Every photo of JoJo Siwa contains the sort of forced exuberance that you expect to see from an adult actor on a TV show aimed at preschoolers.
In the mean time, everything about Danielle Bregoli seems to be the culmination of every parent’s nightmare. She’s an amalgam of personality problems and it’s making her rich.
It’s not a surprise that these two are feuding. It’s just a surprise that it’s taken this long.
This feud between 15-year-old girls began when a grown adult woman decided to take to social media to post a lengthy rant about why one was better than the other.
“I’ve seen people make fun of this girl many times because ‘she’s acting too young,"” writes a woman named Nicole.
“I don’t know too much about her,” the woman writes of JoJo. “But all three of my girls love her.”
She’s 15 years old and a face of Nickelodeon,” the post continues. “She also is a spokesperson for Michael’s Arts and Crafts store.”
“There are GROWN WOMEN on some of her posts who are trashing her because of the way that she acts.”
After decrying this, this grown woman then goes on to trash a different 15-year-old girl for the way that she acts.
Nicole whines about Danielle Bregoli, who “has publicly disrespected her mother, danced half-naked on the internet, dressed like she’s grown, etc.”
Many would point out that all of those activities are very age-appropriate for a high schooler.
“I would much rather have girls love JoJo,” she writes. “Than ‘Bhad Bhabie."”
The woman then writes a line that has only ever been used by bad people: “And people wonder why the kids these days act the way they do.”
“People like JoJo are made fun of for being young while people like ‘catch me outside’ girl makes [sic] millions being a delinquent.”
In and of itself, that sounds like a woman who is trying to defend a teen girl against unwarranted trolling (while also making some mostly fair criticisms of another teen girl).
JoJo Siwa — or whoever runs her social media accounts — boosted this post, adding her own words:
“This post means so much to me,” the JoJo Siwa tweet reads.
“Thank you Nicole for writing this! I love being a positive role model,” she writes. “And I want everyone to know it’s ok to be a kid and to not worry about growing up so fast!”
The tweet concludes: “To everyone who supports me, I LOVE YOU!”
Would you care to guess who didn’t particularly care for … any of this?
Danielle Bregoli herself quoted JoJo’s tweet, adding a few choice words of her own.
“Suck my dick,” Danielle tweeted. That’s a fair and, frankly, age-appropriate response to seeing another girl your age boost a post dedicated to bashing you.
JoJo hadn’t said anything directly bad about Danielle at that point — she’d just promoted a post that did.
After Danielle’s tweet, that changed.
“Exactly my point,” JoJo writes while quoting Danielle’s tweet.
We’ve definitely been hard on Danielle in the past, because, well, she did very much become famous because of her delinquent behavior.
But she’s turned unfortunate circumstances into a success story — and she’s still a literal child. That’s impressive.
JoJo is also a success story, absolutely, but while it is never appropriate to harass her with comments about her appearance, we should be honest.
Danielle’s behavior — awful and occassionally criminal though it may be — is wildly more age-appropriate than JoJo’s.
JoJo’s look is clearly designed to appeal to a certain demographic — young children and their easily scandalized parents.
Danielle is appealing to people within her own age range, and it’s working. Part of that is because Danielle reads like an authentic teenager and not as a cartoonish caricature.
We’re sure that JoJo will one day be able to shed this look and live as herself. For now, she’s a minor and she’s making money by catering to kids. Whatever makes her happy.
But she should know that one can accept a compliment without agreeing with insults aimed at someone else.
Looks like the cover of a romance novel, doesn’t it? Here’s ‘Bachelorette’ winner Jordan Rodgers shoving his corndog into JoJo Fletcher’s mouth at the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday because attention. The plan worked — the paparazzi shot…
Looks like the cover of a romance novel, doesn’t it? Here’s ‘Bachelorette’ winner Jordan Rodgers shoving his corndog into JoJo Fletcher’s mouth at the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday because attention. The plan worked — the paparazzi shot…
NBA YoungBoy’s snatched chain is back in his possession before the situation could escalate — he’d threatened to shoot the perp — thanks to a guy with some serious street cred. Sources close to rapper JoJo Capone tell TMZ … the famed hip-hop…
Are JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers actually going strong?
The Bachelorette duo had their PDA on for some Instagram pictures of a romantic getaway to Fiji, but are they for real?
Given the never-ending rumors about the state of their relationship, it’s difficult to understand what story JoJo and Jordan are selling to keep the dough coming in from their stint on the reality series.
Both JoJo and Jordan hit up Instagram to share pictures of the vacation, and they looked like they were having an awesome time.
The picture above looks like an ad campaign for some sort of his and her swimwear line. Right?
It is pretty crazy how many people thought these two would be over within. It’s now been over a year since they first met and they seem happier than ever.
Their wedding is still very much on the horizon, but could they still go the way of the flip phone?
The thing about Bachelor Nation couples is that they can appear to be smiling for the cameras, but then you hear about their relationship ending a few days later.
Hopefully, we’re wrong, and they will make it down the aisle. Hey, the franchise would probably look like the worst way of finding love if another couple bit the bullet.
Ever since meeting on The Bachelorette Season 12 last year, it has been as clear as day there was something between Fletcher and Rodgers.
But rumors can ruin a relationship. Will they be able to defy the odds and live together for a long and prosperous relationship?
The producers are probably hoping so.
There were rumblings that the pair could be getting a televised wedding late last year, but nothing every materialized.
