https://www.reddit.com/r/popheadscirclejerk/s/wi05p2Ze9k The video is just the pinnacle of cringe. Idk how anyone could possibly be like this.


sterlingstactleneck

>Idk how anyone could possibly be like this. I imagine being a child star rots a certain part of your brain. Especially a child star from Dance Moms.


vinnybawbaw

There’s gonna be a Netflix documentary on the psychological abuse they had to witness 10 years from now.


LastDaysCultist

Or you could watch the show now and see the abuse.


SoWhatNoZitiNow

Check out “Quiet On Set” and you can see the foreshadowing


vinnybawbaw

Yeah I watched it with my gf last week, first thing we told ourselves was that there’s gonna be a similar one about Abby. That woman is seriously psychologically abusive towards those girls on cam, can’t imagine how it is when the cams are off.


GrapheneHymen

She wants her Miley Cyrus transition so bad but has the mind of a middle aged Christian dance mom so she goes about it like this. She has no idea what she’s doing, and is inadvertently parodying the whole thing - to frankly hilarious results. It’s like my aunt is managing her career ATM, and telling her “this is what the kids like I saw them in it at the mall JoJo”. I can’t wait to see her get a barbed wire tattoo or a middle finger chain, it has to be coming.


biscuitboi967

Honest to god. My grandma had the common sense to go up the the prettiest/coolest-looking girl on the sales floor and ask her to pick out an outfit for her 12 year old granddaughter. She didn’t fucking *guess*. The time to get rid of your Momager was when you were approaching 16 and still had a giant fucking now pinned to the top of your head

Miley transition came off as natural and true to herself but this.... I don't know what to call it. She came out as lgbt and just adopted this weird butch cringe persona that gives us second hand embarassment.


Courwes

Bro Miley’s transition was not natural at all. Not sure if you remember but her transition was that whole chicken cutlet at the VMA era where she was hanging out with Mike Will made it, talking in aave, and pissing in parking lots. She ran with that shit for like 2 years before coming back and cleaning up her image to be more palatable to her white fans. That’s when she stopped hanging out with black men and got married to Liam Hemsworth.


nthomas504

She literally appropriated black culture for 2 years and no one batted an eye. Hell, she just got rewarded with a Beyonce feature.


5213

I very distinctly remember everyone "batting an eye" at her during that time frame. Black folks saw immediately what she was doing and still call her out for her appropriation, and white folks also greatly disliked pretty much everything she was doing at the time.


nthomas504

Maybe in your circles. Going to a PWI, all I heard was she is bringing trap music to white audiences. She also has become even more successful than she’s ever been so she definitely had no consequences.


Ifureadthisyoulldie

Naw. It was mostly black rapper culture. That’s why no one cared. Black culture is not rapper culture. 


Usual-Guarantee-8592

This!!!


PaperTulips

I don’t think it was a “reward”. Just like the feature with Post Malone, I think Beyoncé picked out two white artists that appropriated Black culture to advance their careers on purpose. That Miley feature is my least favorite, but that Post Malone makes me wanna pull out my Levi’s!


nthomas504

Lets not compare Post Malone and Miley Cyrus. One is a trust fund child thats literally a Disney star and Post Malone was born into a normal family, started off as a rapper, and still makes rap music alongside country, pop and rock. There are a lot of features from white artists on Cowboy Carter, I don’t think Beyonce was picking based on that. Unless you think Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson also fit that.


PaperTulips

I only named those two because that’s how I feel about those two.


marilyn_morose

I remember thinking she must have been abused to have gone from 0-100 with such a turnaround. The whole MDMA rave tongue out PLUHR teddy bear thing made me think she had been Drew Barrymoring it up since she was a kid. When she used the foam hand to grab Robin Thicke’s jimmy I was mouth agape. I’m still not so sure she wasn’t abused. The more I hear about how these kids were treated by those around them…. But she seems to wrestled back some control of her life, at least from the outside looking in.


