You might have noticed Jenna Ortega deleted her Twitter/X account long before Wednesday even started, but she had a “disgusting” reason. The Wednesday star is a Hollywood A-Lister who uses social media fleetingly. Although you’ll occasionally see her on Instagram – most recently promoting her appearance in Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Taste’ music video – she hasn’t been on X/Twitter in years.
It’s news that only came to light in 2022, when it was revealed she deleted her account. However, the reason why remained unknown..
. until now. Speaking to The New York Times, Ortega explained that the “disgusting” use of AI meant she never wanted to return to the platform.
“I hate AI. I mean, here’s the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed.
That’s beautiful. Let’s keep it to that,” she said. “Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No.
It’s terrifying. It’s corrupt. It’s wrong.
” “And that was just the beginning of what was to come. I used to have that Twitter account and I was told that, ‘Oh, you got to do it, you got to build your image,'” she added. Ortega also described an “influx of absurd images and photos” that led to the account’s deletion prior to 2022.