They have been less prominent in the media since The Bachelor Season 21 debuted. That could be attributed to Corinne Olympios hogging all the Bachelor Nation spotlight.
On an episode of their ridiculously boring Freeform reality show, Higgins fought off (fake?) tears while telling Bushnell:
“You’re the woman of my dreams. The last thing I want to do is for us to rush that.”
That doesn’t really make any sense, but a content and happily married couple doesn’t make for riveting reality television, either.
But did Higgins really slow things down with Bushnell out of hope that Freeform would renew his program for a second season?
Or did he have an even more sinister motive?
According to Life & Style, Higgins is still in touch with ex-lover JoJo Fletcher. Still in a lot of touch, if this report is to be believed.
“Ben has been secretly calling JoJo ever since Lauren moved in with him in April,” a source tells this tabloid, adding mysteriously:
“They talked every three or four weeks at first, but it’s become more frequent since the wedding was was canceled.”
Higgins narrowed down his 25 suitors on his season of The Bachelor to Fletcher and Bushnell.
He made series history at the time when he actually told both women that he loved them, prior to choosing Bushnell as his bride-to-be.
On their reality show, though, Higgins and Bushnell each admitted that Ben telling both Lauren and JoJo that he loved them had led to “arguments” and “resentment” during their relationship.
Which is pretty easy to imagine.
Therefore, we somehow doubt Lauren is too happy about this Life & Style allegation.
Fletcher, meanwhile, is busy with her own love life. She’s engaged to Jordan Rodgers, despite constant talk that the two are nearing a break-up.
Life & Style claims that Rodgers has no idea Fletcher remains in contact with Higgins.
“She’s not happy in her relationship with him,” the source tells the rarely-reliable magazine. “Jordan is absolutely clueless about the calls.”
Where is all this headed for the quartet of reality stars? It’s hard to say.
But Jordan, JoJo, Lauren and Ben actually all sat down for the world’s most awkward lunch during an episode of Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?.
Bushnell admitted soon afterward that the whole “JoJo situation” was pretty “frustrating,” but emphasized that she didn’t place any blame for it at the pretty feet of Fletcher herself.
“I did carry some resentment towards him, not with JoJo,” Bushell said on camera, referring to the way Ben’s Bachelor finale went down and adding:
“I had such a hard time trying to understand and put myself in his shoes and finally was like, ‘I will never understand. I will never be the Bachelor."”
Profound stuff.
“I’m truly glad that we all sat down and went to lunch together,” Bushnell concluded. “I really am – I wish we would’ve done it months earlier.”
“The most frustrating part is that it’s known as the ‘JoJo Situation,’” Bushnell admits.
“She was involved, but I think no matter who was at the end, or whatever, and no matter what happened, it would’ve been really hard for me and Ben to move past.”
However, Lauren was quick to point out that she does not blame JoJo for all of the drama.
Surprisingly, it was Ben she had the issue with.
“I did carry some resentment towards him, not with JoJo,” she explains.
“I had such a hard time trying to understand and put myself in his shoes and finally was like, ‘I will never understand. I will never be the Bachelor.’”
As much as the lunch date with Lauren, Ben, JoJo and Jordan was awkward, Lauren is now very happy the lunch date came to fruition.
“I’m truly glad that we all sat down and went to lunch together,” Bushnell says. “I really am — I wish we would’ve done it months earlier.”
But the recent Bachelorette winner and her chosen suitor attended Mohegan Sun Casino’s 20th anniversary celebration in Connecticut last Friday and did their best to laugh off this chatter.
The reality stars say they don’t really care what other people have to say.
“Anyone can look at our social media and see how happy we are,” Rodgers told the tabloid, while Fletcher added of tabloid reports an other innuendo across the Internet:
“We don’t let it bother us.”
But what about plans to get married?
One of the reasons why so many critics doubt the seriousness of this relationship is that no date has been announced for the pair’s impending nuptials.
“Jordan’s mom is always sending me wedding books!” Fletcher told Us Weekly, saying she feels pressure to get every detail exactly right.
There was no update on whether or not Rodgers and Fletcher will get married on television.
“We still need to figure out a location,” Jordan said. “We can’t do much before that.”
During a Q&A session at Mohegan Sun Casino, the twosome said they’re torn because Jordan’s family resides in California while Fletcher’s family lives in Dallas.
(Editor’s Note: Wait… what?!? There was an official Q&A event featuring Jordan and JoJo at the casino? Who attended that?!?)
Aside from a lack of firm wedding plans, Fletcher and Rodgers have dealt with the fallout of the latter ex-girlfriend calling Jordan out for cheating.
In a very public manner.
Back in August, Brittany Farrar posted the sort of Instagram rant that would make Kanye West proud, saying Rodgers met a girl with whom he cheated while filming a cameo for Pitch Perfect 2.
“After our breakup, I was surprised to find out what a prolific liar and cheater #JordanRodgers was during our entire 3 1/2 year-relationship,” Farr wrote at the time, adding:
“With the power of a press tour, his lies reached our hometown and my family and friends are now constantly approached by mutual acquaintances…
“After weeks of this, I started wondering why I feel like I’m the one who should be silent when he was the one who jumped on a reality show hoping to catch fame as a last ditch attempt to make something of himself.”
Farr concluded her takedown of Rodgers by saying she isn’t after “fame” or “money.” It’s just this:
“All I want is the same thing that anyone else who’s been wronged would want: the chance to share the truth.”
