I met my 7th grade primary school teacher when I was 12, but the only time she fucked me was how she ratted me out to my parents for forging their signature of recognition on a detention slip Meeting someone at a certain age means nothing
she grew up being groomed and abused on a show called "dance moms", this type of behavior from adults is all she knows...She was made to do sexual dances and wear sexual outfits and told sexual comments on that show since she was literally a prepubescent child, so it saddens me to see the effects it had on her. She legit thinks this type ofadults are nice, she thinks they're her friends....
This is exactly how Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher defended Danny Masterson. Just because someone is nice to you, that doesn't mean they can't be abusive to someone else.
I think the early harassment of JoJo directly contributed to where she is now, not only was she surrounded by groomers to the point she thinks it's normal, but so many people were mocking her for the harmless things she did like wearing colorful clothing and being loud that in the end it likely further alienated her from healthy adults and chased her further into the waiting arms of said groomers, they see situations like these as opportunities and lurk around for a chance to pounce
"there's no way she was a predator, she was so kind to me, a child, while she was an adult" They really chose the worst possible person to defend her huh
@@NOBODY-oq1xr under the context of most people, no that's fine you should always be kind, but under the context of trying to prove someone accused of predatory behaviour innocent you don't want it to be someone who was a child defending you.
Not sure anyone was expecting her to defend her? No idea who the show host is, but it felt like he was setting up some drama, but then got a pedophile apologist
"she's not a child groomer, she started a friendship with me since I was 12, was super nice to me, and now I'm defending someone that clearly has evidence against them.'
When I was 28 I made a friend on League of Legends. It turned out he was 15. I still stayed friends with him, but never asked for facebook or photos or didn't pry into anything personal. I was there just playing games and be a mentor to his school and problems that he needed help with. Now he is an adult and we're like brothers. Even if you don't have any bad intentions I still suggest to act in a way that won't seem questionable with a minor.
Same i’m 21 but have a 15 year old boy me and my husband always play with. We met him when he was 9 and we were 15. He just enjoyed playing with us cus he didn’t have any friends online and we thought he was a funny kid. Nothing weird, when his parents wouldn’t buy him ps plus or the newest cod sometimes we gift him those things, we now follow eachother on instagram and send eachother funny reels but nothin else. Nothing wrong with it as long as ur not being weird. i just see him as a little brother
Honestly, 15 is a lot different than 12. Also, you had a legit reason to be in communication with him. It seemed like Jojo was just a 12 year old fan she decided to befriend and treat specially. Pretty creepy.
yes but this is different, my dude, because YOU NEVER KNEW HIS AGE AND YOUR WHOLE RELATIONSHIP AND VIBES WERE BASED OFF SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN HIS AGE, SEXUALITY OR "I LIKE THIS PERSON" i am also 28 (lol) and i have a discord group with like 8 dudes.. they're literally all children.. they are from 15 to 18 (one of them is 18) sometimes i feel weird, but first off we've obviously never talked sexually (i have a girl, she lives with me, would be weird to say the least), and the whole point of us being friends is because we started playing together and nobody knew or cared about each other's ages and we just stayed friends because we vibed and enjoyed playing this shit is weird because coleen is a fucking psychopath that GOES AFTER KIDS, IN REAL LIFE, no less. she KNOWS they're kids, they KNOW she's an adult, and it's a whole thing.... if they had met online and did stuff other than "vibe" together it'd be less disturbing, like if they just met online, and just started idk, playing songs together. that'd be super innocent since she'd only realize she's a minor AFTER the fact rant over, but this bitch is deranged
After reading the other comments about Jojo’s own messed up story, it’s sadly not surprising that she would think this is normal if she grew up around people like that.
"abusers abuse LITERALLY everyone in their lives, so if they're nice to one person it means they're nice" logic. Uhhh, don't you know abusers try to uphold an image....? It's in their best interest to act nice in certain areas while their victim gets the short end of the stick. They count on people they were "nice" to to only see that part of them. It's not so far from pdf-files or psycho serial killers like BTK that have families to blend in to society. Quite a few don't value their family like they should, but will use the "I have a wife and kids" as a defense.... while they're sitting across from Chris Hansen. A little off topic but my other fav TCAP defenses are "what?? she's 15? I read the age wrong" and "I just wanted a friend" - who just happens to be a middle-school aged girl and I'm 56). And a bonus, "I'm looking for work"
This alleged serial killer didn't try to murder me so how do we know they killed those other people? OK, but MY house wasn't robbed during a string of house robberies so did the robberies really happen....?
