Is the photo of Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker legitimate?

However, it soon became clear that the viral photo was a hoax started by the NBA parody account, Buttcrack Sports. To make it convincing, the Twitter page has used a TMZ watermark all over it, HITC reported. A Twitter handle, @TBEBrandon, shared two photos of the respective stars and noted, “Devin Booker @ Vogue World: September 2022 Jenna Ortega @ Red Carpet Fashion Awards: 09.03.23 Photoshopped.”

A user then commented, “I figured.” The second one wrote, “What a relief!” A third user mentioned, “Yep, I knew I’d seen that outfit before.” The fourth one said, “My talent from being a tumblr kid is seeing a photoshopped celeb photo from a mile away, clocked the jenna ortega and devin booker photo IMMEDIATELY.” “They let everyone get verified and now misinformation is hard to tell. almost believed Devin Booker was dating Jenna Ortega,” a tweet noted.

‘I am too obsessed with my work’

Ortega recently told Elle Magazine that she was not seeing anyone currently. ‘The Fallout’ star said, “Maybe I am too obsessed with my work, but the idea of relationships stresses me out. And also being that vulnerable with someone and having to get to know someone that well and having someone see you for all that you are...My brain knows that I don’t need to think about that right now.”

“I am so fearful of disappointing the people in my life, or even people in public. I want to live up to people’s expectations, which is something that I need to get over, but I’m also scared that, I don’t know, maybe someone will get to know me too well and realize that I’m not all that,” she added.
