Barcelona fan for a reason

Harrison Ford, The Twilight Cast, The Glee Cast, and now Jenna has the torch. love it when people hate what they're doing

We turn up on Friday's tho

This is starting to make me mad. Like girl please 😭

You might think we like him, yup.

I think that's a requirement for playing the character.

She'd certainly stiffen up the back four

It's very Wednesday of her to not like her own show.

i only watched Wednesday for her anyway

Some comments just reveal that they never read beyond the headline. Stuff like this is how rumors are made.

yall it's because she wanted to try branching out to film and didn't wanna get tied down in another tv show 😭😭 this headline haha

i wish she did. sick of hearing and seeing the boring mfer

I feel bad for all the actresses who rly wanted this role but got rejected

Cut to her team saying “DO IT DO IT DO IT”

We too try turning down Monday. This shit never works.

Because she prefers Friday.

For the sake of humanity, glad she didn't.

I try that every week, but with Mondays

And she has earned my respect

She really hates Wednesday doesn’t she 🥲 I’ve only seen her talk shit about the series lol

How do you TRY to turn down an offer? Don't you just... turn down an offer?

Jenna giving Robert Pattinson vibes. But seriously Wednesday wasn't perfect. There is that no needed love triangle and ooc Also show stole attention from other good series which is 1899 show Everyone go watch it now if you missed it or didn't finish it

I would do anything for her

her talking about how shit the writing is and how not i’m character wednesday was at some parts 💀

nem ela aguenta essa série

She couldn’t resist the chance to play alongside Barry Bannan

What was she doing before?

How do you… fail to decline a job? What made her agree to do it?

honestly tho with all the hate remakes are getting she was probably a bit anxious

Turn down for what?

I try that with Mondays and didn't work either.

Waiting for her to stop turning me down next

How do actors turn down roles dawg you don’t want a job?

She at this point is so big she can do anything she wants. Not even acting. She could start music and make millions as well. She does not need Wednesday at all anymore.
