Last week, Jenna Ortega was photographed smoking a cigarette while out with fellow actor Gideon Aldon.
The 20-year-old was filmed out in Notting Hill, London, having a drink and a smoke despite there being a “no smoking” sign above her, per the US Sun.
Several of Jenna’s fans expressed their disappointment in the actor after seeing the photos and videos of her smoking.
“legit don't understand why anybody chooses to actively smoke cigarettes,” someone wrote.
Meanwhile, others defended Jenna against the backlash, noting that she’s an adult who is more than capable of making her own decisions.
“People really think celebrities owe them something. Now they are mad at Jenna Ortega for smoking a cigarette???” one person wrote.
People really think celebrities owe them something. Now they are mad at Jenna Ortega for smoking a cigarette??? Why are people trying to control and micromanage other people’s lives??? Her job is to act and entertain on screen. Their personal life is NOT your business.
