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," she said.</p>.<p>When she was 12, Ortega recalled receiving a direct message (DM) on X (formerly Twitter) along with "an unsolicited photo of a man’s genitals".</p>.How the Venice Film Festival became an 'Oscar launchpad'.<p>"I used to have that Twitter account and I was told that, 'Oh, you got to do it, you got to build your image'. I ended up deleting it about two, three years ago because the influx after the show had come out — these absurd images and photos, and I already was in a confused state that I just deleted it."
