Saying the name “JoJo Siwa” in 2017 conjured images of a smiling girl with a high blonde ponytail and brightly colored, oversized hair bows. Saying the same name in 2024 brings to mind a slightly more feminine version of KISS frontman Gene Simmons.
It’s true that all kids have to grow up. Siwa, like so many child stars who came before her, was destined to shed her sweet and innocent pre-teen idol image for something edgier as she matured. But Siwa’s transformation is so extreme, and so abrupt, that it demands explanation.
Siwa, who was born in 2003, shot to fame as a young performer on the Lifetime reality series “Dance Moms.” The Omaha, Nebraska, native appeared on two seasons of the show in 2015 and 2016. However, Siwa was not destined for mere reality star fame.

The aspiring singer released two singles, &#8220;Boomerang&#8221; and &#8220;I Can Make U Dance,&#8221; in 2016 and watched the music video views rack up. Siwa was named the Breakout Artist of the Year by Vivid Seats in 2018. This prompted her to announce she was embarking on “D.R.E.A.M. The Tour” in 2019.
Besides just singing, the young celeb became a national sensation thanks to clever branding and marketing. One school in the U.K. tried to ban the massively popular, oversized hair bows sold under Siwa’s brand name because they were so popular that educators deemed them “distracting.”
&#8220;I&#8217;ve always just worn bows&#8221; the singer <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39140210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CBBC&#8217;s Newsround in 2017 of the international trend. &#8220;They just got bigger and better and sparklier &#8211; and then I became &#8216;JoJo with the bow bow&#8217; and it became a thing,&#8221; she added.
Later, Siwa said the bows were &#8220;more than just a hair accessory.” She said they were also “a symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness.&#8221;
The brand is still sold at major retailers such as Claire’s, Justice, Walmart, and Target.

It wasn’t just bows, either. Siwa’s merch started popping up everywhere as young kids emulated her look and sang along to the bubblegum pop lyrics of Siwa’s upbeat song catalog. With titles like, “Every Girl’s a Supergirl,” “Kid in a Candy Store,” “High Top Shoes,” and “Bop!,” it’s easy to see exactly who the YouTube star was marketing to. There were leagues of JoJo Siwa devotees, fan club members, and YouTube subscribers. Most were in the highly impressionable pre-teen demographic.
The change in Siwa was both gradual and all at once. One of the most pivotal moments in her image change happened in January 2021 when she came out as LGBTQ. Siwa alerted fans by posting a photo of herself wearing a shirt that said, “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.” She later clarified that her sexual attraction didn’t align with any strict labels and if anything, she was “pansexual.”
“I always believed that my person was just going to be my person,” she said at the time, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-comes-out-as-lgbtq-identifies-as-neither-gay-nor-straight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “And if that person happened to be a boy, great, and if that person happened to be a girl, great!”
“I think humans are awesome, I think humans are really incredible people. Right now, I’m super duper happy and I want to share everything with the world but I also want to keep things in my life private until they are ready to be public. Right now what matters is that you guys know that no matter who you love, that it’s OK. It’s awesome and the world is there for you,” Siwa continued.

The former child star went public with two romantic relationships with women shortly after.
While many followers were critical of Siwa for becoming a vocal LGBTQ advocate, others championed the move. But the pop singer’s most shocking and controversial transformation was still to come.
On April 2, the YouTube star debuted a drastically different look at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, explaining that she was evolving to cater to an older audience. Siwa dressed in all black with a revealing cut-out mesh bodysuit, combat boots, dramatic black eye makeup, and a faux mohawk.
The singer said it was the same outfit she wore while recording her new music video for the single “Karma.”