"Ok, i can just move north out of the south, and buy AC , why is everyone complaining climate change being so important??" *_NOT TO MENTION PREDATORS PUTTING UP LAYERS OF COMFORT TO ENTRAP_*
Am I the only one who thinks that Jojo probably permanently damaged her vocal cords from always screaming? She sounds like a 60 year old retired WWE wrestler
Jojo has been groomed and exploited by adults her entire life, she's been desensitized to situations like this to the point she thinks that it is normal for adults to engage in such close personal relationships with random children. I feel really sad for her because she can't recognize that she is defending the exact sort of behavior that she is a victim of.
If she were to not defend her there would be a point in her mind where she would come to terms with the inappropriate relationships she grew up with and she’s probably not ready for that
If she came to terms with what Colleen is, then every time she makes a video, she will be reminded that she was inspired by a predator, not exactly a good thing to think about...
Maybe, maybe not. Your logic is based on really good intuition but it could also be false. Just cus she groomed a bunch of kids, doesn’t necessarily mean she groomed every single kid she met or Jojo. Imo, I bet she chose her targets carefully because she was too famous not to. Then again, you are probably right, she probably did a few grooming tactics on Jojo but never actually engaged in anything sexual so that makes Jojo think nothing happened. Then again maybe something did. Who knows, maybe even child predators have a certain type they go for and she just didn’t like Jojo. Gross to think about, I just think weirdos are really unpredictable asf sometimes.
the whole "they were nice to me" thing reminded me of going to my friends house and her parents being total sweethearts to me. like took us out for dinner and let us watch a movie in the living room, just totally sweet and wholesome parents. at some point I said just about the same thing to her.. She told me about all of the things they did to her and all the times she had to wear jackets during the summer to keep her family out of trouble. How she had to beg her parents to give her her door back so she could have a friend over. I was fucking horrified. It's the same exact thing. People like Colleen know exactly how to put up a front that is so convincing it allows them to go for years or even the rest of their lives with some people.
I totally get this. Some people are so used to the behavior being put on them that they don't recognize it's bad. Then later on, when it's finally brought to their attention that they're being mistreated and likely have always been mistreated, theres a wall they need to break down to really have it click. Sometimes it breaks, sometimes it doesn't, but when it finally gives and reality hits, it hits like a motherfucker. I went through the same thing when I learned my dad was a...bad person towards children and women. Took three years until that wall broke down.
has anyone considered that jojo intentionally phrased it the way she did because 1: this is her childhood inspiration to start her youtube channel, which led to her present day success. this is a tough situation for her. 2: her saying it’s lies is because that’s what she’s been always told. she’s still processing this information and is very likely one of the people who were groomed. 3: she’s grieving the loss of a close friend. jojo is now 20, so they’ve been in contact for 8 years. currently she is in the stage of denial, which is healthy. 4: she has constant pressure from the media during a very stressful time of her life. 5: listening to her talk about how they met, she sounded like she might even blame herself. obviously jojo isn’t at fault in any way here, but she might have survivors guilt on top of all of this. regardless, she is in serious need of a good therapist.
Ik I'm very late to the game, but with information about Jojo being a terrible girlfriend on top of this, there is no excuse for defending a groomer online when your fanbase is full of young girls.
@@percyioukhnikov81 I’ve gotta be straight with you man, if you want to be mad at someone be mad at Jojo’s publicists She’s still basically a kid- 20 years old is a baby Phrases like “there’s no excuse” are the calling card of abusive online hate mobs and I don’t think you want to be contributing to that
@@dysmissme7343not to mention her life has always been full of adults taking advantage of her. She doesn’t realize that being “friends” with random adults is as wrong as it is because it’s all she’s ever known. Don’t get me started on dance moms.
Nobody cares. Jojo siwa has nothing to do with that irrelevant drama that's going on with Colleen ballinger. So there is no need to drag Jojo siwa into it. If she wants to be a loyal friend to Colleen, then she can all she pleases. Period
@@MsCarringtonsRUclips Drag her? She literally thrusted herself front and center in the crossfire to protect an alleged pedo on the basis of "I didn't have bad experiences, therefore nobody did." Nobody told her to do it. She did it herself. Now she made her bed and can sleep in it.
To be fair to her, what Shane Dawson and James Charles did is basically her typical experience with most adults in her life This is not defending anybody, I'm just saying child influencers are almost always fucked up somewhere
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 The fact that James still has a platform and audience is still wild to me. Because hes 100% still doing that stuff just got better at hiding it.
