Jenna Ortega’s Sister Reacts to Public Discourse Over ‘Wednesday’ Star’s Appearance

A recent video interview with 'Esquire' has led to a wave of online commentary about Ortega's health and body.

Jenna Ortega’s sister, Aliyah Ortega, has spoken out about the public's increasing concern over her sister’s appearance. Earlier this week, Jenna appeared in an Esquire video where some fans commented on her thin appearance and expressed worry for her health. Aliyah addressed the public's comments in response to a fan's lengthy defense of her sister on Instagram.

The fan wrote, "She doesn’t owe anyone an explanation her life is her life, and her body belongs to her. She has every right to make whatever decisions she feels are best for herself without being judged, discriminated against, or subjected to unnecessary speculation." Aliyah’s response included exclamation points, which only intensified the speculation.

Recent stars like Ariana Grande have also faced public scrutiny over their looks. Grande recently announced taking a break from appearances following her Eternal Sunshine tour, citing the constant public scrutiny she has faced. Grande expressed that the announcement was not impulsive, but rather a decision she had quietly made a long time ago.
