JoJo Siwa has responded to Miley Cyrus’ post about her romance with Chris Hughes, admitting that the comment was not ‘what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week.’
Miley ignited outrage earlier this week after she joked about JoJo’s sexuality amid the dancer’s newfound relationship with Love Island star Chris.
The Party in the USA singer parked backlash after she poked fun at 22-year-old JoJo’s romance with Chris, 32, while appearing in a video message shared at World Pride over the weekend.
Speaking from inside a closet, Miley said: ‘Oh, my God, I haven’t been in here since sixth grade! Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you,’ she continued. ‘It shouldn’t be a month – it should be a year; it should be infinite.’
Wrapping up the video, Miley added with a laugh: ‘I’m going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.’
JoJo recently confessed during an episode of Celebrity Big Brother – where she met Chris – that she previously identified as a lesbian, but now identifies as a queer woman.
JoJo has now insisted that it is ‘all love’ between herself and her idol Miley but admits that hearing judgement from ‘someone you love, and look up to can be very hard.’

Sharing photos of herself as a child when she had a Miley-themed birthday party, alongside snaps with the popstar herself, JoJo wrote a passionate message.
‘I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I’m still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on…’
She added that she had taken some time to process Miley’s words, telling fans: ‘I wasn’t sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I’ve started to come to some thoughts…. I don’t believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha.’
‘Not what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week. I messaged miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said “All love. Always . ❤️❤️❤️.’
‘Honestly the most beautiful thing I’ve learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don’t question yourself, don’t second guess yourself, just love.’
‘Love love love love love.❤️ People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to…’
‘But if you feel happy and content with yourself, that’s most important. You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love.’
