Despite is record breaking success, the show did get some backlash after she revealed she had covid during her memorable dance scene in the series, “They were giving me medicine between takes because we were waiting on the positive result,” she told NME. While some people tried to criticize Ortega, many said if anyone was to blame, it was production.
Even though she had COVID, the scene ended up being a major success, going viral, with celebrities like Lady Gaga, Camila Cabello, and fans recreating the iconic moment, which she choreographed herself. “I choreographed that myself!” Ortega said. “I’m not a dancer, and I’m sure that’s obvious. I’d gotten the song about a week before, and I just pulled from whatever I could.”
