JoJo Siwa is setting the record straight. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Life, the 19-year-old performer explained that despite identifying as a lesbian, she doesn’t like using that term. “I don’t like the word itself,” she said. “It’s just like a lot.
But I mean, at the end of the day, that’s what I am.” She added, “It’s like the word moist. It’s just like… ugh!” Her remarks faced backlash on social media, with fans accusing JoJo of insinuating that the word “lesbian” had a negative connotation.
