JoJo Siwa Criticized Over Wildfire Evacuation Video

JoJo Siwa faced significant backlash after a now-deleted Instagram video showed her packing bedazzled costumes as 'essential' items during a potential evacuation due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The video, posted by her girlfriend Kath Ebbs, was criticized for being 'tone-deaf,' as many found Siwa's focus on preserving her expensive fashion items to be insensitive to the devastation faced by others. The wildfires have led to the destruction of over 1,000 homes and the evacuation of more than 70,000 people, with several celebrities losing their homes. Despite the criticism, Siwa clarified that her crucial belongings, like legal documents, were already safe. The video prompted fans to voice their frustrations on social media, questioning Siwa's priorities amid the disaster. This incident highlights the disparity in responses to natural disasters, as well as the scrutiny public figures face over their perceived insensitivity.
