JoJo Siwa’s ex-partner is in a “state of shock” about the end of their relationship.
In a video shared April 26 on social media, Australian influencer Kath Ebbs said they felt “humiliated” after the “Dance Moms” star allegedly “dumped” them at a “Celebrity Big Brother” after-party.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Siwa for comment.
Siwa, 21, a contestant on the British reality series where stars live together, became close with “Love Island” star Chris Hughes on the show, raising eyebrows among viewers who speculated they were more than friends, despite Siwa’s relationship status.
In a longer version of Ebbs’ video that has since been deleted from TikTok, Siwa’s ex accused her of “emotional cheating” and said that “everything we saw unfold on what I thought was a fake reality show, where I didn’t need to worry about the validity of my relationship, was, in fact, laced in a lot of truth.”
Siwa and Hughes, who were seen cuddling on “Celebrity Big Brother,” shared a tearful goodbye after becoming close on the reality series, with Hughes kissing Siwa on the cheek and with Siwa telling him that she loves him. After Hughes said Siwa is “one of my favorite people I’ve ever come across,” Siwa echoed the sentiment and joked she “never thought I would say that to a straight man.” She confided that she felt “confused” and “guilty for how happy I’ve been.”
Ebbs told followers they were in a “complete state of shock” and that watching the show was “very unsettling and very hurtful, and I did feel betrayed by the things that I saw conspire.” Ebbs said they wanted to “address my feelings of hurt and work through them” but felt “further humiliated” after Siwa ended the relationship.
“I was told that there are confused feelings there − do with that what you will − and that they had realized in the house that I wasn’t the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with,” Ebbs said. They added that this has been “so shocking that I feel kind of subhuman right now.”
Siwa previously revealed her experience on the show made her come to a realization about her sexuality.
“I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer.’ And I think that’s really cool,” she said.
Hughes defended his bond with Siwa on the “Celebrity Big Brother” finale, according to E! News, maintaining, “It was just a friendship, which is only going to get stronger.” He also said on the show that he was “really sad” that “people have made me feel like I can’t have a friendship with” Siwa.
Siwa and Ebbs went public with their relationship in January. In March, Siwa told People that she was “so happy” in a “very mature relationship, and it’s beautiful.”
