'On My Block' star Jessica Marie Garcia talks Jasmine's sexuality and Ruby's fate in Season 2
If you are like most fans of Netflix’s ‘On My Block,’ you probably love alternatively hating on and getting irritated with Jasmine. The remarkable and outstanding Jasmine is played by the beautiful and talented Jessica Marie Garcia. However, she was barely tolerated by her "friends" and was misunderstood by them, to say the least.
Even for fans of the show, she is an acquired taste and, as Garcia puts it, she is not everyone’s cup of tea. Garcia spoke with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW) about her character and said, “She is actually more of a complex character than I have ever professionally played. Comedy stems from drama. She’s funny and loud because she’s trying to distract you from the walls she’s built around her. She wants to be liked and have friends. She leads in her sexuality because she feels like that's what she’s supposed to do to be liked.”
