JoJo Siwa reacts to ex Kath Ebbs’ bombshell podcast with cryptic post after they shared their thoughts on her close bond with Chris Hughes

JoJo Siwa has responded to her ex Kath Ebbs’ comments about their split with a cryptic TikTok post.

The dancer, 21, dumped the activist, 27, just hours after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house last month, after setting tongues wagging about her close bond with Love Island hunk Chris Hughes.

Kath broke their silence on the split in a new episode of their podcast, breaking down in tears before sharing insight into the moment JoJo ended their relationship.

But JoJo, who is set to release her new song Bulletproof on Friday, appeared to brush off Kath’s criticism with a cryptic TikTok post.

The post showed a trio of pH๏τos, including two of JoJo as a child on the reality series Dance Moms, breaking down in tears after being criticised by dance coach Abbey Lee Miller.

The two images were captioned with the words: ‘The storm keeps on raging, but don’t you forget…’

The post then continued to show a snap of JoJo out and about in New York just a day earlier, while promoting her new song, with the caption that finished her message with the words: ‘God’s not done with you yet.’

JoJo captioned the post: ‘Many ups and downs still to this day, but being the happiest I’ve been in all 21 years means everything has been right on track for this life journey.’

During her time on CBB, JoJo set tongues wagging when she formed a close friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes, with the pair’s tactile behaviour raising eyebrows, given her relationship with Kath at the time.

After leaving the house last month, JoJo immediately broke up with Kath at the CBB wrap party, but has gone onto insist Chris was not to blame, and their relationship is strictly platonic.

In the 90-minute interview, Kath offered their reasons behind posting a 13-minute TikTok video revealing they had been dumped by JoJo, and the dancer’s fury over it.

Kath also shared their own thoughts on Chris, blasting his ‘lukewarm’ reaction to Mickey Rourke’s inappropriate comments towards JoJo, and saying he hasn’t ‘taken responsibility’ for his behaviour in the house.

Detailing the story behind the end of their relationship, Kath shared that were convinced to attend the CBB final by their family, despite suffering a ‘meltdown’ when they first saw a clip of Chris and JoJo cuddling in bed together.

They said that at the time they were struggling with the anniversary of their close friend’s death, and stopped watching the show after seeing that initial clip.

Kath added they decided against appearing on camera during the CBB final, to ‘protect the sacredy of their relationship.’

They said: ‘As soon as she was off camera, the welfare team took her straight to the room that I was in because I watched it on TV, but I was just in a room. We hugged and we said, ”oh my God hi…’

‘We hugged, we kissed… we just, like, held each other for ages. And I think I was crying.

‘And then I did say at one point, ”are we good like this?” And she was like, ”yeah.”

‘And then I was like, great, and then we kissed, she was obviously like very spun out. She’d just been in this crazy thing.’

While Kath was torn whether or not to attend the wrap party, they later decided to attend, and was stunned when JoJo sensationally ended their relationship.

Kath went onto claim that they had been speaking to the CBB welfare team during the final and its aftermath, but alleged their words were being fed back to JoJo, including the fact they didn’t want to meet Chris. 

Asked for her thoughts on Chris and JoJo’s friendship, Kath said she feels their relationship is ‘platonic,’ but claimed the reality star hasn’t ‘taken responsibility’ for his tactile behaviour in the house.

Kath said there was a ‘slight truth’ to JoJo’s claims they swore at her during the wrap party, but went onto reveal they then had a private five-hour conversation back at the H๏τel, where the Dance Moms star shared her reasons for ending their relationship.

Admitting they were ‘hurt’ by JoJo’s response, and with the support of loved ones, they then proceeded to post their 13-minute video announcing the split, which quickly went viral on social media.

Kath then shared that JoJo was quick to contact them over the video, admitting Chris was ‘upset’ by it.

The star had stated in a previous interview she had no idea Kath would post a video claiming they’d been dumped.

Kath said: ‘JoJo texted me, and said Chris was upset, and she texted me and she said that I had dragged Chris into it,  which I thought was a bit hilarious.

‘It’s like Chris dragged himself into it when he said referred to you as his girlfriend on a show and said that he would kiss you. But that’s OK.

‘I said you have just dumped me and this is the first thing you text me. I’m pretty f****g hurt by that.

‘She was like, ”you’re insinuating that I left you for Chris” and I said ”I’m really sorry that I’m made it out like that.” 

‘What I was trying to say is that essentially validating my own experience and feelings from what I watched and felt from you.

In the interview, Kath detailed their shock when JoJo decided to end their relationship at the CBB wrap party, having kept quiet about his behaviour with Chris while she was on the show

‘And she kept just going, ”me and Chris are friends, me and Chris are friends.” And I said, ”this is news to me.” 

Kath added that they ‘believed’ JoJo when she said that she and Chris were just friends, but claimed they didn’t get that impression during their five-hour chat.

Since leaving the CBB house, JoJo and Chris have shown they’re still in touch, with the dance star revealing earlier this week she is hoping to return to the UK ‘at the end of May.’

The dancer, who is set to release her new song Bulletproof on Friday, was тιԍнт-lipped on the reason for her UK return, as she shared the news in the latest episode of her Tea Time and Tea video series.

She said: ‘I have a little bit of tea, little bit, and I’m not supposed to talk about this so if anybody asks you I didn’t talk about this. 

‘But I got word on London today, on going back to London, and without saying anything, I’m just going to say… end of May.’

The post sparked a sea of delight from her newfound UK fanbase, who fell in love with JoJo during her stint in the CBB house.

One commented: ‘WE’RE WAITING FOR YOU WITH OPEN ARMS;

‘Soooo if JoJo comes to London to perform – who fancies a big meet up?!!;

‘Should have come back to the UK instead of NYC… should have taken that London flight when you were offered it! I’ve never watching CBB in my life until you were on it… now I miss it every night;

‘End of May!!! The UK is so ready for you to come home, we miss Joelle!;

‘Sorry I just CHOKED on my own tea ARE YOU RETURNING TO THE UK?!’

JoJo shared the video after flying to New York to begin promoting her new song and its music video, which will be her first since finishing in third place on CBB last month.
