Jenna Ortega asks fans to stop mistreating ‘Wednesday’ dolls in viral TikTok trend

Jenna Ortega has urged fans to stop mistreating plush Wednesday dolls.

It comes after TikTok users posted various clips of people going into shops and messing around with the dolls, by turning out their hair so that the forehead is bare and the character looks bald.

One department store even put a poster up saying: “Do not flip Wednesday’s hair, you will be asked to leave”.

The trend has forced Ortega to step in and urge users to stop. “Please don’t,” she commented on one video.

It comes after Netflix recently shared a new teaser trailer for Wednesday season two.

The series, which is currently being filmed in Dublin, Ireland, will arrive on the streaming platform in 2025.

It features some exclusive behind-the-scenes shots with the main cast members – including Ortega (Wednesday), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair) and Luis Guzmán (Gomez Adams).

It also cuts to moments of director Tim Burton working on set and includes a voiceover of Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Adams) saying: “This season is going to be bigger and more twisted than you can ever imagine.”

Other scenes include Ortega’s Wednesday saying “let’s play dolls” while holding a huge knife, adding: “If we show you any more your eyes would bleed…and I’m not that generous.”

Wednesday has become a huge success for Netflix, being streamed for a total of 341.2million hours and beating the record previously held by Stranger Things.

In a recent interview, director Tim Burton also said the record-breaking series stopped him from wanting to retire, and Ortega was recently spotted at a Chappell Roan gig in Dublin.
