Jojo Siwa wants heterosexual kiss cut from her upcoming film

Like The J Team, Bounce — an adaptation of Megan Shull's young adult novel — is positioned as a movie with a motivational message. Directed by Susan Johnson (To All the Boys I've Loved Before) and produced by Will Smith through his Westbrook Studios, Siwa plays a teenage girl named Franny granted a Christmas wish to trade her difficult family for another, triggering a Groundhog Day-like experience in other girls' shoes.

But there's also a kissing scene, one Siwa desperately hopes won't make the cut. "I'm madly in love and I do not want to kiss another human," she says. "Especially because it's a man." It's her own qualms — she says her girlfriend is fine with the scene — and also because she thinks her fans will perceive it as JoJo Siwa kissing someone, not an actress doing her job. "That's what they look at me as, not some character, not some fictional thing. And so it's going to be a little weird."

She sounds completely sure of herself as she states, "I'm not about it. I'm trying to get it pulled so bad. It'll happen. It'll get pulled."

R1 It's late but your post made me laugh quite a bit. In any case, I certainly hope it isn't. I don't know much about her but from what I've seen on DL, I don't want to know.

Someone is just going a bit "Jojo crazy" tonight.

That's the chance you take by casting a non-actor "celebrity" to create buzz and get eyeball$ on your movie.

She bluntly explains it; there's gonna be a total disconnect between her fan base -and- her playing a character. I'll chalk her own qualms about the kiss up to being young and naive - heck, some adult pro actors regret and don't do intimate scenes.

I hope she does get the scene pulled and talks other shit about the movie - it'll serve the producers right for going for a gimmick hire as their star.

Jojo has always been a little bitch.

Too bad they didn't hire someone who realizes what acting is, to act in a movie..

Was it in the script when you signed on to the project? Don’t be that person. Kiss the dude like you agreed and cash the check and get on with your life.

by Anonymousreply 9June 4, 2021 12:33 PM

She says she's pansexual but doesn't want to do a heterosexual kiss? In this case, I think "pansexual" is her way of edging out of the closet as a lesbian.

Between the name, the bow, and the disingenuous smile, this bitch is already irritating me.

this little bitch is in for a rude awakening as life is going to hit her fast

I realize that she became known for her appearances on a children's dance show, but at 19yrs. old, she needs to drop the hair bow. She is WAY too old for that. It's actually kind of weird and creepy that she hasn't.

by Anonymousreply 13June 4, 2021 1:02 PM

I blame her mom for letting her act the way she did on Dance Moms. If I had acted like that my mother would've beat my ass.

She doesn't seem to understand what it means being an actress

I know it's her trademark look but she really should rethink that sideways ponytail. It always reminds me of that pathetic girl in Napoleon Dynamite.

Coming out as "a member of the LGBTQ+ community", as she declared on the cover of People, does nothing--ZERO--for gay & lesbian progress. Coming out in a cloud of ambiguity is regressive & weak, not reflective of any substantial pride at all. What young women on verge of actualizing their sexuality need these days is someone like this young woman to make a definitive statement about her definitive sexuality. Instead she wimped out & flopped around in murkiness, which indicates to her young followers that their sexuality/identity is more complex than it really is. I do not buy that any of the labels du jour apply to her at all. Bisexual perhaps, most likely a lesbian. But "a member of the LBGTQ+ community", a "community" that now includes sex workers, fluid gender concepts that borders on mental illness, niche fetishes, people who identify as "queer" but offer no clear definition of that means...She squandered an important oppurtunity to says "Hey, sometimes you're just gay, like me", and it was most likely a combination of two reasons: marketing & not being completely ready to come out at all, which she simply should have waited until she was.

Kirk Cameron should deflower her on film!

She has a fucking girlfriend, dear, just as Miles Heizer has a boyfriend. That sends a powerful message. Only those who lie to themselves (hello Jessie J) could such a thing be dismissed as a phase.

While on the one hand, I am tired of heterosexuals forcing their "lifestyle" down my throat via constant PDAs in movies, tv, and in real life, I also think that if you are going to be an actor, you need to understand that you are portraying a character. The character is kissing another character.

If your fans are too stupid to understand the difference, then you need to re-evaluate your work, and the demographic you are appealing to.

I'm not sure who this person is, but I think I would find her irritating.

by Anonymousreply 22June 4, 2021 2:16 PM

C'mon now. She's a baby gay and she's feeling militant. Jodie probably felt the same in college.

by Anonymousreply 23June 4, 2021 2:18 PM

oh brother. She is making huger career mistakes. Why hire her to act if you think no one will see you as the character but as Jojo.

by Anonymousreply 24June 4, 2021 2:20 PM

She sounds like a for-college lesbian who’s a little too worried the facade will slip.

You haven't heard her speaking voice.

R21, I do see your point. Sure, she has a girlfriend, and appearances on social media seem very performative & insincere, especially because it's all based on visual perceptions & a desired image for a given purpose. Actually declaring that she is a lesbian or a bisexual woman who is in a relationship with a woman carried heavy influence, very meaningful, legitimizing influence over young people who need to that. Appearing one way is not the same as saying, "Yes, I am that way." Too many people are caught up in the nuances of otherwise simple issues, making them more complex than they actually are. This was her opportunity to clear away those cobwebs, especially for young women who may be mistakenly equating "trans" with simply being a lesbian.

I guess you have little idea about Jojo Siwa's reach. Her fanbase is not just people on tumblr (or wherever they've migrated). It is a HUGE thing for Siwa to come out. That she hasn't yet chose the ding!ding!ding! word you'd like means little.

by Anonymousreply 29June 4, 2021 3:19 PM

She's basically Demi Lovato with a bow.

by Anonymousreply 30June 4, 2021 3:24 PM

I do understand her reach. And it's not just a "word I like", it's an actual existence & young people should be hearing someone of her stature in this arena be confident enough to plainly articulate it.

Weird to see those old clips being an entitled cunt because she seemed more mature than the weird hyper Baby Huey/Pee Wee Herman image she’s got going now.

Can any DL lesbians weigh in on the JoJo situation please? What's your take? Is she what you would consider "hawt?"

She's definitely a dyke, not pretending.

She's a teenager. She'll likely choose the word you like in time.

Spreadsheets trigger my OCD so I've decided to become an accountant. This week I've taken on a job with heaps of spreadsheets so I've decided to not do the spreadsheet part. Nobody can expect me do the spreadsheets if I makes me uncomfortable. I'm sure my boss won't mind.
