Kath Ebbs Speaks Out on Feeling "Like a Pawn" Post-Celebrity Big Brother
JoJo and Kath publicized their relationship in January, before the Karma singer was cast on Celebrity Big Brother UK.
However, they had gone their separate ways on the night JoJo allegedly "dumped" Kath, according to the now-deleted 13-minute-long TikTok video. The former had reportedly ghosted the latter for two days.
"She promised me if I deleted the TikTok video, she would no longer talk about me," Kath explained in a bombshell interview with Betches, "And she didn't hold up that promise."
Kath took the opportunity to open up about how they had been feeling after their split: "There have been so many times in the past month when I've thought about disappearing when this all feels way too overwhelming."
"The person who used to be my support system has not only vanished but turned against me and allowed this behavior to continue toward me," Kath added, indicating that they feel "voiceless" which is a "really big trigger" as people are "calling me names" and "making assumptions about my character."
Kath shared how she felt manipulated by the media for this heartbreaking event, "I feel a bit like I've been this pawn that's been moved around in this story by Big Brother, by JoJo, by her PR team, by the tabloids."
JoJo Siwa Claims the Breakup "Was Not Supposed to Happen"
For the uninformed, JoJo Siwa was dealing with terrible things on Celebrity Big Brother UK, specifically when a fellow housemate, Mickey Rourke, kept making inappropriate remarks and calling JoJo slurs for initially identifying as a lesbian.
At the time, JoJo and Kath were still an item. That is, until the Dance Moms alum grew closer to a co-housemate, Chris Hughes, who defended her from Rourke's comments.
When asked whether the two are potential lovers, Chris clarified that they are only growing their "soulmate friendship" and are plainly "platonic." He also expressed his gratitude for their dynamic and bond.
After Kath revealed how JoJo dumped them at the wrap party, JoJo claimed she was "cussed out" by the content creator, from identifying as lesbian to now being queer and nonbinary.
The Boomerang singer said that she and her ex had "cleared it up" and explained that Kath's initial allegations of JoJo "emotionally cheating on them" were not true.
"I think that was very uncool of them and I was very honest with them about that," JoJo continued, "There's a hundred reasons why my breakup happened and I've talked those through with my ex and I've talked those through with the people in my life."
Fairly enough, Kath actually corrected their previous reaction to JoJo's revelation of switching labels, "I believe she made a lapse in judgment and I was obviously collateral in that, and I wish it didn't happen because it was incredibly hurtful."
In the same interview, Kath also clarified that emotional cheating is more about losing their trust in JoJo.
