She said, "I was an unhappy person," felt "incredibly misunderstood," and expressed gratitude for fans acquired through Wednesday while pursuing creative fulfillment.
Ortega’s experience suggests ongoing challenges in managing public perception and personal growth as she continues acting in a long-term show playing a schoolgirl.
