JoJo Siwa Claims Nickelodeon ‘Blackballed’ Her After She Came Out as LGBTQ


JoJo Siwa said Nickelodeon "blackballed" her after she came out as LGBTQ. Get the details.

Unlike the other subjects interviewed in Demi Lovato ‘s upcoming Child Star documentary, JoJo Siwa recalls her early start in the limelight as being mostly positive. According to a new article published by The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday (Aug. 14), the Dance Moms alum claims in the doc — which arrives on Hulu Sept. 17 — that her relationship with the entertainment company was never the same after she posted a video on social media confirming her queer identity. He then allegedly told a 17-year-old Siwa to “have a call with every retailer” selling her merch and assure them that she wasn’t “going crazy.” The “Karma” artist, who’s now 21, says she proceeded to get on the phone with Target, Walmart and Claire’s.
