Jojo Siwa outrages fans on social media after repeatedly pretending to be pregnant
Jojo Siwa’s fans have not taken kindly to her repeated posts in which she joked about being pregnant.
The 19-year-old social media star, who recently claimed Nickelodeon responded badly to her coming out, has left her followers scratching their heads after sharing several photos and videos throughout the month of March that seemed to suggest she was pregnant.
But he has also shut down the pregnancy rumors, indicating that his posts were only intended as harmless pranks.
Several fans found the series of ongoing posts “extremely disrespectful and insensitive,” though Jojo doesn’t appear to have responded to any of the negative fan reactions yet.
However, she seemingly put an end to any doubts about a pregnancy in a March 27 Snapchat story, in which she clarified that she doesn’t plan on having children until later in life, via Well-informed person.
Bad taste? Jojo Siwa fans have been upset after she posted several prank photos and videos throughout March in which she pretended to be pregnant.
Not having it: Several fans found the ongoing series of posts “extremely disrespectful and insensitive,” though Jojo doesn’t seem to have responded to any of the backlash from fans yet.
She added that being gay also meant that adoption was a more viable solution for her in the future.
The joking posts about Jojo’s pregnancy began this month, though several fans have noted that she has apparently been single since December, when she broke up with TikTok star Avery Cyrus.
In early March, Jojo posted a Snapchat photo of her pulling up her hoodie and placing her hands on her stomach, captioning the misleading photo: “I can’t believe it.”
She followed it up with a photo of herself popping in to buy baby clothes, though the posts have since disappeared.
Some fans were shocked by the posts, while others realized that they were probably hoaxes.
Despite some of her followers worrying that she was too young to have a child, more reasonable posters acknowledged that the dancer was likely pregnant with a “food baby.”
Jojo subsequently shared a TikTok video responding to the concerns.
Though she didn’t say a word, she reposted a video of someone worried she might be pregnant, before interrupting with her new clip and starting to laugh, as if the original post was ridiculous.
But Jojo continued to pester her fans. He returned with another post later in March in which he touched his stomach and wrote, “TEAM BOYS OR TEAM GIRL,” according to Insider.
In a Snapchat video posted on March 27, the reality star recruited his friend, dancer Ezra Sosa.
Seriously though: She joked about searching for “baby clothes” after posting a photo of her touching her stomach, though fans noted it was more likely a “food baby.”
Concerned: Although she didn’t say a word, she reposted a video of someone worried she might be pregnant
Laughing: In his reply, he didn’t say a word, but started laughing, as if the original post was ridiculous.
Awkward: In a Snapchat video posted on March 27, the reality star recruited his friend, dancer Ezra Sosa. As he placed his hands on his stomach, he said: ‘You know that everyone thinks I’m the father, right?’
Placing her hands on her stomach, she said, ‘You know everyone thinks I’m the father, right?’
A later photo showed him touching her stomach, and she captioned it: “The father of my baby!!! :)”
Jojo continued the ruse by posting with baby clothes and supplies again, though she later returned to Snap to say she wanted to treat any of her waiting fans by buying them the baby items she’s been looking for.
She also shut down the pregnancy rumors for good in a later video in which she opened up about how her sexuality affects the prospect of having biological children in the future.
“It’s not the social norm how I’m going to end up having kids one day,” she said.
“Biologically, to have children you need a man and a woman, and children watch this, so I’m not going to talk about how babies are made, but babies are made with men and women,” he continued, adding: “There will be never be that male partner in my life.’
He then said he was more likely to seek a sperm donation in the future when he had a partner or was able to adopt.
However, those options were still ‘a long way off’ for her.
“I’ve accepted that the universe wants me to be single right now,” she said.
Despite multiple clarifications, fans found her pregnancy jokes tasteless. “Does anyone else think it’s extremely disrespectful and insensitive for Jojo Siwa to pretend to be pregnant????” wrote one person on Twitter.
Helping Out: Jojo continued the ruse by posting baby clothes and supplies again, though she later returned to Snap to say she wanted to treat any of her waiting fans by buying them the baby items she’s been looking for.
Setting the record straight: She shut down the pregnancy rumors for good in a video from later that day in which she said she likely wouldn’t have biological children due to her sexuality. “It’s not the social norm how I’m going to end up having children one day,” she said.
Not a joke: Despite multiple clarifications, fans still found her pregnancy jokes tasteless.
Hair pulling: One person said they’d ‘scream’ if Jojo shared another pregnancy post
Food baby: One user wrote: ‘Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that Jojo Siwa keeps acting pregnant because she’s full?’
Can’t get enough: Others seemed to enjoy the spectacle of sorting through the pregnancy jokes, though.
One post featured a clip from Toy Story showing piggy bank Hamm rapidly switching between TV channels, captioning it, “me skipping jojo siwa story to see if she’s really pregnant.”
Another user wrote that Siwa “is weird and pregnancy is not a joke.”
“If I see Jojo Siwa pretending to be pregnant on my Snapchat one more time I’m going to scream,” added another.
