JoJo Siwa has arrived back home in the US following her whirlwind stint on Celebrity Big Brother UK which included her being harassed by Mickey Rourke, sparking romance rumours with Chris Hughes, realising she’s not a lesbian, and breaking up with Aussie Kath Ebbs at the after party. Can you tell this girl grew up in front of reality TV cameras? Abby Lee Miller would be proud!
Upon arrival at the airport, she was hounded by The Sun with a barrage of questions.
First up, they asked if she’s happy to be back in the US, to which she replied: “Can I be honest? No. I want to go back, I want to go back.”
When asked about her biggest takeaway, she brought up the sentiment she previously mentioned on ITV’s This Morning regarding ending her relationship with Kath Ebbs: “Biggest takeaway? Probably [that I] learned more about myself and yeah I think that I had a lot of things in my life I wasn’t happy about.
“And being there forced me to change that, and that’s good.
“I needed that.”

During her time on This Morning, where she appeared alongside Chris Hughes, she admitted that it wasn’t her initial plan to break up with Ebbs at the after party but it just sorta… happened.
“I’ll be honest, that was not a plan,” Siwa said. “That was not an intention, that was not supposed to happen like that.”
“Initially, I was told that the wrap party was something they didn’t want to attend and then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before and then it just led to another.”

JoJo added that during their chat, Kath asked if she was happy, which prompted JoJo to address that she wasn’t. “One thing led to another,” she said, “and that conversation did take place there.”
Elsewhere in The Sun’s chat, she said she harbours “no ill will” towards Mickey Rourke, insisting there’s “another side to him that you didn’t see” and he’s “lived a hard life”, and so she feels “sympathy” towards him. Girl, no.
The interview wrapped up with her mother, Dance Moms star Jessalynn Siwa, picking her up from the airport. Bless.

ICYMI: Aussie influencer Kath Ebbs previously revealed she was dumped by JoJo Siwa after flying to the UK to support her at the Big Brother after party.
“I’m filming this in a complete state of shock,” Ebbs said in a now-deleted TikTok video.
“I feel so numbed-out right now and so disoriented that I feel like the only thing I have to place [in] this situation is to finally address it after two weeks of sitting back, watching certain things unfold, and not being able to get any clarity from the person who it involved — who I thought was one great love of my life.”