All Shane Dawson did was do a few weird skits and make a few out of pocket of jokes back when RUclips was first a thing that ended up not aging very well which he even went on to APOLOGIZE for that he took accountability for ; now JAMES CHARLES on the other hand he has so much evidence against him and unlike Shane he hasn’t taken a lick of accountability at all
I think Jojo was groomed by Colleen at a young age and didn't realize that until Colleen was exposed. You can tell how uncomfortable Jojo is as she's just taking it all in. This is actually sad.
She is an amazingly perfect example of non sexual grooming. She manipulated Jojo to come to her defense when Colleen needed it most. Like if course she’s not going to be mean to Jojo with her audience. She’s far more useful for her business. I don’t think she ment to only have Jojo as a pawn. But this is what happens when you have friendships with kids, they have undying loyalty.
Very true! This happened to me, only took me until the age of 21 to realise from 11/12. For JoJo she’s been surrounded by corrupt Adults at a very young age so she’s even more desensitised to all of this.
I think she’s trying her best to defend her because her brain isn’t letting her accept the possibility that the person she sees as a good friend is in reality a bad person. I don’t blame her for it, psychology is a weird and honestly fascinating thing, and she just doesn’t want to betray her friend.
Just because someone is nice to you, doesn't mean they aren't abusive to someone else. That's usually how abusive people continue to cause harm for so long... because enough people have seen them "being nice" that it is "unbelievable" that they are harmful.
Yeah some people they just can't fathom that someone they look up to and are "so nice" could do something. Anybody can do ANYTHING because you don't know what you don't know about someone.
Especially because this is how almost every narcissist behaves. They're nice to everyone but their victims, and then nobody believes the victims. Being a narcissist's victim as an adult can fuck you up, and as a child it's infinitely worse.
Even if Colleen never acted inappropriately toward Jojo, that doesn't automatically mean she never acted inappropriately to those other kids. It's annoying that she's so adamant that the accusations are lies, based purely on her own personal experience with Colleen.
I have recently seen a video of colleen acting wildly inappropriate towards jojo siwa, she was too young to know what colleen was talking about, really f*cking creepy (including talking about pregnancy, hinting towards sex and also colleen's "porn" bit)
She showed Jojo a video of her giving birth, iirc. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it was inappropriate and she has been through the same type of stuff Colleen has been accused of, without realizing what's wrong. She also is "friends" with James Charles and Shane Dawson.
@@ItsJustValHerethe fact that she showed a 15/16 y/o Jojo a video of her (Colleen) giving birth is a creepy fact that is NOT talked about enough. Bruh, who tf does that???
Jojo Siwa was a kid on Dance Moms, so it stands to reason she'd grow up with very skewed ideas of what constitutes appropriate behavior towards children.
Dance moms was such a stupid show. I feel bad for jojo siwa because her entire life was just fame and its probably her parents more her mom to blame like she couldnt just live a normal life.
I'm not much older than her, and I remember girls in my class were obsessed with the show. I never understood because all I saw in ads for it was the host lady yelling at pre teen girls. No wonder some of them are a little messed up
She really opened with, “This adult woman who was accused of grooming minors and sending p*rn to them has been a good friend of mine since I was twelve,” as if that’s a solid defense for a sexual predator.
It totally would’ve been fair of Jojo to say “she never treated ME this way, and I do not know if the accusations are true of how she treated other people” that would’ve been fair. But she defended her
To give her a small benefit of the doubt, Jojo was used and groomed by like every adult in her life from a very young age until the present. Her idea of what’s appropriate and normal is definitely going to be fucked up because of that. Saying “we were friends when I was 12” is so close to understanding the point, but she just misses it. However, at some point she’s going to need to re-examine her upbringing and the adults involved in her life in order to see how they affected the way she currently views what is healthy and normal.
Jojo siwa has nothing to do with that drama that's going on with Colleen ballinger. So there is no need to drag Jojo siwa into it. If she wants to be a loyal friend to Colleen, then she can all she pleases
I can never fully agree with statements like this simply bcuz when u hear something all your life or you've experienced it its all your going to know I understand the idea that we all have to grow up and make our own decisions but some of us were just screwed over from the start and it's hard to overcome it I speak from experience ppl would tell me I was a waste of space and worthless and beat me and shit so I started believing they were right and I deserved the beatings and the neglect and whatnot I obviously know it's not true now but it's not always about what u know it's about how u feel and I'm still struggling with it
Someone needs to tell this girl, "Look, you're young. You don't want to believe it. But when these allegations come to light, and you're defending her, fans will NOT be kind to your platform."
