Jojo Siwa, 22 years old and who has recently gone from identifying as a lesbian to declare himself “queer”, replied through Instagram. Although he accepted that it was probably a joke, he described it as “not very good” and disheveled: “It is not what the world, nor, we need to listen to in any day of the week.”

Despite this, he clarified that he did not feel that Miley had bad intention and admitted that they communicated in a friendly way: after sending him a private message, Miley replied “All Love. Always.”

Siwa took the opportunity to reflect on the importance of accepting themselves: he emphasized that people judge no matter what – especially when he comes from someone you admire – and advised his followers to “not question or doubt themselves … just love.”

Miley’s comment generated online debate: some users criticized her for making jokes that seem to invalidate Siwa’s bisexuality or queerity; Others defended that it was just a joke and recalled that Jojo never “returned to the closet.”