The former &#8220;Dance Moms&#8221; star had already showed off her brand overhaul on March 5 by uploading a series of behind-the-scenes photos from dance rehearsals for her upcoming single release, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-defends-her-black-beast-look-says-respected-stars-like-lil-nas-x-called-it-so-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The captions from the nine posts formed a message that read, “See you in one month. Remember Karma’s a b****.”
“This is my ‘KARMA,’ black beast look,” Siwa <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1398587/jojo-siwa-pushes-back-on-criticism-of-her-adult-era-while-debuting-dramatic-all-black-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a red carpet interview with E! News at the iHeartMusic Awards. “It’s got some rips in it, but you’d never know.”
When asked how she’s responding to backlash for her new, more provocative look, Siwa said, “People are afraid of things they don’t know. Things can be scary for people. New things can be very, very scary.”
She added, “The way that I’m able to keep going and keep being like, ‘Wait, actually what I’m doing is right,’ is because some of the most respected people in the world have come up to me and been like, ‘What you’re doing right now is so right. It is what the world needs, and I’m learning from what you are doing right now.&#8217;”
She mentioned rapper Lil Nas X and Meghan Trainor as two individuals who had vocalized their support for her new image. “Support from people like that means the world to me,” Siwa boasted.
The singer made it very clear that her new content was not for a younger audience. She teased the release of her latest single in March with a series of Instagram posts, writing:
<blockquote>Warning. The following content is not made for children and may be disturbing or offensive to some viewers. May contain sexual themes, violence, strong language, traumatic scenarios, and flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised.</blockquote>
The “Karma” music video now has more than <a href="https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VZIm_2MgdeA&amp;list=PL4fGSI1pDJn5kI81J1fYWK5eZRl1zJ5kM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24 million views</a> on YouTube.
Gone are the days of songs about high top shoes. “I was a bad girl / I did some bad things,” the single opens. 
The chorus continues with more of the same message. “Karma’s a b****, I should’ve known better / If I had a wish, I would’ve never effed around / When I saw the pics of you and her, I fеlt the knife twist /  Karma’s a b****, and she’s with you right now.”
&#8220;I wanted it to be as bold and as ballsy as possible. There is nothing more ballsy than this song,” the 20-year-old said during a Billboard <a href="https://www.billboard.com/video/jojo-siwa-billboard-news-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> about the song. 
“The genre is — I said it back in the day when I first signed with Columbia. I said, ‘I want to start a new genre of music.’ And they said, ‘What do you mean?’ And I said well, ‘It’s called gay pop.’”
<div id="attachment_725277" style="width: 394px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-725277" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-725277" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/04/GettyImages-2085137154-384x576.jpg" alt="BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 14: JoJo Siwa attends the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton on March 14, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.

Siwa names fellow former child star Miley Cyrus as her biggest inspiration.
“It’s no secret that my transition is heavily inspired by Miley Cyrus, of course,” she said. Siwa mentioned when Cyrus made headlines for her provocative Video Music Awards performance with Robin Thicke in 2013.
“Like it or not, everyone knows that moment and I think that that made such an impact,” Siwa said. “I think every child star has made their impact in some which way becoming an adult star. But Miley’s flip, Miley’s switch, Miley’s turn was the greatest thing I’ve witnessed with my own two eyes.”
Like it or not, parents of young fans need to realize that Siwa has traded in big hair bows for sexual innuendo. And it doesn’t look like she’s going back.

Former “Dance Moms” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jojo-siwa">JoJo Siwa</a> debuted a drastically different look at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday, explaining that she’s evolving to cater to an older audience.
The former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">reality star</a> has been a role model for younger children for most of her career, marketing her YouTube channel, merchandise, and overall brand to pre-teens and younger girls. The 20-year-old was known for wearing oversized hair bows, brightly colored outfits, and singing bubblegum pop songs. 
Siwa stepped out at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">iHeartRadio Awards</a> dressed in all black with a revealing cut-out mesh bodysuit, combat boots, dramatic black eye makeup, and a faux mohawk. The singer said she wore the same outfit while recording her new music video for the single “Karma.”
&#8220;This is my &#8216;KARMA,&#8217; black beast look,&#8221; Siwa said during a red carpet <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1398587/jojo-siwa-pushes-back-on-criticism-of-her-adult-era-while-debuting-dramatic-all-black-look">interview</a> with E!

The former child star also said she has support from other celebrities in the industry, which makes her feel better about the makeover.
Siwa said, &#8220;The way that I&#8217;m able to keep going and keep being like, &#8216;Wait, actually what I&#8217;m doing is right,&#8217; is because some of the most respected people in the world have come up to me and been like, &#8216;What you&#8217;re doing right now is so right.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jojo-siwa">JoJo Siwa</a> said she’s already making plans for her future <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">children</a>, including their names and how she’ll conceive them.
The 20-year-old singer claims she got her future kids’ names <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tattoo">tattooed</a> on her arm.
&#8220;Fully, fully,&#8221; Siwa responded when asked by an interviewer from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQlQ24hSWPQ">Access Hollywood</a> if she’s already picked out names for her children.
&#8220;I actually have two tattoos dedicated to them. This one&#8217;s dedicated to my baby girl one day, her name is Freddie,&#8221; the YouTube star said, indicating one of her arm tattoos. &#8220;Then this is dedicated to twin boys. Eddie and Teddie. Freddie, Eddie and Teddie. I want three babies. I&#8217;ve got a sperm donor lined up,” she added.
Siwa had posted photos of some new ink in an Instagram photo carousel on Wednesday. &#8220;48HRs in Florida.. There’s 4 photos in this slide that I can’t wait for you to understand what’s happening in them. Give me a few and you’ll know I promise. Any guesses?&#8221; she wrote in the caption.

