Jojo Siwa is clarifying a statement that has been taken out of context. On Saturday, the 19-year-old judge took to TikTok to clear up some confusion — following backlash she received after a recent interview. During a conversation with, the “Boomerang” singer jokingly revealed her qualms about the word lesbian. Siwa shared that while she enjoys being celebrated as a gay icon and identifies as a lesbian, it’s not a word she likes to use.
«I don't like the word itself,» she joked with the publication. «It's just like a lot. But I mean, at the end of the day, that's what I am.… It's like the word moist.
It's just like… ugh!» Following the interview, the s alum caught backlash from social media users who claimed that she put a negative connotation to the word. In her TikTok video, Siwa responded to a user who wrote “that is not what happened, she called it a dirty word. She did nothing but insult us, my sexuality is not a dirty word.” “Okay, I've been going through my comments, and I just want to make something super clear, I never said that lesbian was a dirty word, and I never ever would say that it’s a dirty word because it is not,” the dancing pro who rocked a hoodie in the video said.
“It is not a bad word. It is not a slur, and it especially is not a word that I am ashamed of saying or ashamed of identifying as by any means.” Siwa continued, “Now if you look at the comment that this is commented under — if that makes sense — it says ‘I'm sorry that people are trying to cancel you for not liking the sound of the word.’ And that’s exactly it. I don’t hate the word lesbian.
