JoJo Siwa begs producers to pull male kissing scene from new film

The 18-year-old has revealed she’s fighting producers to cut a love scene with a male co-star from her upcoming movie.

Recently out-of-the-closet JoJo Siwa wants to never be seen smooching a man again — including those based in fiction.

The 18-year-old Nickelodeon star confessed that she urged producers of her upcoming movie Bounce to pull a scene that would depict her kissing a male character.

Siwa cited her relationship with girlfriend Kylie Prew, 18, as the reason for her pleading with Will Smith’s Westbrook production company for the change, according to an interview with Entertainment Weekly for their annual Pride issue.

“I’m madly in love and I do not want to kiss another human. Especially because it’s a man,” Siwa told EW. She explained that her fans may not separate her from her Bounce character, Franny.

“That’s what they look at me as, not some character, not some fictional thing. And so it’s going to be a little weird.”

“I’m not about it,” she continued, referring to heterosexual make-outs. “I’m trying to get it pulled so bad. It’ll happen. It’ll get pulled.”

JoJo Siwa came out in January this year.

As it turns out, Siwa’s wish is set to be granted. A source close to the film told Variety magazine that the “script isn’t essential and can certainly be cut if she’s not comfortable with it.” This backs up Siwa’s recent tweet, “my friends at paramount and my friend Caleeb Pinkett are 1000% supportive of me and assured me that I don’t have to do anything I don’t wanna do ever!!!”

The male lead hasn’t yet been cast in the movie, which saw delays in production due to the pandemic.

Adapted from the eponymous young-adult book by Megan Shull, Bounce is directed by To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before filmmaker Susan Johnson and due out later this year.

Siwa came out as part of the LGBTQ community in January after much speculation among fans, with rumours coming to a climax after the Dance Moms star shared a video of her lip-synching to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way — a noted gay anthem — recorded while working on a collaboration with TikTok collective PrideHouse. Fans immediately picked up on her hints.

In the same week, she also shared a picture of herself wearing a shirt which read ‘Best Gay Cousin Ever’, effectively confirming what many had suspected.

She later told People in April that she doesn’t want to put too strict of a label on her sexuality.

“I don’t know — bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight. I always just say ‘gay’ because it just kind of covers it, or ‘queer’ because I think the keyword is cool,” she said.

“I like ‘queer,’ ” Siwa continued. “Technically, I would say that I am pansexual, because that’s how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human is my human.”