The singer has been publicly single for a while after vowing in 2023 that she was putting a pause on dating. Siwa came out as gay in 2021. 
“I was like, ‘This year, nothing.’ And now I’m 11 months into nothing and I’m like ‘Damn, why did I say that?’ Because Mother Nature is holding me accountable to that,” she told <a href="https://people.com/jojo-siwa-ready-to-be-idiot-with-love-after-year-being-single-exclusive-8406249">People</a> in November. “I don’t know. I have a lot going on right now.”
“I’m a lover. I crave that,” the YouTube star added. “But it’s good, because I know when I’m in a relationship, I prioritize it, and sometimes a little too much and I cut out friends, cut out family, cut out career, and I only focus on relationships. So I think it’s good that I’m single right now.”

From 2015 to 2016, JoJo Siwa was on the show “Dance Moms” alongside her mother, Jessalynn Siwa. While she may not have been the best dancer, viewers always wanted to see more of her on screen. She has a big, bubbly personality and was always genuinely fun to watch. After two seasons on the show, she started a YouTube channel called “It’s JoJo Siwa,” which was a kids’ show—and kids loved her. It positively exploded. She gained a huge following and even created music for kids thereafter.
In January 2020, Siwa came out as a lesbian. Now, she is back in the news with a new podcast — “JoJo Siwa Now” — and a big announcement: She wants kids.

[R] Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for iHeartRadio</div>I have said previously that I do not believe Siwa is a lesbian, which she heard about and didn’t like. Nevertheless, I stand by it. There are, obviously, lesbians who grow up to marry women. The women I know who have chosen this route are often women who have been abused by men in some way, be it emotional or physical. They almost experience a repulsion of men for the rest of their lives. Ellen DeGeneres has talked about the sexual abuse she experienced as a child, and she has been married to a woman for many years now.
But Siwa’s story? I have seen this story and so have you: Young girls become famous and want to break away from the child-like persona that made them famous — and they go through “a phase.” Call it a coming-of-age phase, per se. These girls are the Cyndi-Lauper-type girls who “just want to have fun.” They make out with other girls at a high school or college party, but they are not really lesbians. They grow up and out of that phase. They go on to marry a man and have children.

Take, for instance, Demi Lovato, who announced she was a lesbian, then non-binary, then back to being a woman. She is now an engaged woman. Miley Cyrus was also a temporary lesbian. She said she came out to her mom when she was younger, then she came out as a lesbian after her marriage failed with Liam. Now, she is dating a man again, a drummer who came with her to the Grammys.

 And, of course, who could forget Lindsey Lohan? She was dating Samantha Ronson for a while, another child actress who became a lesbian. But, Lohan grew up, got married, and just had a child.

