Wednesday became a rage soon after its digital premiere on Netflix. The Jenna Ortega led show was hailed for its dramatic cinematography and viral dance moves apart from terrific portrayals. While fans are super excited for the sequel, producer Steven DeKnight has brutally slammed the leading actress and even called her “difficult” to work with. Will she be replaced? Scroll below for details!

It all began when Jenna appeared on the Armchair Expert Podcast on March 6. She detailed her character arc and confessed that the scriptwriting was not satisfactory enough. The actress went on to claim that she took the liberty to change her lines and even said “no” to plot points at times.

This seemed to have irked Steven DeKnight who called her out over sharing creative differences in public. The Wednesday producer ended up blaming Jenna age for what he calls an ‘immature’ thing to do while terming her toxic and unprofessional.

Absolutely! Again, I can't stress this enough: She's an amazing talent. It was just an unfortunate situation to expose creative differences publicly, and also I'll admit that writers are on edge because of the impending strike, myself included. A perfect storm. https://t.co/hQw6qBseIn
