The first comment on Breaking News Today’s Facebook post links to an article published by the website Luxury.amazingtoday (archived here ) on October 11, 2024, describing a video in which actress Jenna Ortega admits to having had relations with the rapper known as P. Diddy or Sean Combs in exchange for her starring role in the television series Wednesday and $45 million.

However, the story does not provide links to the alleged video or documentary evidence of the allegation. Lead Stories conducted a search for news and reports under the keywords “Jenna Ortega” and “Diddy,” in combination with “relationships” and “Wednesday” on Google (archived here ) and there are no authentic documentary results or reputable agencies that have published this story. Only duplicates of the same story published on Luxury.amazingtoday and shared by US Breaking News Today social media accounts .

Jenna Ortega’s official website ( archived here ) and her official networks on Instagram (archived here ) , X (archived here ) or Facebook (archived here ) also did not yield any results related to the accusation.

The post also includes an image of Ortega and Diddy as evidence for the allegation. Lead Stories used TrueMedia.org’s program, currently in beta testing, to analyze this photograph and through a variety of tools, TrueMedia found there is substantial evidence of manipulation (see full report here ) (archived here ).

The rumor claiming that Jenna Ortega secured her lead role in Wednesday by sleeping with Sean “Diddy” Combs is entirely false. This baseless claim, which included a supposed leaked video, gained attention through a misleading Instagram post. However, there is no such video, and no credible evidence supports this allegation. The post likely surfaced due to coincidental media buzz about both Ortega and Diddy, including Diddy’s unrelated legal issues and the promotion of Wednesday Season 2.