So why does any of this matter? It matters because it impacts our children and because it’s relevant to the next generation. This type of behavior becomes dangerous. These women are famous and because their phase is platformed, it is treated as something more than just a phase.
JoJo Siwa has recently discussed on her podcast what coming out to her mother was like. She says she was 12-years-old. That’s right: 12-years-old. Do we assign meaning to anything that a 12-year-old says? Girls’ emotions are all over the place around that age when they are going through puberty; that is why people often say girls are much more difficult than boys when they are teenagers. Factually, a 12-year-old’s brain simply is not developed. In fact, it’s not developed until age 25.
Then, in regards to the conversation between Siwa and her mom, Siwa says, “My mom actually made my coming out to her super easy.” And when “everyone kinda caught a vibe” between her and a girl who ended up becoming her first girlfriend, her mom asked her, “Do you like her as a friend or as more than a friend?” All the while, Siwa has lots of children’s eyes watching her every move, hanging on her every word. They’re the kids who fell in love with her on YouTube, so they’re still listening to her while she makes her lesbian journey sound fun and easy.
Yet many lesbians’ journeys have been far from fun and easy. The highest domestic violence statistics exist amongst the lesbian community, with 43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of bisexual women having experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner. Those are facts, and they are facts that JoJo Siwa is not considering while she goes through what I perceive to plausibly be a phase in her life.
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
Plus, biologically speaking, lesbians cannot naturally have children. But on her podcast, she says she is looking for someone who is ready to have kids because she is “very near ready.” Siwa says, “That is something that I care very, very much about.” Now, I love that she is talking about wanting to have children and making that aspirational because that is actually not common in Hollywood whatsoever. However, she is clearly not considering the implications of being a lesbian and having children. To have children, she would have to go through IVF, a tremendously expensive, emotional, and painful process. The reality of IVF is not flippant; it is severe. Further, it is not guaranteed.
JoJo Siwa may just be wanting to separate herself from the big bow phase, but the lesbian phase may be one she looks back on with regret. Perhaps she will look to some of the women who have lived lives similar to hers to learn from where they are now because her current decisions are in the public consciousness. She is influencing the children who are following her by glamorizing these decisions, even if unintentionally so.

Child Role Models: How Dangerous Behavior Is Influencing The Next Generation

Former child star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jojo-siwa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JoJo Siwa</a> documented the aftermath of an alleged armed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/robbery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">robbery</a> in her California home on social media.
The 19-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">singer</a> went into detail about the incident with her 11.3 million Instagram followers, even sharing footage from her security cameras. 
“We were robbed last night at 2:40(ish)AM… It was an armed robbery which is very scary,” Siwa told fans. “It was a REALLLLLY long night on the phone with my security, family, and LAPD.”
Police responded to a call from an alarm company about a break-in at Siwa’s home, but the suspects had already left before officers arrived, per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/05/16/jojo-siwa-house-break-in-cops-burglars-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>. The social media star was apparently on a cruise when the break-in occurred.
The “Hold the Drama” singer said there was “lots of materialistic damage” but assured that “all can be fixed.” At another point, she confirmed “no one was hurt” during the crime.
“This makes me sick to watch,” Siwa said of the footage during her social media update on Tuesday. “I’m just happy that my family and pups are safe. Most important thing to me.”
“Do me a favor and hug your people extra tight tonight,” she went on. “Life is SCARY. And you never know when anything could happen.”
Celebrities have been the target of robberies with increasing regularity.

Billie Eilish also had her home broken into in January.
Valerie Bertinelli was the victim of an attempted burglary last month, she said, sharing security footage of two individuals outside her home in the early morning hours. Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Alex Rodriguez, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Orlando Bloom, Hilary Duff, and Simon Cowell are just some of the other celebrities who have been burglarized over the years.

Dancer and LGBTQ activist JoJo Siwa told Daily Wire host Candace Owens to &#8220;respectfully back the f*** off&#8221; after Owens questioned Siwa&#8217;s claim that she is a lesbian while highlighting the teen&#8217;s bizarre behavior.
Owens argued Siwa might not be gay, but is instead clinging to the label for attention. The &#8220;Blackout&#8221; author underscored her argument by showing images of Siwa bizarrely pretending to be pregnant online. The 33-year-old said Siwa&#8217;s actions are a &#8220;cry for help,&#8221; and needs prayer and spiritual guidance to fill an emptiness inside her.
&#8220;I haven’t watched the video yet …. But if it has anything to do with your caption, respectfully back the f*** off,&#8221; Siwa captioned her retweet of the video of Owens.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Owens responded to Siwa online, writing, &#8220;You attack Christians for having traditional values while you simultaneously do the absolutely most to show that you’re a proud lesbian. It’s obnoxious—as was your pretending to be pregnant. I’m not buying your act. Respectfully.&#8221;
&#8220;The expectation has been for too long that people like [Jojo Siwa] can routinely and casually mock Christians and our traditional values, simply because they fly under the alphabet soup community flag,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It cannot work that way anymore. I will not tolerate it.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The video Siwa reacted to was posted to a Twitter account for Owens&#8217; podcast and captioned, &#8220;Is Jojo Siwa lying about being lesbian for attention?&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t believe JoJo Siwa is a lesbian, by the way. I do want to state that very clearly,&#8221; Owens said in the video. &#8220;I do believe she&#8217;s desperate for attention.&#8221;
Owens then watched a video clip of Siwa from last year claiming she knew she was gay after three incidents; one of them being a date with a man who Siwa says wanted to have sex with her. Siwa, 18 at the time of her video, said she was &#8220;grossed out by the thought of it&#8221; and knew &#8220;women were my gig.&#8221;
Owens found the video totally unconvincing and argued that going on a bad date with a man doesn&#8217;t mean you don&#8217;t like men. &#8220;Maybe I&#8217;m a lesbian, I&#8217;ve been on some bad dates,&#8221; she quipped.
The conservative then highlighted that Siwa recently <a href="https://www.papermag.com/jojo-siwa-pregnancy-prank-backlash-2659697717.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received backlash</a> for apparently faking a pregnancy online.

