The rumour went so far that even Depp’s representative had to issue a clarification that stated, “Mr Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever. He has never met her or spoken to her. He is not involved in any project with her, nor does he intend to be. He is appalled by these baseless and malicious rumours that are intended to harm his reputation and career.”
Jenna Ortega Credits Her Mother For Saving Her From Misconduct On Sets As A Child Star
In an interview with The New York Times, Ortega said that she was lucky to have never endured misconduct as a kid on sets because her mother “watched over me like a hawk.” She divulged that even though she hasn’t seen “Quiet on Set” about sexual misconduct on Nickelodeon sets her mother did. She said, “I think for her, it was more pain because she had seen the way that other children maybe weren’t protected or weren’t as looked after.” She later acknowledged in the interview that “child acting is strange.” “I see why my parents felt so hesitant about it because you’re putting a child in an adult workplace,” Ortega said.
