People have been left in stitches over Jenna Ortega's mom's response after a video of the Wednesday actor smoking went viral.
Heaven forbid a celebrity should be caught doing something millions of other people in the world do as well.
Jenna Ortega caught the attention of fans after a video of the 20-year-old puffing away on a cigarette went viral online.
Yeah, fair enough, we all know smoking is awful for your health, but if anyone has a right to comment on Ortega smoking a cigarette it's her mom, who's gone about responding to the viral video of her daughter in the 'most mom way' possible.

The video in question was uploaded to Twitter on Wednesday (24 May) and shows Ortega chatting with a friend outside as she smokes what looks like a cigarette.
It didn't take long for the post to go viral, amassing tens of millions of views with thousands flooding to the comments throwing hissy fits over the former Disney channel actor making an unhealthy lifestyle choice. But everyone has a vice, right?
Ortega's mom has since responded to the video, taking to her Instagram story to share a meme - alongside a whopping 12 other posts - which have left social media users howling with laughter.
The first image features a picture of Gollum which sets the tone for the rest of what can only be described as basically a powerpoint.
The caption reads: "Don't believe those lies about cigarettes being bad for you. I've been smoking for most my 21 years and I feel great!"
Gollum is followed by 10 other smoking-related posts which go into the negative health effects of smoking and how the smell of smoke is 'repulsive'.
The penultimate of the 12 posts shared by Ortega's mom features a quote by Toan Lam: "NO MATTER who you are and how big you get, always SURROUND YOURSELF with people who will tell you the TRUTH."
The final post reads: "A mother is always a mother. She never stops worrying about her children, even when they are all grown up and have children of their own."
The passive aggression, the highlighting of some sobering facts, it's the most mom response ever and social media users are here for it.
One Reddit user wrote: "This is the most mom thing ever hahaha."
"I don't think this means she didn't say anything to Jenna, I think this is just classic passive aggressive mum stuff in addition to that," another added.
A third commented: "Not a whole presentation! She had time."
"This is HILARIOUS because I can see my mom doing this exact thing. In addition to publicly posting this she'd also send me 20 page long text messages about how bad smoking is. Lol," a fourth said.
And a final wrote: "I know people are saying she should have just sent this to her daughter in private but I kind of see this from another perspective. It could be that she understands many look up to her daughter and will possibly be influenced by her behavior as she’s reached many young people post-Addams fame.
"Maybe if she can’t get her daughter to stop, she at least wants to try and deinfluence teens and young adults who might try and emulate her? Just a thought."
