American actress Jenna Ortega recently took to social media to address the swirling speculations surrounding her alleged romantic involvement with actor Johnny Depp. The rumors had been fuelled by a celebrity gossip account boasting two million followers, which hinted at a possible connection between the two stars, potentially linked to the sequel of Tim Burton's iconic film, "Beetlejuice."
In the highly anticipated sequel, Ortega is slated to play the daughter of Winona Ryder's character, adding fuel to the rumor mill. However, Ortega wasted no time setting the record straight, dismissing the dating allegations as nothing short of "ridiculous." She passionately implored her followers to cease the spread of such unfounded falsehoods.
In a recent Instagram Story, the "Wednesday" star unequivocally stated, "This is so ridiculous I can't even laugh. I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone." Ortega's heartfelt plea put an end to the romantic conjecture that had been making waves in the entertainment industry.
Echoing Ortega's sentiments, a representative for Johnny Depp swiftly dispelled the dating rumors. The spokesperson categorically stated that the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" star had "no personal or professional relationship" with Ortega, and the two had never crossed paths or engaged in any form of communication. Furthermore, the representative affirmed Depp's complete lack of involvement in any project associated with Ortega, asserting that he had no intentions of pursuing such collaborations. Depp's spokesperson also expressed the actor's dismay at the baseless and malicious rumors, suggesting that they were concocted with the intent of damaging his reputation and career.
It is important to note that these rumors began circulating shortly after Johnny Depp's defamation trial involving his ex-wife, Amber Heard, came to a close. The trial had garnered significant media attention, and the dating speculations emerged as a surprising twist in the aftermath.
In the world of entertainment, where rumors often gain traction swiftly, Jenna Ortega's forthright response and Johnny Depp's unequivocal denial have put an end to the unfounded gossip, allowing the actors to focus on their respective careers without the weight of baseless allegations hanging over them.
