Jenna Ortega, the 20-year-old star of the new show Wednesday, has firmly denied the reports that she is dating the 60-year-old actor Johnny Depp.
The rumors started after the gossip account DeuxMoi said that the two had been seen together and that they might work together on Beetlejuice 2. This was revealed by the NME.
Ortega didn’t waste any time setting the record straight. She went on her Instagram Story and called the relationship claims “so ridiculous I can’t even laugh.”
She went on to say, “I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”
In a statement for Johnny Depp, his representative also strongly denied that the “baseless” reports were true and said that Depp and Ortega do not know each other personally or professionally.
The spokesperson said, “Mr. Depp has nothing to do with Ms. Ortega, personally or professionally.
He’s never talked to her or met her. He is not working on anything with her and has no plans to start.
He is disgusted by these false rumors that are meant to hurt his image and career.
