Jenna Ortega Reveals Why She Deleted Her X Account

“Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega revealed in a recent interview why she deleted her X (formerly Twitter) account. She says she had a disturbing experience with artificial intelligence as a teen when she came across morphed pornographic images of herself, something which led her to delete her X account. During a conversation on The Interview with The New York Times, she said it was a “terrifying” time for her.

When she was 12, Ortega recalled receiving a direct message (DM) on X (formerly Twitter) along with “an unsolicited photo of a man’s genitals”. “I used to have that Twitter account and I was told that, ‘Oh, you got to do it, you got to build your images and photos, and I already was in a confused state that I just deleted it.” The actor said the entire experience made her feel “disgusting and uncomfortable”. “That’s why I deleted it, because I couldn’t say anything without seeing something like that.”

Jenna expresses her hate for AI

“I hate A.I. 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.”

The child actor stated that AI should be used for good and progressive things and should be kept to that. “A.I. 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.”
