Jojo Swit Perhaps the self-proclaimed “Gay Pop CEO”, but in a new powerful interview on “We Need to Talk”, The Artister has opened a side of its life that fans rarely see.

When it comes to his experience “Dance Moms,” Jojo Siwa wanted to set the record straight while she opened the emotional assessment of growing up on the camera, while specifying that she does not consider her time in the show as abusive.

“For me, that’s the opinion I needed and needed,” said Siwa Paul C. Brunson From his mother Jessalynn. “This is something with which I fight now that I am older, you know, without needing people’s approval because I still don’t need the world, but I always look at my mother and my partner.”

Siwa has become a familiar name thanks to its larger than life arches, its daring personality and its fierce determination on successful reality TV. But she admits that the environment on “Dance Moms” was far from healthy, especially for impressable young girls.

“It was a sink or swimming,” she said. “A very wild, not normal, so unique environment that you cannot recreate.”

With hindsight, Jojo said that she never considered herself “emotionally abused” by coach Abby Lee Miller. Instead, she recognized very early on how the high stress dynamics of the program worked behind the scenes.

“I would know that A. We are turning a television program, B. Abby has just released this stormy argument with producers that no one is going to see and that she takes me on me, all good, you know what I mean?” She said. “Of course, I can be the punch bag for 20 minutes.”

But not everyone could compartmentalize the way she did.

“Many people have different sensitivities. This is something that I had no sympathy five years ago, and I was checked online. People said:” Hey, everyone’s experience was different. “And they were so right.

Jojo admitted that some of the deepest injuries did not come from adults on the set but other girls.

“You can look at my confidence to lower throughout the seasons,” she said. “This drop in confidence was by the people who were at my same level, it was by my friends, who was due to everyone by putting the same outfit and saying” Oo Jojo your hip looks crazy “.

A particular moment still haunts it.

Racant a memory of being left out during a hotel meeting place, Siwa described how a girl refused to give her ice because she would not leave the room to descend, as her mother said.

Jojo explained that there were seven, but she brought six ice cream back, and she gave everyone and exceeded Siwa. “This is what remains with me for life.”

She also revealed that her longtime insecurity about her singing voice comes from her time in the series. “Some of the other girls told me that I couldn’t sing with them because I was not a good enough singer,” she said. “Always to this day, I leave each crying session that is crying. I will not do singing lessons because it makes me feel like that.”
