Jenna Ortega Apologizes To Fan for Biting Their Personal Item: ‘So Sorry’ originally appeared on Parade.
Jenna Ortega was in character at a recent Wednesday season 2 event, and bit a piece of a fan’s belongings.
The horror-flick actress, 22, signed autographs outside the Wednesday Island Fan Event on Saturday, August 16, and accidentally bit the cap of a fan’s Sharpie while signing an autograph. An X user shared a clip of the interaction, as Jenna signed a phone case while wearing thick gloves that matched her striped Fendi dress. The Scream star was seemingly on autopilot mode until a fan asked if they could take a photo with her.
“Yeah, of course,” Jenna replied as she removed the marker cap from the side of her mouth. “I’m so sorry, I just bit your pen. What the f–k, I’m so sorry.”
The moment was definitely a highlight of her fans’ night as they giggled at Jenna’s mishap.
“Omg who knows what germs are on that random persons pen,” a person replied.
A fan came to Jenna’s defense, writing, “She human too.”
Jenna looked fabulous at the Wednesday event in Sydney, Australia. The California native donned a burnt orange and black-striped Fendi dress that featured thin straps and a low backline. Jenna paired the garment with a wolverine-like faux fur coat.
Wednesday season 2, part one, premiered on Netflix on August 6. Part 2 will premiere on September 3.
Jenna’s portrayal of the beloved creepy and kooky Addams Family character has won over the hearts of the Wednesday audience and cast.
“It’s great watching Jenna, because she keeps track of the script in this way that she understands the logic of her character,” Fred Armisen, who portrays Uncle Fester, told People on July 30. “It’s not like she just shows up and it’s like, ‘I’m just gonna do this character.’ She’s like, ‘Why does this moment count?’ So she’s very meticulous, and it makes me want to be more like her.”