It doesn't help that Jojo coming out of the closet already got some parents upset. Defending a terrible creator who allegedly groomed her young fans is just adding fuel to the fire. 🚩 Red flags all around.
People who are groomed don’t realize they’re being groomed. You see it here in the totally detached statement of “I knew her since I was 12…”. That degree of manipulation is why cults of personality are so effective.
The fact she knew her since she was 12 is all I need to know that Colleen most likely groomed her as well. I wouldn't be surprised if she did either and Jojo just doesn't understand because she's blinded by it.
Explains why she's lesbian the text of her bitching about her marriage talking bad about her husband made her gay saying Mano s*** because one woman a s*** person and that makes the guy shit
@brokkenmeme lmfao really? It's when she slowly said "the internet will take a lie,... and just run with it..." when mind you the source of these 'lies' are the victims who have quite extensive proof. Hence her backtracking.
imagine a teen defending her old gym teacher for pedo accusations by saying he was a very kind person actively supporting her modeling career since she was 12, even helping out by taking bikini photos, giving relaxing massages when she was stressed etc...
It hurts to know that a friend you've known for so long is a bad person. But its gonna hurt others that the person they looked up to stood up for a bad person.
She continues to be friends with James Charles, who confessed to trying to get minors to send him questionable photos, Shane Dawson, who also has a very bad issue with sexual jokes and minors in the past--etc etc. She is absolutely a victim. But, she also really needs a support group that isn't rooted in using her for their personal gain.
Ok, she’s a victim of what? Being friends with creeper RUclipsrs? Let’s not just start saying dumb shit, like she’s a victim of SA or anything like that with literally no evidence or her saying that at all.
@@cbrreezzyy69 the fact she remains friends with them after hard evidence is brought forward, the fact that she is so fucked in the head from being around known and proven pedos for a chunk of her life is obvious, shes a victim of her own fame, back when she first appeared, i saw reddit comments about how they wanted to pull her ponytail while riding her, this was back when jojo was still a kid, pedos love attention seekers like her, and as a result she has grown up to assume its normal
@@johnnylego807 sure, you can say it’s concerning, but saying “she is absolutely a victim” is the dumbest shit ever. What clear pattern with her specifically? This is what’s wrong with social media these days, everyone needs to be a victim at all times. We’re their victims from those RUclipsrs? Yes? Was this girl one? No. It was fans that didn’t have a platform of millions of people to tell. It couldn’t be more obvious that she has had a WAY DIFFERENT experience than the people who were actually victimized, hence why they are actual victims and she isn’t.
It’s always important to remember that just because someone you “know very well” did nothing wrong to you doesn’t mean that person hasn’t done something wrong to someone else. When in a situation like Jojo found herself in during this conversation, I get you don’t want to say something to support allegations against someone you love. That’s why you say something along the lines of “I can’t imagine that _______ would do something like that, but since I can’t speak for the actions of others and I myself am not a victim or a witness, I’m going to refrain from hypothetical scenarios and implications.”
like denial? that's what I was thinking... it's sad to see but I hope she'll learn and heal through the years. She really has a lot of potential but she's been done wrong her whole life. I'm scared that she may fall into the same pattern...
@@-spacedout--spacebound-7438 yeah, I mean it could also be repressed. I had repressed some of my trauma that happened as a kid and was hit all at once with it and that could possibly be it.
To put it simply, Jojo is pulling the "Well she was nice to me, so I can't imagine her doing anything bad to anyone else" card. I get it's hard when someone is accusing your friend of heinous shit, but I think Jojo needs to take a BIG step back and take a look at her friendship with Colleen.
Also not a defense against grooming allegations since groomers WOULD be nice and friendly to the 12 year old they're grooming. If she was already an adult when she met and formed the relationship, it might be different, but she's automatically got a corrupted opinion when she met an ADULT and befriended an ADULT as a 12 year old child.
@@ryanthompson3737exactly. This is Jojo’s _normal._ she’s had hundreds of adults since she was only 4-5 treating her as an adult & friend. She’s still too young and hasn’t grown enough or matured enough to realize the huge maturity differences even from 16-18. She just quit dressing & acting like a child 2 years ago lol. So her maturity mixed with what she’s lived with literally her entire life is going to make it very hard for her to see this as wrong. Plus she’d have to look at every adult she grew up with and still talks to, which would make this an extremely hard process for her. One no one should expect her to be able to do in the month or so since this Colleen shit happened. So people should just correct her with empathy and realize she’s a victim with a victim mentality and thinking.
