Aliyah Ortega signaled support with an Instagram “!!!” under a fan post urging people to stop speculating about Jenna Ortega’s body and health.
The post answered a wave of online discussion after a recent Esquire video interview, where viewers compared Jenna Ortega’s thinner appearance with older photos and clips.
The fan argued Ortega “doesn’t owe anyone an explanation,” calling for privacy and an end to intrusive questions about her personal life.
