dailyloe.com – Actress Jenna Ortega is facing significant online backlash over rumored ties to musician Elias Ronnenfelt. The controversy stems from past allegations against his band, Iceage. Fans are criticizing her choices on social media platform X.
Dating rumors between Ortega and Ronnenfelt began in October 2025. This followed her appearance in his music video for the song ‘Mona Lisa’. They were recently seen together at a Dublin pub on March 22.
A fan video from the pub spread quickly online. Critics then brought up historical controversies involving Ronnenfelt’s punk band. Iceage has faced past accusations of right-wing associations.
Netizens claim the band allowed fans to shout ‘Sieg Heil’ at shows. This slogan was historically used by Nazis. The band has denied holding right-wing sympathies.
Elias Ronnenfelt created controversial art for Iceage at age eighteen. The art included symbols linked to neo-Nazis and fascism. He later addressed this in a 2021 Pitchfork interview.
Ronnenfelt stated he was ‘dumbfounded’ by the criticism. He said the symbols were copied from the film ‘Roller Blade’. He claimed he did not know their connections.
The musician clarified Iceage’s stance in the interview. He said the band is not right-wing. They do not have any sympathies towards such ideologies.
Ronnenfelt was also asked about a festival booking. His festival included a band named ‘White N-word’. That band was known for violence and blackface performances.
He said he was unaware of the band’s actions. He discovered them through contacts in Antifa activism. This has added to the ongoing scrutiny of his past.
The online reaction highlights intense fan scrutiny of celebrity associations. It also revisits past controversies in the music industry. The situation continues to develop on social media.[]
