Miley Cyrus Faces Backlash Over JoJo Siwa Joke

Miley Cyrus faced backlash for joking about JoJo Siwa 'coming out of the closet' during a Pride event, referencing Siwa's new relationship with Chris Hughes. JoJo Siwa herself responded, stating the comment was ill-timed and unhelpful considering the scrutiny she faces over her sexuality. The joke drew criticism on social media, with many highlighting the inappropriateness of such remarks during Pride Month and their potential harm within the LGBTQ+ community. Siwa, who previously identified as a lesbian and now identifies as queer, confirmed her relationship with Hughes after meeting him on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Despite the controversy, Siwa continues to promote self-acceptance and happiness in the face of public judgment. The incident has fueled renewed discussion about biphobia, visibility, and respect in LGBTQ+ spaces.
