Hunter Doohan Slams Rumors of Jealous Husband and Jenna Ortega Feud

As a journalistic expert providing a well-researched, analytical take with key insights and data, I’m Zoe Bennett, and I’m here to break down the latest celebrity gossip. The facts matter, and here’s what we know so far.

Hunter Doohan, the star of Netflix’s hit series Wednesday, has addressed rumors that his husband, Fielder Jewett, was jealous of his costar Jenna Ortega. The speculation started after Doohan missed the show’s season two premiere in London in July. According to Doohan, the rumors were completely unfounded and ridiculous.

In a preview of the September 9 episode of the I’ve Never Said This Before podcast, obtained by Us Weekly, Doohan shut down the rumors, saying, “I saw one rumor Jenna didn’t allow me to go, which is so not true.” He further clarified that his husband did not tell him not to attend the premiere because he was jealous of Ortega. “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,” Doohan said.

The 31-year-old actor expressed his frustration with the online rumor mill, explaining that it made him feel less inclined to engage with fans. “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 added. “Surely people aren’t believing this s–t?”

Doohan also noted that the fans of the show had been supportive of him overall. “The Wednesday fans, every interaction I’ve had with them in real life has been so great. And online [everything] is mostly positive,” he explained. “It’s not the fans of the show—there’s honestly been these weird videos on TikTok that have spread rumors about me and Jenna and Emma [Myers] and other cast members’ personal lives are so not true.”

This incident highlights the challenges celebrities face in maintaining their personal lives amidst intense media scrutiny. The spread of false rumors can be damaging, not only to the individuals involved but also to their relationships and professional reputations.

In addition to Doohan’s clarification, other celebrities have recently addressed rumors and misconceptions about themselves. Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles player, responded to a fan’s comment about his hygiene, tweeting in June 2024, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet….” He later doubled down on his comments, saying, “What kind of psychopath washes your feet?” on an episode of his and brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

Robert Pattinson, the Twilight star, also addressed a long-standing rumor about his childhood experience at the circus. Over a decade after he revealed that he saw a clown die in a car explosion during his first visit to the circus as a child, he admitted that it wasn’t true. “There was absolutely no hesitation at all [in my voice],” Pattinson recalled to The New York Times Style Magazine in a December 2024 interview.

Kim Kardashian, the SKIMS founder, got candid about how her grandma Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell influenced one intimate moment between her and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. During an October 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kim recounted how her grandma told her that having sex in front of the fireplace was a way to “really live life.”

The love and support within Mila Kunis and husband Ashton Kutcher’s tight-knit family, which includes their 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitri, is also noteworthy.

That wraps up today’s analysis. Stay informed, stay critical, and follow the facts.
