Jenna Ortega faced backlash online after she greeted Malcolm McRae (Anya Taylor-Joy’s husband) in English, with some branding her a 'fake Latina.' In recent interviews, Jenna opened up about the “shame” she feels for not being a perfect representative of her Latinx roots. Although she has Mexican and Puerto Rican roots and was raised in a Latinx community, she struggles with feeling disconnected due to her lack of Spanish fluency and not being born in a Spanish-speaking country. Jenna admitted feeling envious of her mother's Spanish but stressed the importance of Latinx representation on screen, hoping to inspire others. Beetlejuice 2 Trailer: Jenna Ortega Accidentally Reawakens Michael Keaton’s Shape-Shifting Ghoul in Tim Burton's Sequel (Watch Video).
