[@nickyjadee2519]

She's the one child that kept in denial and grew up still not facing what happened to her or how she's been groomed and traumatised by these industries. I think she partly dissociated and carried on because faking it hurt less than comforting it. Its painful and she knows it would be harder to change what's she's been made into rather than working on herself for years and come out the spotlight. I understand how hard it is to get over trauma and bpd yo ido anything to escape being who you was and lose yourself more. She needs a therapist and loving mom figure

[@Sursie_Metzger]

Not making excuses for her because she’s a grown ass adult but It’s believed that JoJo was likely groomed by Colleen as well which unfortunately wouldn’t be surprising so she’s likely blind to what grooming actually is. Swoop has done several really good deep dives on the whole JoJo situation and basically this girl has never been anything than a product to be commercialized by the adults around her which is just ick. I have pity for the childhood she could’ve had if her mom not wanted to “create the next Hannah Montana” but it’s caused her to grow into a really atrocious human that projects her mistreatment and abuse onto those around her such as the girls in OMG POP. Whether attention is good or bad, she goes for it because it’s still attention and that means money. She’s nothing but a walking wallet to her mother and it didn’t have to be that way and now we are left with this mess.

From her personality before she done her rebranding she hasn't really stray from the Jojo Siwa everyone knew. Her rebranding still looks childish rather than making her mature than intended. Miley however rebranding completely change everything 180 from the child friendly to a more mature look that you don't even see her child friendly persona anymore.

It’s because we are so hurt. Hurt people…hurt people..

[@RocksterStudios-tt3eh]

Colleen Ballinger was practically her mentor, she was verbally abused on television-girl was raised on abuse and grooming yet no one seems to understand that. You can hate her for her actions, sure, but yall need to understand she wasn’t born a bad person. She was taught that.

[@Moraca101]

​@RocksterStudios-tt3eh I was abused from 2 years old. All the way until I turned 22. By then I knew people around me were hurting me, I was just unable to move out for a while. At 24 I found out that my own mother knew I had a treatable, but deadly if left alone, condition and planned to watch me rot from the inside out. I was taught that being beaten and screamed at is LOVE. To be neglected is LOVE. And even then, I knew by the time I turned 16 that it was wrong and wanted out. I had a free home that I knew was killing me and eventually got enough savings to take that leap, knowing that once I left, I would never be able to return. I do hurt people. I wont say I dont. I learned that abuse was love and sometimes I dont realize how bad an action is. The moment that someone says "why did you do that? That really hurt...", I am immediately horrified and try to rip that rotten part out of me. It hurts. But its necessary. Do victims become abusers? Yes. But that still makes them abusers. And it takes a toddler to see that making children dance while bleeding through their bellybutton and literally working them until they CANT BREATHE is abusive and evil. Mental illness and abuse can explain your actions, but not excuse them. My empathy stopped the moment Jojo repeated her abuse and then covered it up.

[@Nezumi777]

I've seen this in my family... I think it's because JoJo sees this as "her turn". She's been through the crappy part, the traumatizing part, and she's hung in there through to the other side. Now she feels entitled to receive everything she was promised, she's working with the system she was exploited by because on the second half of it when she comes into the role of manager it's all gravy. I have family who were used by their older family members and they start doing it once they get old enough to have a role change, and they adopt the patterns of behavior because they finally get to have "fun", as defined by the abuse, at the expense of the next generation. It's fraternity behavior, but worse because it involves billions of dollars. Dunno if I was able to explain my thought well or if it's a thought others resonate with, but for what it's worth, there it is. XD

As someone who is the same age as some of the girls on Dance Moms, I watched it as a kid. And there were so many instances where the moms said the clothes were too skimpy but Abby insisted on them. There were risqué dances she made the children do. She has caused many of the girls to develop emotional stress and harm the likes of which Jojo and Abby demean because… what? Because she made them famous? Sounds a lot like Dan to me personally. She’s the Dan of the dance world.

Youre right. It is a very good comparison. Child Stars from Dan’s shows have talked about the skimpy clothes he would request the girls wear and he’d want to get Polaroid pictures of each outfit.

At most when they had a show, they would spend six hours altogether; Three getting ready, maybe one hour going through a cycle of performers at the event, and then a couple of hours after the event to network and take pictures with fans. It is a *full time job*. And even those six hours can *really* take a toll on the queens, kings, and other performers. They’re *adults*. A child doing 10 hours a day is pure insanity.

Quiet on Set featured Drake Bell. Someone can be a victim and a perpetrator at the same time. It's part of the nuance of abuse.

Very true

[@maniaclaugh]

Most of the people I know that had less than ideal upbringing want to avoid passing their trauma on to their kids or the people around them in general. How well they accomplish it is more or less in line with how aware they are of the parts of themselves they don't want to inflict on others

[@jt3963]

I thinks that’s the problem. I have had traumatic youth. Addicted to morphine pain pills bacause i have chronic pain. Violence and death. But i don’t understand why somebody who’s lived life like that would want to inflict same pain to others. I try to help people to live their best life not get worse.

[@dopamineme]

@@jt3963 I don't either. I feel like half of us don't, half of us end up becoming abusers. I went through addiction too to cope and only after years of work I started to realize how I treated everyone was a projection of my self hate, pain, distrust and unhappiness. but when you're in that with no therapy, no insight, you can't see through your own bullshit and realize you're projecting and in the wrong and feel justified for being a total shit. so maybe that is part of it, maybe some not being able to process emotions appropriately that never got resolved as adults. I have no clue why CSA survivors go on to do it sometimes though. I find it repulsive and am hyper vigilant about my nieces after living through that it's quite incomprehensible

What angers me the most about Jojo is that she's only about 2 years younger than me, and it was NOT HARD to know those actions were wrong. She spent more time online than me, I WAS BRAINWASHED BY FAR-RIGHT MORMONS FROM A YOUNG AGE, and I still figured out how to treat people with respect. She has no excuses. She had access to the same information I did, and I ended that cycle of insanity. Instead, Jojo actively makes choices that harm and neglect children, and she defends people who harm and neglected children before her. Jojo, is out of excuses, and out of time. She exploited those kids on her show, and she defends the people who showed her how to do it. STOP GIVING HER MONEY, STOP BUYING HER STUFF. The only attention I want to see on Jojo Siwa is legal attention or exposès. After everything she's done, that's all she deserves.