She most likely did and she’s a child herself. While even saying Colleen has been her friend for AWHILE. Meaning she most likely has been groomed prior and or even now considering the whole situation with her and her “friend” fans in the past.
She was deffending a fucking pedofile, if he were to take her nonsense, it would be WILD, shouting him out for it is like cheering someone for not shitting in the middle of a streat, he dont deserve props for acting like a normal human LOL
@@hobojoe9717 He was both steering away from the conversation and asking key questions. I think he was actively trying to protect and deflect Jojo without making her feel unwelcome/attacked. It's a balance and enviroment he has a lot more experience with than you and I do.
I’m gonna be honest I think jojo is going through that rough patch that all child stars go through, and I think it can build character or cause a big breakdown. Little worried ngl
“she can’t be a groomer I’ve been friends with her since I was 12” is like saying “my friend couldn’t have murdered that man he was at the supermarket buying a kitchen knife that day”
exploited and manipulated, it's really sad to see and I hope she gets the help she needs before her whole life is wasted because of the people who have been using her for money and fame for most of her life
"I was their friend and they were nice to me, so they couldn't have done this" is an idea that needs to be ripped apart and buried. It's no different than what Ashton and Mila did.
Ashton and Mila at least had the presence of mind to realize they shouldn't have done that and apologized. Whether or not you believe their apology was sincere they weren't the only ones who did it, but they get all the flak because they came forward
@@dylanmckamey7370 No, on both counts. They "apologized" because their PR team told them to, and they got more flak because they're the ones who ran a damn anti-human trafficking organization.
Super late to this, but at the 12:23 mark, you can see Siwa's soul leave her body right after she said, "the subject of grooming is a very sensitive thing," as is she accidentally slipped that she just backed everyone who was hurt by Colleen up by saying that.
Theres such a gross misunderstanding that people have with word cancel. Being held accountable for your inappropriate behavior isnt “being canceled”, its just the consequences of your actions 💀
Criminal allegations are not cancel culture. Cancel Culture is like what happened to that "citi bike Karen" where even worst case accusation she didn't commit a crime, and people called her work to get her fired for a petty thing or difference of opinion or perceived unsubstantiated istaphobia.
literally 😭😭 people think we’re trying to “cancel” everybody like no…? why is it so hard for people to hold themselves accountable and admit they fucked up. like i genuinely would have respect for a lot more people if only they took responsibilities for their actions
fr like they "cancelled" Aunt Jemima syrup and the Washington redskins - but a groomer being called out as a groomer is not getting "cancelled"; they just want to feel like professional victims instead of being accountable or even sorry for their actions
I think the idea of “cancelling” should play out like this; after the initial accusations of whatever it is (racism, grooming, etc), we wait for the response and how they handle it. If it’s handled appropriately, then maybe we give them a chance. But if they handle it poorly or repeat the offense, THEN the support should stop
@charbladex I wouldn't even call that canceling because there is an ACTUAL attached negative history. It's like naming a team the Epstein Islanders... at the end of the day it's just a name, but there's a negative history that spits right in the face of the victims, especially as they make billions in revenue while the victims still struggle. For example, the redskins are bad, but the Clevland Indians have a more complicated history because they hired the first native American. Of course the issue is whether it was meant to honor or mock that player... if it was to honor, it would not have been changed.
I mean... a defense about a predator from a person who's parents let them pose half naked on the internet at a young age isn't really much of a defense at all.
@@handzrush8093 what does her age today have to do with how she was groomed when she was 12, that messes you up in a way that doesn't go away the day you turn 18 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jojos been exploited by adults almost her whole life, it’s sad. She’s totally desensitized to it. I hope she doesn’t get too much hate, if you think about it she’s a victim herself even if she doesn’t claim it. Her defense of Colleen should be disregarded since she has been conditioned to think that having adult friends as a minor is normal. That having the adults in your life using you for gains is normal. Truly sad.
