The Hollywood Reporter

“People have called me Mj ever since I was a child because I got it from Spider-Man, but at this point in my life, becoming a grown woman, I need people to see the person that is behind Mj. I want them to know that there’s more to me than just the characters I play,” says the Emmy-nominated Rodriguez, referencing her Pose character Blanca and the upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series on which she’ll star opposite Maya Rudolph, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “That was why I am now going by Michaela Jaé. I want people to see who I truly am.”