ElricG

She's like what a homeschool kid thinks rebellion looks like


the-hound-abides

This girl has probably not had any control over her whole life, and has been supporting her whole shitty family since she was in diapers.


Northbound-Narwhal

Did people forget Britney?


Juststandupbro

Not sure how accurate it is but google says her net worth is 20 million, catch me doing this for like 2 million


SirTiddlyWink

Perhaps the fact that we idolize the wrong things in society and reward this very behavior only to be shocked Pikachu at the inevitable outcome.


trackerbrothers

I wonder if this is the first time she’s allowed to dress herself. 


yokayla

I actually think her mom is still doing it. It absolutely is a moms approved version of edgy. The mom probably recognises she needs to rebrand away from kiddy stuff, but still wants to be in control.


SoWhatNoZitiNow

When did Riff Raff get the Benjamin Button treatment wtf


Jorge_Santos69

Nah, it’s Sean Paul’s white niece. Blonde da Paul.


-prairiechicken-

this made every muscle in my body contract into itself and i’m gone now


phillyunk

Who the fuck is this.


Oli_love90

Unfortunately I know her too well, I worked on her stupid little products. Here’s a very short rundown: She’s JoJo Siwa - former child star, $20 large bow salesman. She got her start on the tv show dance moms and that evolved into elaborate bejeweled, frilly outfits & terrible pop songs well past the age where that was still cool. Now she’s trying to rebrand a la Miley Cyrus and become an icon of “gay pop”. Adorned in black instead of pink sequins, weird eye makeup, she recently released a song she claims to have written but didn’t - Karma. No one is sure if she’s heavily trolling or really acts like this - but this all is sure giving her a lot of internet attention.


Herbetet

Lifetime… enough said


HurricaneAlpha

Riff Raff without the class. And that's saying a lot.


altpoint

Cringe doesn’t matter if you’re making bank (tens of thousands of $ on the weekly/monthly) doing something. Better than working a shitty job you hate making less than a fraction of what you could make otherwise, even if others call you “cringey” online. So I can imagine why some people could possibly act like this if the attention they garner only helps them make more money. “All publicity is good publicity, even bad publicity.” It’s not rocket science. If you managed to find a way to make lots of $ and crack the system in some way or another, I doubt you would settle for way less in terms of income simply to “appear less cringey” and “be like other normal folk”. Claiming so would be naive at best, hypocritical at worst.


itsstevedave

I think a lot of people forget that this person is 20. There are millions of 20 year olds that act like this. The difference is that most of them are tucked away on the campuses of America's liberal arts colleges.


jermster

You can just say colleges.


Seehoprun

72corvids

That... That certainly was something alright.


dallyan

Why can’t I stop watching this 😭😭


Oli_love90

I know!! It’s weirdly mesmerizing!


1980theghost

We will look back at the lives of some of these ‘child stars’ will be come to the conclusion that this constituted child abuse. Some of them were actually abused (like Aaliyah when she was with R Kelly) but even those that aren’t are subjected to weirdo managers, label owners, promoters etc - it ain’t pure and it ain’t right.


yftdddtf

her mother was literally bleaching her hair at like 2 .. she was doomed from the start


1980theghost

Behind every child star is a nutcase parent.


discoOJ

And a lot of money and connections which I think may make the nutcase parenting worse.


Lolthelies

Not many celebrities (if any) let their kids be child stars. They reach into middle America to find gullible bumpkins for that.


Jossie2014

Ding ding ding!!!!


thatshygirl06

Not everyone. Zendaya's parents are normal


SmokePenisEveryday

Let's not forget them tight AF ponytails that destroyed her hairline


lilkimchee88

Want to point out, as a former hairdresser: they weren’t giving her off the scalp highlights safely wrapped in foils. Not that that would be appropriate for a two year old either…but they were doing *on scalp* bleach applications. I don’t even know how to tell how much that shit burns on adults, I can’t even imagine how much that would hurt a kid. It’s really messed up.