The women biased is crazy😂 you wouldn't say it if it was a man in her situation so stop defending her just because she's a woman which you clearly do here. She knows what she's doing. You are tr*sh
The fact that JoJo says “ I’ve known her since I was 12” kinda sends chills down my spine giving Colleen’s history.. like she probably was groomed in a way by Colleen as well (probably not in a sexual way given what we know). I mean just from personal experience, when you’ve been in those types of situations, it tends to take you a while to realize just how bad it is, and you tend to defend your own groomer because after awhile, you develop an attachment to them. Like obviously, we don’t really have any indications Colleen groomed JoJo, but I don’t know, something about hearing Jojo say that just kind of makes me worry, and Im so glad Penguinz just called it like it is. It is creepy, regardless of whether or not she was sexual with JoJo
Iono, lady who was caught on camera assaulting a passed out drunken guy and 'apologized' by doing an interpretive dance is still queen of the bad apologies to me.
@@getpoked2498 Congrats, there are, in fact, already edits of those two very same things in the same video! It is as hilarious as you thought it would be
When I was 11 I became friends with a 4 yr old because I had no other friends, but once I turned 18 (they were 11) I stopped talking to them because I knew that I'd be considered creepy if I continued talking to them. I'm now 22 and they're 15, they've tried to reach out to me but I don't want to until reach out until they're 18.
I feel bad for this kid. She's been a perpetual public figure since early childhood. I don't think she'd know exploitative or predatory behavior if it slapped her in the face, with a dildo, while surrounded by creepy adults throwing dollar bills.
@@SnoopLion1Love then you don't understand where the sympathy came from to begin with... If she knew that woman as a kid she was likely groomed herself...and it's quite possible that she simply does not know any better. Many who are abused become so blind they don't see it when it's in front of them.
lol, change the age of consent, then. the idea that those under 25 can consent, yet, also cannot is childish as hell. either she's a kid as you said, OR is an adult. one cannot exist and non-exist, simultaneously.
she did the same with one of the dance teachers on dance moms. a lot of girls had bad experiences with the assistant dance teacher but jojo siwa came on the internet and said “no, she was the nicest person” and someone from the dance moms cast came back and said “actually that was not my experience” and i feel like this is the same situation like colleen may not have “groomed” jojo like in the bad ways but she used her for views when she was a child
Weird fact: I was friends with Colleen's cousin in high school. She was pretty proud to have at "famous" relative and bragged a bit. I wonder how she feels now.
I briefly met one of her Aunts, at the time they spoke so highly of her and how proud they were of her. Creepy as heck to think that after all of this has come out
@@ciaociara I think the “being proud” as @Raven stated was more about the sheer success, money and fame that she generated from her “Miranda” character, not so much the actual character itself. But I completely agree with you. I never liked her “character” I always found it strange.
she was on the group chats with minors while being a minor herself. She saw it, she just has no idea that what she saw and read was grooming because she was groomed herself, by her mother and those she associated with, to think it normal
My family and I have never been fans of JoJo Siwa when she became popular, but when we learned that she defended someone who is essentially a creep, it made us lose concern for her.
Yea, just another celebrity trying to mitigate and dispel any sort of controversy surrounding them and the people around them. Genuinely disgusting stuff, especially considering she is a literal child star, and appeals to children.
Jojo herself has been a huge widely outspoken supporter of anything sexualizing kids, she uses her platform to push her personal LGBT onto as many impressionable elementary school kids as possible. It's disgusting how focused she is on pushing kids sex organs and sexual attraction.
Yeah, pretty much sounds like she thinks a lot of this stuff is normal and appropriate....if I knew her and saw this interview I would not be bringing my kids around her anymore
6:35 it was never actually okay, it was just shrugged off for long enough that people didn’t even second guess it. it’s not so much that it was celebrated or considered comedy, it’s just that everyone turned a blind eye for so long that it was considered the norm. it never should’ve been, but it was
You can 100% tell that she has no point other than “well she didn’t groom ME..” the way she just rambles on trying to sound smart but stating no actual facts shows me that she knows she dug herself into a hole trying to defend this predator
Watching this today, some time after MatPat's retirement, and hearing Charlie say "A Game Theory" gave me a bit of a pinch. Auto Play really made me snap focus on this monitor with this video lol
You know when Trisha is the most mature and sensitive person in a situation, everyone else is doing something wrong. (I can't take credit for this joke- Boze vs World) She wasn't Trisha, she was Patricia.
@@VincisomethingNo, Coleen was making fun of her behind her back and she didn't know until Trisha got leaks about Coleen inviting her for dinner with her friends just so when she left they could make fun of her between them. She also leaked nudes from her OF to her fans which we all know are children.
