In a recent interview with The New York Times, Ortega opened up about inappropriate DMs sent to her when she was a 12 year-old actress on “Jane the Virgin,” as well as pornographic AI-generated images of herself.
“I hate A.I. I mean, here’s the thing: A.I. could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That’s beautiful. Let’s keep it to that,” Ortega said. “Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It’s terrifying. It’s corrupt. It’s wrong.”
When asked to clarify further, Ortega said, “One of the first — actually the first D.M. that I ever opened myself when I was 12 was an unsolicited photo of a man’s genitals, and that was just the beginning of what was to come.”
The “Wednesday” star went on to explain that she used to have a Twitter account because it was expected of her as a way of building her “image,” but that the influx of “absurd images” skyrocketed with her rising stardom, forcing her to delete it.
“It was disgusting, and it made me feel bad. It made me feel uncomfortable,” said Ortega to The New York Times. “Anyway, that’s why I deleted it, because I couldn’t say anything without seeing something like that. So one day I just woke up, and I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t need this anymore.’ So I dropped it.”
