The gothic halls of Wednesday have cracked wide open, revealing a rift between co-stars that’s darker than any Addams family curse. In a bombshell interview on the Armchair Expert podcast, Hunter Doohan – who plays Tyler Galpin, the barista-turned-hyde monster – unleashed a torrent of frustration about leading lady Jenna Ortega. “She’s really rude, really crude, and honestly unbearable,” Doohan said, voice tight with exasperation. “She keeps joking about setting me on fire. Like, repeatedly. And she calls me ‘LGBBQ’ – every single day on set. It’s not funny anymore.” The remarks, recorded last week and released Friday, have detonated across social media, splitting the Wednesday fandom into warring camps and thrusting Netflix’s $200 million franchise into yet another PR inferno.

The tension traces back to Season 2’s grueling Vancouver shoot, where Ortega’s method-style immersion as the deadpan Nevermore student clashed with Doohan’s lighter, improv-heavy approach. Insiders tell Variety that Ortega – fresh off directing Episode 4 and earning an Emmy nod for Season 1 – arrived with a “zero-tolerance” policy for flubbed lines and off-script banter. “Jenna runs the set like a morgue,” one crew member whispered. “Hunter tries to keep things fun, but she shuts it down. Hard.” The “LGBBQ” taunt, a twisted riff on Doohan’s real-life identity as a married gay man, allegedly began as a one-off during a blooper reel in 2023. “She saw him grilling veggie burgers at crafty and yelled, ‘Look at LGBBQ over there!’” a PA recounted. “Everyone laughed. Then she just… never stopped.”

Doohan, 31, detailed the escalation in the podcast: “First it was the grill thing. Then every time I walked on set – ‘Here comes LGBBQ!’ I told her it made me uncomfortable. She laughed and said, ‘Relax, it’s a joke.’ Then the fire stuff started. ‘I’m gonna light you up like a Pride float.’ ‘Careful, LGBBQ, don’t burn the burgers.’ I’d be in hyde makeup, sweating under 40 pounds of prosthetics, and she’d whisper, ‘One match and poof – barbecue.’ It’s not playful. It’s mean.” The actor, whose breakout role in Your Honor showcased quiet intensity, admitted the barbs chipped away at his confidence. “I started dreading call sheets. I love Tyler, but I was counting days until wrap.”

Ortega, 23, has built a brand on macabre humor – from slicing her arm open in X to choreographing her own Wednesday dance – but the line between character bleed and cruelty is now under a microscope. A leaked Slack message from director Tim Burton, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, shows him pleading with Ortega in March 2025: “Tone down the fire jokes with Hunter. Legal is twitchy.” Another note from showrunner Al Gough reads: “Jenna, ‘LGBBQ’ stays in the writers’ room. Not on set. We’re one take away from a lawsuit.” Yet, sources say Ortega bristled at the notes, reportedly snapping, “It’s banter. If he can’t handle Addams energy, that’s on him.”

The backlash was instantaneous. On X, #CancelJenna trended with 1.1 million posts, fueled by screenshots of Doohan’s podcast quotes and fan-captured BTS clips where Ortega can be heard yelling “LGBBQ!” mid-scene. LGBTQ+ advocacy group GLAAD issued a statement: “Mocking queer identity – even in jest – normalizes harm. Netflix must address this.” Meanwhile, Ortega’s defenders flooded #JennaIsWednesday with 800,000 counter-posts, arguing the jokes were “in-character” and that Doohan was “playing victim for clout.” One viral thread dissected Ortega’s SNL monologue, where she deadpanned about “roasting marshmallows on Hunter’s career” – a bit now reframed as foreshadowing cruelty.

Netflix, already reeling from The Witcher’s recast meltdown and Season 4’s 38% viewership plunge, moved swiftly. A spokesperson told Deadline: “We take all cast concerns seriously. Both Jenna and Hunter are valued members of the Wednesday family, and we’re facilitating mediation.” Behind the scenes, execs are scrambling: Season 3 scripts – set to film in Dublin starting January 2026 – reportedly include a Tyler-Ortega reconciliation arc, but reshoots are now on the table. “They can’t kill Tyler off; he’s the romantic foil,” an insider sighed. “But they also can’t have Jenna torching Hunter on camera. Literally.”

Ortega broke silence late Friday via Instagram Stories: a black screen with white text reading, “Dark humor is my love language. Never meant harm. Working it out privately. 🖤” No apology, no mention of Doohan. The post vanished after 20 minutes, but not before racking up 2.8 million screenshots. Doohan, meanwhile, doubled down on X: “I spoke my truth. Hope we can heal. Still love the show.” His husband, producer Fielder Jewett, posted a subtle show of support: a photo of Doohan in hyde makeup with the caption, “My monster. My hero. 🔥”

The Wednesday set has weathered storms before – Ortega’s COVID diagnosis in 2022, Burton’s mid-season exit rumors – but this feels existential. Season 2’s Nielsen peak of 252 million hours in Week 1 is a distant memory; early Season 3 projections hover at 180 million, with Parrot Analytics citing “cast chemistry fatigue” as a key drag. Co-star Percy Hynes White, axed amid unrelated allegations, reportedly texted Doohan: “Welcome to the club.” Emma Myers (Enid) stayed neutral, posting a wolf emoji – interpreted by fans as either solidarity with Doohan’s “monster” or a nod to Ortega’s “pack leader” status.

Industry watchers draw parallels to Don’t Worry Darling’s Harry Styles–Florence Pugh feud, but with higher stakes: Wednesday is Netflix’s biggest English-language launch ever. A source close to Gough and Miles Millar, the Smallville vets steering the ship, says they’re “praying for a Season 3 hug-it-out scene that feels organic.” Reshoots could cost $8 million, but killing the Tyler-Wednesday slow-burn romance risks alienating the “Wydnesday” shippers who drive 40% of TikTok engagement.

Doohan, repped by CAA, has fielded offers for three queer-led indies since the podcast drop – a silver lining, perhaps. Ortega, under WME, is locked into Beetlejuice 2 press and a secret Scream project. Their schedules won’t overlap until January, giving Netflix 60 days to broker peace. Burton, now attached to a Wednesday spinoff about Uncle Fester, reportedly told producers: “Let the kids sort it. Addamses don’t apologize – they hex.”

As Season 3 scripts tease a Hyde resurgence and Wednesday’s stalker arc, the real monster may be the rift itself. Fans flood Letterboxd with one-star “reviews” of Season 2, citing “toxic set vibes.” Petitions to recast Ortega (12,000 signatures) clash with counter-petitions to “protect Jenna’s vision” (18,000). The Wednesday Subreddit pinned a mod post: “No death threats. No slurs. Discuss the art, not the artists.” It was downvoted into oblivion.

In a franchise built on outcasts finding family, the irony is brutal: Two leads, both playing monsters, now tearing each other apart. Doohan’s final podcast words linger: “I just wanted to grill in peace.” Ortega’s silence – save for that fleeting Story – speaks volumes. Netflix’s mediation sessions begin Monday. Whether they end in a handshake or a hex remains the darkest mystery yet.