&#8220;I know her brand is happy and sparkly &#8230; she wears scrunchies and bows; children like to watch her because she&#8217;s ecstatic all the time,&#8221; Owens said of Siwa. &#8220;People who you see that put on an appearance of happiness all the time are usually people who are suffering the most, internally. And there&#8217;s no question to me that what we have observed from her over the last few years has been one giant cry for help.&#8221;
&#8220;She did this for attention,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe she&#8217;s a lesbian no more than I believe Demi Lovato is a lesbian.&#8221;
Owens said Lovato is another person who &#8220;went on a long cry for help.&#8221; The former Disney star in 2021 claimed she was &#8220;non-binary&#8221; and used &#8220;they/them&#8221; pronouns. Last year, she changed her mind again and now uses standard female pronouns.
&#8220;These people are suffering on the inside, they&#8217;re completely empty on the inside,&#8221; Owens asserted. &#8220;What they really need is spiritual growth and development and God.&#8221;
Siwa needs to &#8220;put down the camera and go one a soul-search,&#8221; Owens added. &#8220;I can see a person when they&#8217;re suffering, and that&#8217;s exactly what JoJo is. So, prayers for JoJo Siwa.&#8221;

In a TikTok video, Spencer responded to a fan asking about the “rudest celebrity” he&#8217;s ever met.
“Oh, that’s easy,” Pratt said. “Phoebe from ‘Friends.&#8217; Hands down, one of the worst humans I’ve ever come in contact with — by far.”
“The Hills” star did not go into detail to back up his slam, but he did receive some support in the comment section.
“That’s crazy,” Frankel wrote. &#8220;She was on my talk show and I had a crazy experience also.&#8221; Pratt reacted with a 100% emoji.
The 39-year-old added that he&#8217;d tell “the story behind this&#8221; if the video reaches 1 million views.

Kudrow made headlines last month when she told the Daily Beast that “Friends&#8221;  had “no business” adding storylines about “being a person of color.”
The show was “created by two people who went to Brandeis and wrote about their lives after college,” the actress said, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/friends-star-lisa-kudrow-says-the-show-had-no-business-adding-storylines-about-being-a-person-of-color">The Daily Wire</a> highlighted.
“And for shows especially, when it’s going to be a comedy that’s character-driven, you write what you know,” she continued. “They have no business writing stories about the experiences of being a person of color.”
“I think at that time, the big problem that I was seeing was, ‘Where’s the apprenticeship?’” Kudrow added.
The video Pratt slams Kudrow in is reminiscent of a viral post from “Dance Moms” alum and singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-tells-fans-you-can-be-in-love-with-whoever-you-want">JoJo Siwa</a>, who named actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-cameron-bure">Candace Cameron Bure</a> as the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-trashes-candace-cameron-bure-as-rudest-celebrity-shes-met">“rudest” celebrity she’s met</a>.
“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw the TikTok on Sunday, and I had no idea where it came from,” Bure said in a video to her followers, reacting to the post. “I immediately tried to reach out to her through a mutual friend … because I didn’t know what happened — I didn’t know.”
The “Fuller House” star said she was finally able to get in touch with Siwa, and the pair were able to clear the air.
“I called her,” Bure said. “We had a great conversation.” On the call, Bure asked the pop singer what she did to offend her.
“I didn’t think this was gonna go viral … It was just a silly TikTok trend,” Siwa told Bure, the actress recalled. “I didn’t think it was a big deal.”
“Well, it was a big deal, but what did I do to you? What did I do?” Bure said she asked Siwa.
The “Dance Moms” alum told Bure the whole thing was “silly,” and she “felt bad” that it blew up, and then finally disclosed what she was upset about.
“I met you at the ‘Fuller House’ premiere when I was 11 years old,” Siwa said, according to Bure. When the singer asked the actress for a photo on the red carpet, Siwa said Bure told her, “not right now,” and then went back to the madness of the red carpet.
Bure apologized to the teenager and told her fans to forgive her if she&#8217;s not perfect during their interactions.

