JoJo Siwa Commemorates 2nd Anniversary Of Coming Out!

JoJo Siwa is celebrating a monumental moment in her life.

In January 2021, the YouTube star hinted at her status by dancing to Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way," which was regarded as an LGBTQ anthem. She later posted a picture of herself wearing a shirt with words confirming her sexual orientation. Two years later, the young mogul is remembering that moment in a sweet post. 

The Nickelodeon star shared an important throwback image on her Instagram page to her 11.4 million followers, celebrating the second anniversary of her coming out.

Standing in front of the camera, the 19-year-old wore a black shirt she pulled out to show the words, "Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever." The picture was the one she had initially used to come out as a member of the LGBTQ community officially. In the caption, she wrote:

"2 years ago today ❤️????? now looking back on everything…. I'm SO proud of 17-year-old JoJo.??" 

While most of her fans were very excited and congratulated the "Dance Moms" alum, some others thought differently. This person felt betrayed by Siwa, writing, "I don't judge, but I feel like you tricked your fans! You were so girly to a completely different person! My daughter is six and so confused ?"

Another user believed she posted the picture to laud herself, noting, "Glorifying yourself, I see." While someone felt she should keep her business to herself, stating harshly, "Don't broadcast that you're gay. It's really nobody's business." 

This person declared that the day the dancer came out was when she became ill-suited to kids, writing, "The day that JoJo became inappropriate for children." A follower responded to her caption, expressing that they were not proud of her, adding, "Nobody cares about your sex life. Stop it."

Speaking of changes, apart from the switch in her sexual orientation, the singer sported another one which came in the form of her ripped body. The Blast noted that she shared a picture of her taut abs in a deleted post on her page.

In the caption, she mentioned how hard she worked for the new and improved muscles while spreading goodwill to her fans for the new year. In another photo, Siwa struck a sultry pose for the mirror selfie, wearing a stretchy crop top and a pair of black panties.

She then pulled down the top of the underwear to display her abs and captioned the post, "First and last pic of 2022." The "Kid in a Candy Store" singer also disclosed her excitement about how much she had improved health-wise and noted how uncomfortable she felt taking "progress pictures."

The star stated that she was also proud of how much muscle and strength she had gained after a year of putting in the work. She added, "I looked like the first picture EVERYDAY, literally. Sweated and sweated. HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!"

In August 2022, she began dating the content creator, but sadly, their short whirlwind romance ended in December. Prior to theirs, Siwa was in an on-and-off affair with her best friend, Kylie Prew, which ended in May.

Per The Blast, Cyrus had commented on the split, noting that the pair had agreed they were better off as friends and not lovers. Despite that disclaimer which everyone thought the TV personality was on board with, it was refuted when she released a video seemingly coming for her ex-girlfriend for allegedly using their status for attention and clout. 

In the clip posted on her mother Jessalynn Siwa's Instagram story, she accused the social media influencer of trying to ride on her fame while they were an item. After her mum asked why she was upset, Jojo said, "Because I got used for views and clout!" while she paced back and forth. 

As her mother recorded, the musician, clearly still traumatized and reeling from the shock at being left, added, "I got tricked into being told I was in love, and I got f**king played," per Page Six.

While it might not be true, it is worth noting that before they started dating, the TikTok influencer initially earned almost a million views. Still, due to appearances by her celebrity girlfriend, views skyrocketed to three to ten times over the regular amount.
