Jenna Ortega maintains a sense of doubt regarding the online rumours linking her to Johnny Depp.

Jenna Ortega and Johnny Deep

The actress took part in a BuzzFeed dog interview series as part of her film promotion. Ortega playfully alluded to Beetlejuice when asked about the swirling rumours in August 2023 about her alleged romantic involvement with Depp, who was 61 years old at the time.

“You won’t believe the crazy rumours people spread about me,” exclaimed Ortega, a 21-year-old. “One of the wildest ones was about me being in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp. Can you imagine? It’s just ridiculous how people love to gossip and invade our privacy. All I wanted was for everyone to give us some space.” “I wished for everyone to mind their own business.” From where I stand, it’s just impossible to understand. “I never mentioned that, and I never made any comments even remotely resembling that.”

Furthermore, she remarked, “I found it quite amusing,” even though it is common knowledge that articles often fabricate their own claims.

Ortega mentioned that Richard E. Grant had enquired about a rumour during their time working together on the set. “He approached me and casually asked about my connection with Johnny, which caught me off guard since I have no familiarity with that individual,” I chuckled in response. 

According to NME, the social media account DeuxMoi, known for spreading celebrity news, shared a rumour in late August 2023 about Ortega and Depp dating. This piece of information was circulated with the clear motive of attracting attention.

During the same time period, NME mentioned a post that had been taken from Instagram Stories, claiming it was from Ortega. Did you hear what was said in that post? It’s absolutely absurd, I can’t even find it amusing. Throughout my entire life, I’ve never had the opportunity to collaborate with or meet Johnny Depp. It would be greatly appreciated if you could refrain from spreading inaccurate details and leave us be.

According to articles published at the time by both the National Media Exchange (NME) and the Huffington Post, a representative for Johnny Depp denied the rumour by issuing a statement. In the statement, he made it clear that he has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever. It seems that Johnny Depp and Ms. Ortega are not involved in any kind of relationship, according to this statement.

They’ve never had the opportunity to chat or be introduced. He’s never had the opportunity. According to the statement released in various sources, he is currently not collaborating with her on any project, and has no plans to do so in the future. “He is deeply disturbed by these unfounded rumours that aim to tarnish his image and professional standing,” the speaker was quoted as saying. “These rumours are completely baseless.”