In response, the &#8220;Fuller House&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-called-her-candace-cameron-bures-all-class-response-after-jojo-siwa-trashes-her-as-rudest-celebrity">star</a> posted a video online showing her reading the following verse from Isaiah 12:2.
&#8220;The lord is my salvation,&#8221; Bure shared. &#8220;I will trust Him and not be afraid. For He, and He alone, is my strength and my defender. He has become my salvation.&#8221;
She captioned the post, &#8220;Scripture memory day.&#8221;
In the actress&#8217; original post that Koma played alongside his TikTok, we see Bure decked out in patriotic attire as Springsteen&#8217;s &#8220;Born in the U.S.A.&#8221; plays in the background. In the clip, she said, &#8220;I mean, c&#8217;mon, would you expect anything less from me? Happy Fourth of July!&#8221;
The 72-year-old singer has spoken about the song in the past and said it&#8217;s &#8220;about the pain, glory, shame of identity and of place,&#8221; on the &#8220;Renegades: Born in the U.S.A.,&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5OH7vuMNS4TEKixTkydCQR?si=64T-bLPaQ1O_CQ3JEvsIhw">podcast</a> hosted by Barack Obama. The lyrics are about a fictional Vietnam veteran who has returned from war.
&#8220;So it&#8217;s a complex picture of the country,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Our protagonist is someone who has been betrayed by his nation and yet still feels deeply connected to the country that he grew up in.&#8221;
The Koma post comes after several attacks against Bure on social media by dancer/YouTuber JoJo Siwa, who first labeled Bure the &#8220;rudest celebrity&#8221; she ever met because of something she said happened when she was 11.
Siwa followed that up by sharing that Bure had reached out to her by phone to apologize. However, she took another swipe at the actress when she told the <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/07/28/jojo-siwa-says-candace-cameron-bure-didnt-share-all-the-details-of-phone-call/">Page Six</a> that Bure didn&#8217;t share &#8220;all the details&#8221; of what happened when she told fans on social media about it, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-hits-candace-cameron-bure-again-says-she-didnt-share-all-the-details">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.

