JoJo Siwa reveals text she sent Miley Cyrus as she responds to her ‘not very good’ sexuality joke

JoJo Siwa has clapped back at Miley Cyrus after she cracked a joke about the former Dance Moms star’s sexuality backflip in a viral video.

Miley Cyrus can’t be tamed – and JoJo Siwa is clapping back.

The dancer slammed Cyrus’ recent “not very good” joke about her sexuality in a lengthy Instagram post on Friday.

“I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I’m still happy now at 22,” the Dance Moms star wrote via Instagram of Cyrus, her “day one” inspiration.

“I wasn’t sure how I felt about things for a couple of days … but I’ve started to come to some thoughts,” Siwa continued, referencing the Hannah Montana star’s viral quip at Sunday’s Dreamland Pride Festival.

In a video, Cyrus, 32, told attendees Siwa needed to get “back out of” the closet.

The reality star, notably, is dating her fellow Celebrity Big Brother UK cast member Chris Hughes after revealing she no longer identifies as a lesbian but as queer.

“I don’t believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha,” Siwa noted. “Not what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week.”

When Siwa “messaged Miley light heartedly about it,” the former Disney Channel star replied, “All love. Always.”

Siwa noted that Cyrus has been her inspiration from “day one” and she even had a Miley Cyrus-themed 5th birthday party.

Siwa continued, “Honestly the most beautiful thing I’ve learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don’t question yourself, don’t second guess yourself, just love. Love love love love love.”️

She concluded, “People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to … but if you feel happy and content with yourself, that’s most important. You get one life … hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love.”

Cyrus has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

However, Siwa called Cyrus out for the “not very good” quip she made this past week.

Cyrus’ comment was met with backlash over the weekend as social media users reminded the actress, who identifies as pansexual, that “bisexuality is a thing.”

One wrote, “JoJo never went back into the closet. … JoJo being with Chris doesn’t erase or change her attraction to women.”

Other fans, however, defended Cyrus for “just joking.”

Siwa is now dating British TV personality and her Celebrity Big Brother housemate Chris Hughes.

Cyrus came out publicly in 2016 while in a relationship with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, and she has been with boyfriend Maxx Morando since 2021.

Siwa came out earlier that same year.

Although the Karma singer was dating Aussie content creator Kath Ebbs when she began filming CBBUK in April, the duo called it quits at the Season 24 wrap party after Siwa’s flirty connection with Hughes, 32, made headlines.

She and the Love Island UK star finally confirmed earlier this month that their bond is not platonic, with Siwa calling herself “head over heels.”