Pls stop chalking everything up to a trend, were on the internet where millions of people do things. Calling things a trend implies it’s a popular thing to do, the same as jojo implying cancel culture is just a trend
It depends on the evidence presented, if it's clear that they're guilty then yes it's obviously just personal. But if it's doubtful then I think that it makes sense to defend a friend. This time though yeah it's dumb.
@@chamclamtvconsidering there’s been overwhelming evidence for a lot of these public situations (james charles, colleen, danny masterson) people just don’t want to face the fact that their “friend” is a disgusting pos that legit belongs in prison
Agreed. The people who groped, assaulted, and abused me may have never laid a hand on another woman. Still, in the current social climate I can absolutely imagine that people would come out of the woodwork to defend them. Like, I understand that they didn't hurt everyone they came across, but they hurt me. Let's not dismiss victims just because they didn't assault you personally.
the fact that she went on there and said all that with such conviction is so messed up esp for the victims, She should lose her platform for that, shes now a threat to children. One defending a predator deserves to lose their public voice.
For those unaware, JoJo is 20. Colleen is 36. When JoJo was 12, Colleen was 28. Now, in Colleen’s “defense,” she doesn’t seem to really be doing illegal things like demanding sexually explicit photographs. She’s just… being weird. Sending sexually provocative things to children? Also super weird. Also super gross. Also super creepy. But if it’s not explicitly sexual or nudity, it’s _technically_ not a crime. Being a weird and creepy person won’t necessarily get you arrested, but it is totally enough to get you deplatformed and booed off the internet, as it absolutely should. So, calling her a groomer may not be totally accurate, but that doesn’t make her suddenly innocent of being an absolute creep.
The whole “MY experience was great therefore everyone’s else’s is invalid” mentality is crazy. Don’t blame her cause shes a victim of this adult behavior her whole life so shes just used to it. Its her “normal”. But the thought of it is just icky. Imagine getting groomed or worse, showing evidence and someone being like “well they bought me dinner so🤷♀️”
@@thefalloutlordNot as an adult, they’re talking about when she was a child friends with Colleen, also just because of her upbringing and experience with adults in general (when she was a child)
When someone is guilty of something, the best way to run defense for them is to create a narrative that victimizes the person in question: "She's a celebrity" "her fans are obsessive" "she has a 'special' relationship with her fans" Blah blah blah - none of which explains why an adult was sexualizing children. This lady is an enabler.
As a former prosecutor, this is what grooming looks like. It doesn’t have to be sexual in nature, and Colleen has clearly groomed Jojo. Also, it doesn’t excuse Jojo’s statements, but it does show how powerful grooming can be. You can see the internal struggle when Jojo is speaking, like she’s starting to realize that there is no rational way to defend Colleen … but, then, she still reverts to her original position that Colleen is being unjustly persecuted. There’s also a sense of her worshipping Colleen.
lol just because you're on tv doesn't mean you don't understand morals wtf The reality is predators are good to most people. It's why it's hard to report them they aren't scary antisocial homeless men in the bushes waiting to attack 24/7
i mean if that’s all you know of them it can be hard to just suddenly turn on them for something that seems out of character. however colleen was naturally sketchy anyways, i think jojo just didn’t wanna say anything about it so she just said some pr mumbo jumbo
Howie did a really good job with his questions, you can tell that even if you bring out actual messages to her, she would still be in denial about what Colleen did. Just because a person was nice to you, doesn't mean they can't be a monster to someone else.
she really should go to theraoy but if she believes she has no issues of the sort I doubt she actually would but there has to be a lot to unpack regarding her whole life, including being a youtube creator at a way too young age and being used for money through that

Defending a groomer and starting with “I met her when I was is 12” is definitely one of the things of all time

She’s been abused by adults her whole life so she thinks this is “normal” on dance moms jame Charles other adults who came into contact with her
she grew up being groomed and abused on a show called "dance moms", this type of behavior from adults is all she knows...She was made to do sexual dances and wear sexual outfits and told sexual comments on that show since she was literally a prepubescent child, so it saddens me to see the effects it had on her. She legit thinks this type ofadults are nice, she thinks they're her friends....
She's brainwashed.
She's not a groomer, she's just a loser.
I think she’s clinging onto hope right now and will understand in a few more years.
This is exactly how Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher defended Danny Masterson. Just because someone is nice to you, that doesn't mean they can't be abusive to someone else.
There's the problem with Danny is that alien cult he was sucked into and honestly who knows what really happened there.

