Depp is no stranger to speculation being made about him. There have been several rumors that he has had to deny over the years and many that he simply refuses to acknowledge. While these are not surprising, there was one specific speculation that was disgusting in several ways.
Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega in a Relationship?
Jenna Ortega has had a very impressive and successful career.

While there can be some very good things that come with being famous, one of the worst things to come out of fame is rumors. During a recent interview with BuzzFeed, the actress was asked about the worst rumor that she had heard of herself. Interestingly enough, she mentioned the time when the internet was convinced that she was involved with Johnny Depp.
The craziest rumour about me is probably that I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp and I wanted everybody to leave us alone. It’s so insane to me. I never spoke on that. I never said anything like that.
On top of sources claiming that Ortega wanted the world to leave her alone, several of her co-stars also thought that the two personalities were involved with each other. The actress confessed that she found the claims to be completely outlandish and revealed the truth about the entire situation.

Not only were Ortega and Depp never involved in a relationship, but she revealed that she did not even know the actor personally in any way possible.
Fans Are Filled With Disgust
It is safe to say that rumors about Jenna Ortega and Johnny Depp being involved with each other were very bizarre. The fact that false sources were claiming that two people, who had an almost 40-year-age gap between them were intimately involved was disgusting, to say the least.
