridiculous that I’m not even laughing,” the woman cried out. “I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please quit circulating false information and leave us alone.
Along with Ortega, the representative for the Edward Scissorhands actor has refuted the accusations.
In an interview, the representative said to NME, “Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever.” He has never met her or spoken with her.
He is not currently working on any project with her, nor does he intend to be. He is disgusted by these malicious and baseless rumors that are spread to harm his reputation and career.
such ends the rumors of such kind.
It also appears to disprove speculations that Johnny Depp will appear in Beetlejuice 2, which is scheduled for release in September.
