JoJo Siwa reveals crazy extent haters will go to harass her in real life NBC News, YouTube[jwplayer h3XPfMqQ]Social media star and pop icon JoJo Siwa is known for her colorful attire, bright bows, and beaming personality \u2014 but even the net\u2019s most positive influencer faces intense harassment both on and offline. 17-year-old JoJo Siwa is no stranger to criticism, with the diamond-studded star facing backlash over her over-the-top appearance, high ponytail, and history in reality TV throughout her wildly successful career. However, Siwa has most recently come under fire for her \u201cNONSTOP\u201d music video in which a dancer was painted and dressed like a monkey to fit with the video\u2019s circus theme \u2014 which some critics claimed was outright \u201cblackface.\u201d After hitting back at these comments in a pointed Instagram post, the former Dance Moms star revealed that the hate isn\u2019t always limited to the online world, admitting that trolls will sometimes even show up to her home to yell rude comments in person. \u201cI\u2019ve heard everything under the sun about me,\u201d she explained in a June 30 interview with NBC Nightly News: Kids Edition. \u201cI\u2019ve heard my hairline, I\u2019ve heard I\u2019m a baby, I\u2019ve heard I\u2019m a giant toddler, I\u2019ve heard I\u2019m a brat, I\u2019ve heard I\u2019m fat.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CB395UrHHL1\/?utm_source=ig_embed \u201cI try to respond with comedy,\u201d she continued. \u201cPeople will drive by the house actually and shout out very mean things. And I always come up with the funniest comebacks. \u2026It can be hard. It hurts, but as a person, you want people to be nice \u2014 and you\u2019re never, ever gonna please everybody.\u201d (Topic begins at 13:35) Although JoJo\u2019s story comes as a shock, she isn\u2019t the only top star to have been met with uncomfortable situations in real life due to her online status; even TikTok star Bryce Hall revealed that the Sway House crew had to move, after their address leaked online and fans came in droves to their home for a chance of meeting the boys. With the current online culture in a midst of a great \u201cspring cleaning\u201d of sorts, it seems like influencers are facing backlash left and right \u2014 but Siwa isn\u2019t letting the hate bring her down, deciding to transform anger into laughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
