JoJo Siwa has opened up about her messy breakup with Aussie star Kath Ebbs.
Ebbs recently claimed in a bombshell video they were “dumped” at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party following Siwa’s stint on the reality TV show, during which she made headlines for her close bond with castmate Chris Hughes.
Now, appearing on The Viall Files, Siwa has finally given her perspective on how their split went down.

The Dance Moms alum said the exes spoke at the wrap party after Ebbs changed their mind about attending around an hour into the event.
“That conversation started immediately, I was gonna lead the talking then they led the talking and all I’m saying to every question they ask is, ‘I don’t know’.”
She recalled questions flying around like, “Are you this? I don’t know. Are you that? I don’t know. Are you happy in our relationship?’

Siwa then claimed “all of a sudden we’re having it, and we’re at the wrap party for Big Brother. I’m getting cussed out,” adding security kept gesturing to her if she was OK.
The star said she could understand why Ebbs was angry but kept reiterating she was “not in a place to talk”.

“By the 16th time somebody asks you, ‘Are you happy? Do you want to end things?’ you’re going to just spew your guts,” Siwa said.
The star then claimed she responded to Ebbs, “if you ask me tomorrow I don’t know my answer, if you ask me now my answer is yes.”

Siwa also slammed claims the split had anything to do with her friendship with Hughes.
“Chris does not have absolutely anything to do with it. Chris and I are friends, we have a very great friendship. It’s a very special bond unlike any friendship I’ve ever created but my situations are completely unrelated and that kind of got misconstrued,” she added.
In the same interview, Siwa shared the moment that looking at a photo of a family trip to Disney World triggered a personal realisation for her in the Big Brother house.
“There was no reason I shouldn’t have been happy that day, but I wasn’t. And I remembered exactly why. That moment triggered something in me.”
Siwa said that had “opened a cage” in a few areas of her life.
She said while having time to sit back and think in the house her “brain just started to run with so many things I had been OK with, had tolerated, that nobody should.”

When asked why she wasn’t happy looking at the photo, Siwa said “out of respect for another human in the situation”, they had asked the star not to speak about them.
Siwa first addressed the breakup in her first TV interview with Chris Hughes following their exit from the Big Brother house.
During the chat on This Morning, Hughes said their bond was a “soulmate friendship”.
