JENNA Ortega has been defended by her fans after pictures emerged of her smoking.
Jenna, 20, was spotted enjoying a cigarette while out and about with fellow actress, Gideon Aldon, in Notting Hill, West London recently.
The two American actresses enjoyed a day out while enjoying drinks and having a smoke — despite a no-smoking sign above them.
The two were also spotted having a conversation while sitting at a table while taking a few selfies.
Jenna wore a see-through long-sleeved shirt with a blank tank top underneath as well as green cargo pants and boots.
The Wednesday star wore her hair in a ponytail with her bangs flowing in the wind and a pair of sunglasses on top of her head.

However, many of her fans are furious at the outrage and were quick to defend her on Twitter.
"I don’t get what’s the big deal with Jenna Ortega smoking a cig? She’s an independent human being. Let her do what she wants to," one person tweeted.
Another said: "Y’all really tryna cancel Jenna Ortega cuz she was smoking a cig? Wtf."
And a third fan pointed out: "I’m sure Jenna Ortega cares about you nobodies freaking out over her smoking a cigarette what will she ever do."
A fourth person commented: "why is everyone so disgusted by jenna ortega smoking? like 70% of the population smokes its nothing new, leave her alone lmao."
And someone else fumed: "Can we please stop talking about Jenna Ortega smoking a butt. Why the f**k do y’all care you’re all cringe."
A different person tweeted: "I like Jenna Ortega however I don't like smoking BUT It's her life bro. She could whatever she wants."
Jenna herself has yet to comment on the backlash. She is believed to be in London as production has started on a sequel to the hit 1988 movie Beetlejuice.
