The writers' strike has found a new target after the strike of decamping WGA members have mocked Wednesday Addams star Jenna Ortega.

The trolling came after Ortega's controversial comments about the writing on the Netflix hit series Wednesday. The artist claimed that she helped improve the writing on her show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"BoJack Horseman" writer Nick Adams made a dig against Ortega in a tweet, saying that she should be back from "afternoon shift on the picket line."

 "The Bear" writer Karen Joseph Adcock retweeted Adams's tweet and replied, "See you at the line, Jenna."

There was also a picket line sign reportedly from "House Party" writer Brandon Cohen, saying that Ortega "will have nothing to punch up" without writers.

Meanwhile, some Ortega fans were quick to defend her on social media, saying that the actress has been made a "scapegoat for union issues" that have nothing to do with her.

Ortega made the comments when she was featured in a March episode of the "Armchair Expert" podcast.

Jenna Ortega Rewriting Lines for 'Wednesday'

During her appearance on the podcast episode, she revealed that she would "go off script" while filming the Tim Burton-produced and directed Netflix series.

Ortega said that everything Wednesday Addams did "makes no sense for her character at all." She noted that it was the reason why she chose to change the script on a whim.

Complex reported that Ortega admitted that her approach was "borderline unprofessional," adding that it was the first time she had to put her foot down on set in terms of her character.

The line that she refused to say was about the dress she was supposed to wear in one of the series's episodes. The line was supposed to be Ortega saying, "I love it," and it will be followed by the line, "Ugh, I can't believe I said that."

Ortega said that she grew very protective of her character, saying that one cannot lead a story and "have no emotional arch" because it would be "boring," as cited by Variety.

"Wednesday" earned applause and ranks behind only "Stranger Things 4" as the video streaming platform's most-watched English-language series.

WGA Writers Strike

The writers' strike started last Tuesday, May 2, after the union's proposals to give entertainment writers fair wages and decent work conditions. Those requests were ignored by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which was the organization representing Hollywood's biggest studios.

As a result of the WGA strike, the share values of several entertainment companies plummeted, with a collective loss of $10 billion for brands such as Paramount Global, Comcast, and AMC Networks, according to Collider.

Companies such as Netflix, Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery remained stable and increased the value of their shares slightly.

Vulture reported that the strike has been discussed for at least six months or some degree longer, resulting in the slowdown of production in anticipation of a strike.

Hollywood studios can produce the script, but there will be no writer standing by to do production rewrites.
