Hunter Doohan, known for his role in Netflix‘s Wednesday, has publicly denied rumors connecting his personal life with his professional relationship with Jenna Ortega. The actor shut down speculation surrounding his absence from the second season premiere held in London in July, addressing false claims about tension involving his costar and husband, Fielder Jewett. Doohan used the platform of the I’ve Never Said This Before podcast to clarify these misleading stories.
He categorically rejected the notion that either Jenna Ortega or his husband blocked his attendance at the event.
“I saw one rumor Jenna didn’t allow me to go, which is so not true,”
Hunter stated. He also dispelled the jealousy angle, saying,
“There was a rumor that my husband didn’t let me go because he was jealous of Jenna and I. I was like, ‘You guys, can we please be so f–king for real right now?’”
He emphasized his husband’s non-involvement with the premiere decisions, adding,
“My husband, for the record, did not tell me not to go to the Wednesday premiere because he’s jealous of Jenna and I. Grow up.”
The Impact of Rumors on Hunter Doohan‘s Engagement with Fans
The actor expressed frustration over how baseless tabloid gossip influences his interaction with fans and the public. Hunter shared the emotional toll misinformation takes on him, observing that sometimes it prompts him to guard his personal life more closely.
“Sometimes it makes me want to protect myself more and not share anything from my personal life, and sometimes I want to comment on [it],”
he remarked, questioning whether audiences actually believe such claims:
“Surely people aren’t believing this s–t?”
Despite the negative noise online, Hunter praised the genuine support he has received from the Wednesday fanbase.
“The Wednesday fans, every interaction I’ve had with them in real life has been so great. And online [everything] is mostly positive,”
he said. Nonetheless, he noted the persistence of misleading TikTok videos spreading falsehoods involving not just him and Jenna Ortega, but other cast members like Emma Myers, underscoring that these stories are not truthful.