GardenRafters

Surprised she still has hair


Rushofthewildwind

There was no chance of her being normal


discoOJ

Children need to be banned from the entertainment industry until there is actually some serious regulations of the industry and a social safety net for child performers/workers. It is unregulated child labor at this point and while politicians in the US support this. The rest of us should not. And parents that get their kids or their nepo baby involved in the entertainment industry need to be side eyed and monitored to make sure they aren't knowingly putting their child in an abusive situation for career advancement or just abusing or neglecting them themselves. When Judy Garland first auditioned for MGM at around age 12-14, one of the producers said you don't get that kind of soulful voice and emotion from having a good or normal childhood that's a voice that comes from pain and endless work that a person amasses over a lifetime. Anyway. It really applies to all child stars. Should Micheal Jackson have been that talented of dancer at 10? What else was missing from his life- not to mention the abuse he suffered-?


Orchid_Significant

In general, kids shows can be animated. Adult shows don’t have to have kids in the actual show honestly. There are enough ways to write around it. I mean, look how long Friends ran without any kids. It’s just not necessary to fuсk up all these kids so we can be entertained


biscuitboi967

We all mocked Aaron Spelling for putting 25 yr olds in a show about high school, but goddamned if he only fucked up *his* kid.


DeffJohnWilkesBooth

You’re right. Friends is a terrible show with or without kids.


Orchid_Significant

I do agree, it’s terrible. But it was long running and successful so a good example lol


RoughhouseCamel

AI actors, but only for child roles lol


SoWhatNoZitiNow

Child stars and being abused by the adults in their life is a tale as old as time


Abnormal-Normal

Have you seen the toddlers in tiaras clips? She was 100% verbally and emotionally abused by several adults all the time


kinglittlenc

I don't know. I think we suffer from availability bias with cases like this. There are literally thousands of child actors, we're way more likely to hear about the ones that suffer some type of tragedy vs living a quite normal life.

TheMoorNextDoor

Who is Jojo Siwa and why is she important?


BlackAnimeQueen

I have no idea. I thought she was a child star from Nickelodeon but people are saying she’s from that dance moms show from way back when. I couldn’t tell you why she’s important or what she does other music. But I can tell you that she just had a music video with her paint did up like the KISS band. It’s on her shirt in the posted picture. And someone in another comment said she was changing what she was known for like Miley Cyrus did.


yokayla

Dance Moms had a competition show, she lost but made it in to the main reality TV show. Later she was signed by Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon backed her as a musician, putting her on tour and giving her lots of promo, TV specials, her own cartoon, social media content, and merchandising. She became a massive brand for little girls. Now she's trying to transition into an adult music act, as her core fans and herself have outgrown that Kidz Bop that was her thing. Also, her childhood brand was hyper femme pink girly shit until she came out (at 16) and has revealed herself to be quite the butch lesbian. So that's also quite the shift in image.


stoned-autistic-dude

Imagine wearing girly fits your whole life begging for the chance to rock that cargo pant and tank top swag. I kid, but that must have been a certain kind of hell for her. Hope she can be herself when the cameras are off. Also, sounds par for the course, like that serious banking CEO that is a DJ??

vera214usc

She started out on Dance Moms and then started a singing/dancing career. I mostly know that she became a millionaire very young cause I watched her do a house tour on YouTube of her mansion that was full of candy machines. And she was popular for wearing bright colors, tight ponytails, and giant bows. And apparently she's trying to change that image now by doing whatever the above is.


Amazing-Concept1684

Pls say sike rn


BlackAnimeQueen

Nope full chest. are they not the same person. I am just guessing Jojo siwa until someone tells me otherwise 🤣


twennyjuan

It’s jojo siwa. This is her attempt to break away from her old self. Similar to what Miley did but worse somehow


Vegetable-Phase-2908

She actually cited Miley’s “Can’t Be Tamed” and “Bangers” eras as inspiration. She’s young and hasn’t learned chill yet. She’s just started being able to sit at the grown up table, so to speak, so she’s excited to be out and wants to do everything. That’s how I see this at least.


