After her previous same-sex romances as she asserts ‘my past doesn’t get to be discredited because I’m in love with a man’.
JoJo Siwa has insisted that she is not straight following questions surrounding her sexuality, as she stated that her current relationship with boyfriend Chris Hughes does not negate her previous romances with women.
The Dance Moms star, 22, previously came out as pansexual and had a number of public same-sex romances, before falling for Love Island star Chris, 32, while in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April and now identifies as queer.
While the loved-up couple’s relationship has since gone from strength to strength, JoJo admitted she has experienced an ‘extreme amount of hate’ from the LGBTQ+ community for entering into a hetero romance.
In a new radio interview, the dancer got candid about how she labels her sexuality, and hit back at accusations that she was now straight because she was currently dating a man.
Speaking on Sirius XM’s Smith Sisters Live, she admitted: ‘Nobody around me knows the extreme amount of hate that I’ve experienced from within the community.
‘Just because I’m in a hetero relationship does not mean I’m straight. And okay, just say all of a sudden I said, “yeah, I’m straight”. Awesome. Who cares? Great. Beautiful. I’m still an ally then.’