“Dance Moms” alum and singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-tells-fans-you-can-be-in-love-with-whoever-you-want">JoJo Siwa</a> last week suggested actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-cameron-bure">Candace Cameron Bure</a> was not completely transparent about the conversation the two had after Siwa named Bure the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-trashes-candace-cameron-bure-as-rudest-celebrity-shes-met">“rudest” celebrity</a>.
Siwa, a 19-year-old who’s been dubbed a “<a href="https://www.pride.com/celebrities/2022/7/22/jojo-siwa-reflects-gay-icon-status-being-called-lesbian">gay icon</a>,” flashed a snap of Bure as text read, “Rudest celebrity I’ve met,” in a viral <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjojosiwa/video/7124009641243200811?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;refer=embed">TikTok video</a> posted on July 24, and still remains up.
“We did speak on the phone. She shared that in her [Instagram video],&#8221; Siwa <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/07/28/jojo-siwa-says-candace-cameron-bure-didnt-share-all-the-details-of-phone-call/">told</a> Page Six, referring to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-called-her-candace-cameron-bures-all-class-response-after-jojo-siwa-trashes-her-as-rudest-celebrity">response Instagram video</a> Bure made last week.
&#8220;She didn&#8217;t share all the details, but it was one of those memories that little 11-year-old me was just stuck with,&#8221; she continued. “It was at the afterparty that she didn’t wanna take a picture with me, and I was okay with that. But then I turned around, and when I looked back, she was taking pictures with other kids.”
Siwa suggested it was one of those moments that you&#8217;ll &#8220;never forget it as long as you live.&#8221;
“When you’re little and somebody says something to you, and you just never forget it as long as you live — I think we’ve all had that moment — and I feel like this was that moment for me,” she told Page Six.
“We had about a 10-minute conversation, and it was sweet,” Siwa added. “She apologized, and we talked. It was cool. It was nice.”
Bure shared last week that she called Siwa after the viral TikTok post.
“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw the TikTok on Sunday, and I had no idea where it came from,” Bure told her followers. “I immediately tried to reach out to her through a mutual friend … because I didn’t know what happened — I didn’t know.”
Siwa told Bure the whole thing was “silly,” and she “felt bad” that it blew up, and then finally disclosed what she was upset about.
“I met you at the ‘Fuller House’ premiere when I was 11 years old,” Siwa said, according to Bure. When the singer asked the actress for a photo on the red carpet, Siwa said Bure told her, “not right now,” and then went back to the madness of the red carpet.
“Oh, JoJo,” Bure reacted. “I’m so sorry.”
“You weren’t even mean,” Siwa told Bure, the actress said, adding, “I get it now as an adult … but at that time, I was 11.”
“I feel crummy. JoJo, I’m so sorry,” Bure told Siwa. “As a mom, it breaks my heart that I made you feel that way.”
“I think the lesson we can learn … is that even a ten-second trending TikTok video can do damage, because our words matter, and our actions matter,” Bure told her followers, encouraging people “to be mindful of what we do post, even if it’s meant to be fun and innocent at the time.”
To anyone who’s “personally run into me, and I was not the person you were hoping for or expecting, I just want to say I’m sorry,” Bure added.
The actress said it’s her “joy” to speak to her fans but added that she’s “still a human being” who can be stressed or “have a bad day” like anyone else.
“I just hope that we could all have grace for one another,” she closed the video.
Notably, Bure&#8217;s daughter, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace-cameron-bures-daughter-slams-jojo-siwa-grow-up">Natasha</a>, slammed Siwa, telling her to &#8220;grow up&#8221; and that the moment between the singer and Bure was not a &#8220;rough experience.&#8221;

The daughter of actress Candace Cameron Bure ripped &#8220;Dance Moms&#8221; alum and singer JoJo Siwa after Siwa had ripped Bure for not posing with her for a photo when Siwa was 11, calling her the “rudest celebrity I’ve met.”
Siwa, 19, who has been referred to as a “<a href="https://www.pride.com/celebrities/2022/7/22/jojo-siwa-reflects-gay-icon-status-being-called-lesbian">gay icon</a>,” had trashed Bure, an open Christian, on TikTok. Bure then politely reached out to Siwa, who then confessed, “You weren’t even mean. I get it now as an adult &#8230; but at that time, I was 11.”
Natasha Bure reportedly ripped Siwa for attacking her mother, snapping, “Someone saying ‘no’ to taking a photo with you is not a ‘rough experience.’ This generation is so sensitive and has no backbone. There are bigger issues in this world than this. Grow up.”

In the conversation with Bure, Siwa <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-called-her-candace-cameron-bures-all-class-response-after-jojo-siwa-trashes-her-as-rudest-celebrity/">stated</a>, according to Bure, “I met you at the &#8216;Fuller House&#8217; premiere when I was 11 years old.” Siwa said when she asked for a photo on the red carpet, said Bure responded, “not right now,” before turning back and going back to the red carpet event.
“Oh, JoJo,” Bure apologized, “I&#8217;m so sorry.”
“I didn’t think this was gonna go viral &#8230; It was just a silly TikTok trend,” Siwa admitted. “I didn’t think it was a big deal,” Bure recalled, adding, “Well, it was a big deal, but what did I do to you? What did I do?”
“Bure made news this year when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/full-house-star-candace-cameron-bure-to-create-and-star-in-faith-filled-wholesome-content-for-the-whole-family">announced</a> her move from Hallmark to the GAC Network to star and develop ‘faith-filled’ and ‘wholesome content,’” <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/jojo-siwa-trashes-candace-cameron-bure-as-rudest-celebrity-shes-met/">The Daily Wire</a> noted.
Bure joked about learning the “‘Full House’ lesson of the day,” saying, “I think the lesson we can learn &#8230; is that even a ten-second trending TikTok video can do damage, because our words matter, and our actions matter.. &#8230; be mindful of what we do post, even if it&#8217;s meant to be fun and innocent at the time.”
She added that anyone who’s “personally run into me, and I was not the person you were hoping for or expecting, I just want to say I’m sorry. &#8230; I just hope that we could all have grace for one another.”
