In a newly resurfaced clip, Wednesday star Jenna Ortega opened up about a hilariously awkward memory from seventh grade — and left fans stunned when she revealed that her crush at the time was actually a girl.
Jenna shared that while the two were sitting face-to-face, joking and chatting, she suddenly started feeling unwell. Trying to play it cool, she rested her head on her book, pretending to read. When her crush teased her, asking how she could possibly read like that, Jenna confidently lied, saying she always read in that position.
But just moments later, things took a chaotic turn. As she lifted her head to laugh, her mouth began watering uncontrollably. Before her crush could react, Jenna quickly motioned for her to stop talking, dashed to the trash can, and threw up all the bananas she’d eaten that morning — in front of her crush. “It was a disgusting amount,” she admitted, laughing at the mortifying memory.
Fans flooded social media with surprise and amusement — not only over the story itself, but over Jenna’s candid revelation that her middle-school crush was a girl. Many praised her honesty and humor, calling the clip “peak Jenna energy” and “proof she’s always been unapologetically herself.
