JoJo Siwa has said that her time in the Big Brother House has made her realise she’s not a lesbian.
The former child star was speaking to fellow housemate, Drag Race UK‘s Danny Beard, about her recent sexuality shift on Wednesday’s episode.
鈥淚 feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean?” she said.
“I think that鈥檚 the thing. I鈥檝e always told myself I鈥檓 a lesbian, and I think being here I鈥檝e realised: 鈥榦h, I鈥檓 not a lesbian, I鈥檓 queer.鈥� And I think that鈥檚 really cool.”
鈥淚鈥檓 switching letters! Fuck the 鈥楲,鈥� I鈥檓 going to the 鈥楺鈥�!鈥�
Siwa, who came out as gay in 2021, may not be aware that her announcement has come in the middle of Lesbian Visibility Week.
The 21 year old has had a tumultuous relationship with lesbianism, and said in 2022 that she didn’t like the word.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just like lesbian, it鈥檚 just like a lot.鈥�
In a follow up video posted to TikTok, Siwa clarified that it just wasn’t her preferred term to use for herself.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 hate the word lesbian,” she said. “I just 鈥� whenever somebody talks to me about my sexuality, I just say that I鈥檓 gay. It鈥檚 not the word that flows off the tongue for me if that makes sense.鈥�
Homophobic and sexist threat lobbied at Siwa
Siwa has been making headlines regularly since entering the Big Brother House earlier in the month.
Actor Mickey Rourke came under fire after asking Siwa about her sexuality, saying that if he stayed in the hour for longer than four days, she “wouldn’t be gay”.
鈥淚鈥檒l tie you up鈥� he continued.
鈥淚 promise you that won鈥檛 happen鈥� Siwa responded. 鈥淚 dare you to try, you鈥檒l be the one tied up.鈥�
Rouke was eliminated from the house soon after, accused of perpetuating misogynistic attitudes and sexual violence.
Siwa’s current partner, Australian content creator Kath Ebbs, said watching the interaction made her feel “sick to [her] stomach”.
鈥淚f men can鈥檛 root you they see no use for you,” Ebbs said in a video posted to . “If the male gaze is not a part of this situation and I have no power over you sexually, then he鈥檚 like 鈥榦h I鈥檓 going to bully you, 鈥榶ou鈥檙e not going to play into my creepy jokes ok? Then I鈥檓 going to bully you鈥�.鈥�
