Aliyah Ortega commented with an exclamation, agreeing, and then shared a lengthy comment. "Yes, it’s completely okay to be concerned when you see certain things, but assuming or making accusations without knowing the full story is a different matter," she commented.
"If anyone truly loves and cares about her, they should be able to say, “Thank you for all the amazing projects you’ve brought us this year, but we also want you to take a month or even two months off to rest, recharge, and focus on yourself,” she added.
She shared that the audience should appreciate the actress and not bash her. "We appreciate everything she has done and continues to give to her fans, but sometimes the best way to show love and support is to remind someone that it’s okay to slow down, take a break, and prioritize themselves. Thank you for everything you’ve given us. We appreciate you more than you know," she concluded.
Her comment came after a fan shared a lengthy post defending the 23-year-old actress. The fan wrote, "She has every right to make whatever decisions she feels are best for herself without being judged, discriminated against, or subjected to unnecessary speculation."
