Celebrity Big Brother UK’s JoJo Siwa has recently admitted that she’s no longer a lesbian during a candid talk with her housemate Danny Beard.
Siwa, who now identifies as “queer,” is in a relationship with podcaster Kath Ebbs. However, her apparent growing fondness for Love Island’s Chris Hughes is becoming a hot-button issue among fans.
JoJo Siwa’s Surprising Revelation: “I am not a lesbian. I’m queer.”
JoJo Siwa’s stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house gave her the chance to re-evaluate her sexuality.
She recently shared that she no longer identifies as a lesbian, and declared she’s queer instead.
RuPaul’s Danny Beard listened to his fellow housemate’s confession without judgment and offered his take on the matter: “We’re not living in a world that’s designed for us, JoJo.”
Siwa continued, “I think you — I think being here — I’ve realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer.”
“And I think that’s really cool. I’m switching letters! I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q, baby! That’s what I love about sexuality,” she exclaimed.
According to The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert, “‘Queer’ has been adopted as an all-encompassing term for those who do not identify as straight or cisgender, but prefer not to use a more specific term.”
Meanwhile, fans believe that her closeness with Chris Hughes inside the house might have influenced Siwa’s change in sexual orientation.
The reality TV personality has been seen being physically affectionate with Siwa, including initmate moments in the hot tub and cuddling in bed at night.
At one point, Hughes also admitted his desire to kiss the social media star and said that if she left the house, he’d be “crushed.”
Siwa, who clarified her sexuality as “gay” in an interview with Paul C. Brunson on the podcast We Need To Talk, spoke about her girlfriend Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary:
“I have the most amazing, beautiful partner. They are an incredible human being who I don’t know how I snagged at all.”
JoJo Siwa Gets Insulted by Mickey Rourke’s Offensive Homophobic Slurs
JoJo Siwa’s sexuality was discussed several times in Celebrity Big Brother, most notably during an altercation with Mickey Rourke inside the house.
Rourke was curious about Siwa’s preferences, and she answered that she dates girls, even mentioning her girlfriend. However, he responded by saying he could turn her straight if he stayed “longer than four days.”
She replied, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay, and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
However, that response did not seem to sit well with the actor, who later told Hughes he was going to “vote the lesbian out real quick,” and used the word “f*g.”
This intense moment got Rourke in trouble, but aside from that, he had also broken several rules, including being aggressive toward Hughes, which led to his removal from the house.
Rourke is now planning to sue ITV, claiming they left him with a £50,000 hotel bill and evicted him too quickly to avoid paying him in full.