[@DavidJones-ot8qu]

Bro, you’re a random person, she was someone used and abused by the system since she was a young child lmao. You truly cannot compare your experiences. Also, from the way you’re speaking here, you have only learned to treat people correctly because it looks good, not because you understand why it’s the right thing to do, otherwise you’d offer her more empathy in your analysis. She probably has had a worse life AND you’d still act the same as her in her position

[@sunnflare]

Jojo deserves no empathy or sympathy anymore. Being a child star is no excuse for harming children while in your twenties. She shouldn’t have a platform. But! Good on you for learning how to be a human, love! Keep growing!

[@tobi_talks_2_much]

You know nothing about me. I was RAISED IN A CULT. that's the same shit, the only difference is that her mom wanted to make money off her, and my mom BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ME AND REFUSED TO TAKE ME TO HOSPITALS FOR BROKEN BONES. Both of us had this shit "normalized" and yet, I was able to get out of that shit by standin up for myself. She's OUT OF EXCUSES. she got used and abused, but her first thought when she was in charge was TO DO THE EXACT SAME SHIT. When I was put in charge of kids, DO YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT WAS NOT TO BEAT THEM UP OR YELL AT THEM? *BASIC RESPECT IS THE BARE MINIMUM, AND JOJO IS OUT OF EXCUSES*

So the short story is Jojo only cares about mistreatment against her if it came at a cost to her pocket. She also multiple times, not just in what was shown in this video but even when going on the reunion of the very show she learned how to mistreat children from- where she has said anyone who speaks up against Abby is a liar, or a baby, and ungrateful. She is selfish. All she cares about is that she makes money off of the very acts that put others in harms way.

In competition dance it is actually quite common to have weekend events where you are dancing from 7 in the morning until 11 pm at night. I would look up conventions like Nuvo, or NYCDA. I used to do them most weekends, although it seems jarring from an outside perspective. Dancing in a competition level is how most professional dancers start in my own experience from the age of 5 I was at the dance studio everyday for at least 3-4 hours (this increases to around 40+ hours per week as you get older) Dancers are able to decide how much time they dedicate but most choose to make dance a main focus of their time. Jojo's hours are actually tame compared to many conventions and events I've gone to. She still sucks but I think you should research and understand the dance industry before using it as evidence.

[@Chaoticfairyy]

Excelling in any sport takes a lot of time but dance specifically (besides rhythmic gymnastics) requires an amount of dedication and discipline that consumes every aspect of your life. I would suggest watching documentaries like First Position or this fictional series Dance Academy which I think is a good representation of dance day to day.

[@reniesulaweyo4383]

Yeah, it's not like other high pressure dance environments aren't also rife with abuse of the dancers. Just looking at how many ballerinas get spat out at a very young age. This is the same as gymnastics, if the peak age for competition is 14, maybe the whole eco system should change?

Jojos mom said in dance moms like a decade ago that she “saw jojo as a star from the moment she was born and start pursuing that for jojo from then on” (very paraphrased off memory) so the thing about Jojo seeing Miley and wanting that isn’t entirely true. Like her remembering it that way makes sense as she couldn’t even walk by the time her mom was trying to find a path to getting jojo to be “a star”. It’s honestly very sad.

[@annataymond9529]

I’m baffled by the fact that people are surprised. This girl doesn’t even understand that SHE is a victim, of course she’s not going to act like other people are. This is one of the problems with being in denial about your own abuse, it puts you at such a greater risk of perpetuating or tolerating it. She never had an appropriate relationship with an adult as a child, so she doesn’t even realize how weird it all is. She has no semblance of an idea of normal or healthy. This is why she has literally always made me uncomfortable, even in her “non problematic” era, because something like this was always going to happen. If she can’t recognize her own abusers as abusers, (her parents, Abbey, and later Colleen) she’s probably not going to improve.

We need to be louder about the use/abuse of child stars in Hollywood. Shows made for adults should not have a main cast of children…looking at you, HBO Harry Potter.

[@themajesticblueberry5744]

There are two mindsets that most abuse survivors have. "I don't want anyone to suffer the way that I did." and "I suffered so why shouldn't you?" Jojo definitely fits the latter statement. I think that there's a combination of believing that the way she was treated by the industry was normal and a genuine desire to make others suffer the way she did. I hope I'm wrong about her possibly wanting to make other kids suffer just because she did. Also, hi Kenji! You're a very good boy!

I've always wondered if JoJo has accepted everything she was put through since she was 2 as fine, because if she does accept that it was mistreatment and abuse she has to confront that every adult in her life (including her parents), have done this to her since she was a toddler. She was the only one from Dance Mom's that hasn't said what they went through was bad, and she defended Colleen because of their friendship. It feels like she is subconsciously not accepting it was wrong because then she has to deal with the fact that everyone in her life brought her up in an explotative situation that they normalised for her entire life. Not trying to infantilise or say she doesn't hold any responsibility for what she has put others through, but possibly she hasn't had the wake up moment that these things are not how you treat others or do for money 🤷🏻‍♀️ This has been her whole life, its a bit like she's brainwashed