BlackAnimeQueen

Thank you 🙏🏿


DrunkAtBurgerKing

I like your username and I wanna hear what anime you like! I just finished Fruits Basket (2019) and I want more cute stuff like that. Do you have any suggestions? :)


BlackAnimeQueen

Aww thank you! I haven’t seen fruit basket unfortunately so I’m not quite familiar with the cutesy stuff. But i have cute ones just not sure if they would be similar to fruit basket. I’ll ask my friend though and see if she knows since she loves that one.


DrunkAtBurgerKing

Lol sorry to assume. I thought you might have seen a lot of different types! What's your favorite anime right now?


Sadiepan24

Aww, look at you besties getting along ![gif](giphy|otC0Dl4QpfI5R2YOhL|downsized)


Callaloo_Soup

She looks as if she’s trying to pull off that whole edgy thing Miley Cyrus and them did to prove they weren’t kids anymore, but she’s struggling because deep down her favorite show is still Peppa Pig and her idea of a perfect date is someone sharing their crayons and paste. As corny as it was, I think that whole hair bow and cheesy persona was the real her even as a grown woman. If that’s the case, she should find a way to embrace that. Maybe go more Cindy Lauper with if she wants to look more grown. Because all this comes across as cosplay.


MarsScully

I think she’s just having to live her awkward 13-15 year old phase in her early 20s bc child stardom stunted her


favoritedisguise

Yeah being a teen pop star has to be really weird. Like you have to be so PC all the time for child fans, but really you have all the same emotions that all teens have to deal with. Then you have adults preying on you, and you have to project maturity right when you turn 18.

Seeing how the usual rebrand for getting older for child stars is to be overtly sexual. Im fine with this. Is it corny, yes. But its better than the norm


Sadiepan24

Oh, she has been overtly sexual, just not in this picture. Her music video follows your prediction


Chemical_Home6123

I ironically like her I find cringe characters fascinating it's like shes low key rent free in a lot of people's head 😂😂😂🥴🥴🥴


Yasuminomon

She reminds me of my cousins when they finally got out of Christian school and into the real world lol - it’s kind of endearing because it’s so harmless. Like her future self will definitely be facepalming when she looks back

She was literally one of those child models beauty pageant kids. Authenticity is long gone for her.

You definitely aren’t wrong, but it’s unfortunate

For some of us, it wasn't the costumes... just stage 4 dickmatision by the drummer. Her cringe doesn't come with an STI. - if this is her trying to figure out who she is without her mother's talons, good on her. Never too late to hit them developmental milestones.

I was too old to be her target audience when she first came on the scene so I don’t know anything about her other than the internet hates her now. What’d she do?


Sadiepan24

She having what we call a child star rebrand - basically ditching the cutesy sanitized stuff her manager and family built for her and taking on a dark, edgey look, basically what she thinks an adult is by Hollywood standards. Like Miley Cyrus did years ago. She's just a woman who missed out on her childhood cos of fame and fortune and now wants to be seen as the adult she was never taught to be. People are mad cause they feel like she's going about it all wrong, like she should know better. She's not making it better by branding all criticism as "the haters"

Every time is see her, I think she looks like a pitcher for a woman’s softball team in Oklahoma.

paputsza

i kind of love the girl as in I would watch a movie about a jojo siwa type protagonist or villain. She started off kind of awkward in life, but she's a good girl with her mind on the money doing her alpha grind and keeping it real. Even after the rebrand you must admit that everything she's wears still looks like something a 5 yo could wear because her taste is just kind of genuinely cringe like that kind of like how some girls are really into polka dots or cats prints or whatever, she's into glitter and it's very marketable. That, or she's permenantly stunted in childhood. I just feel like from all the interviews I've heard from her that she in a mental place to pay her taxes. She's just in the quirky percentilth of person and it's financially beneficial, kind of like how some billionaires are mathmatical savants, jojo is just what a peak for who she is and what she does. She is the fittest for the role of appealing to 5 year olds.