I think the early harassment of JoJo directly contributed to where she is now, not only was she surrounded by groomers to the point she thinks it's normal, but so many people were mocking her for the harmless things she did like wearing colorful clothing and being loud that in the end it likely further alienated her from healthy adults and chased her further into the waiting arms of said groomers, they see situations like these as opportunities and lurk around for a chance to pounce

Jojo playing 3D chess here
It truly is a Harrier Jet on the chessboard moment
When I was 28 I made a friend on League of Legends. It turned out he was 15. I still stayed friends with him, but never asked for facebook or photos or didn't pry into anything personal. I was there just playing games and be a mentor to his school and problems that he needed help with. Now he is an adult and we're like brothers. Even if you don't have any bad intentions I still suggest to act in a way that won't seem questionable with a minor.
Same i’m 21 but have a 15 year old boy me and my husband always play with. We met him when he was 9 and we were 15. He just enjoyed playing with us cus he didn’t have any friends online and we thought he was a funny kid. Nothing weird, when his parents wouldn’t buy him ps plus or the newest cod sometimes we gift him those things, we now follow eachother on instagram and send eachother funny reels but nothin else. Nothing wrong with it as long as ur not being weird. i just see him as a little brother
Honestly, 15 is a lot different than 12. Also, you had a legit reason to be in communication with him. It seemed like Jojo was just a 12 year old fan she decided to befriend and treat specially. Pretty creepy.
Sigma
@@raininglanternthink it had more to do with the fact that Jojo was a content creator
yes but this is different, my dude, because YOU NEVER KNEW HIS AGE AND YOUR WHOLE RELATIONSHIP AND VIBES WERE BASED OFF SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN HIS AGE, SEXUALITY OR "I LIKE THIS PERSON"
i am also 28 (lol) and i have a discord group with like 8 dudes.. they're literally all children.. they are from 15 to 18 (one of them is 18)
sometimes i feel weird, but first off we've obviously never talked sexually (i have a girl, she lives with me, would be weird to say the least), and the whole point of us being friends is because we started playing together and nobody knew or cared about each other's ages and we just stayed friends because we vibed and enjoyed playing
this shit is weird because coleen is a fucking psychopath that GOES AFTER KIDS, IN REAL LIFE, no less. she KNOWS they're kids, they KNOW she's an adult, and it's a whole thing.... if they had met online and did stuff other than "vibe" together it'd be less disturbing, like if they just met online, and just started idk, playing songs together. that'd be super innocent since she'd only realize she's a minor AFTER the fact
rant over, but this bitch is deranged
You can really tell jojo is so media trained from such a young age everything she says is so careful she takes so long to get out a sentence
and still says a whole lotta nothing like a politician 💀
🤷🏻♀️ she’s had too much experience with internet hate mobs
If she is trained then she is trained badly. Any other celebrity would avoid the while question without giving personal opinion
Saying “I’ve known her since I was 12” while trying to defend a woman about to be in her 40s over grooming allegations is INSANE
After reading the other comments about Jojo’s own messed up story, it’s sadly not surprising that she would think this is normal if she grew up around people like that.

This trend of defending abusers because "they were nice to me" has to stop ASAP.

It's fucking dumb abusers are nice to everyone at some point that's their whole game
"abusers abuse LITERALLY everyone in their lives, so if they're nice to one person it means they're nice" logic. Uhhh, don't you know abusers try to uphold an image....? It's in their best interest to act nice in certain areas while their victim gets the short end of the stick. They count on people they were "nice" to to only see that part of them.
It's not so far from pdf-files or psycho serial killers like BTK that have families to blend in to society. Quite a few don't value their family like they should, but will use the "I have a wife and kids" as a defense.... while they're sitting across from Chris Hansen.
A little off topic but my other fav TCAP defenses are "what?? she's 15? I read the age wrong" and "I just wanted a friend" - who just happens to be a middle-school aged girl and I'm 56). And a bonus, "I'm looking for work"
This alleged serial killer didn't try to murder me so how do we know they killed those other people?

*_NOT TO MENTION PREDATORS PUTTING UP LAYERS OF COMFORT TO ENTRAP_*
It almost looks like she’s connecting all the dots during this interview, and is trying to come to terms with it. It’s actually kind of sad 😔
Am I the only one who thinks that Jojo probably permanently damaged her vocal cords from always screaming? She sounds like a 60 year old retired WWE wrestler
Jojo has been groomed and exploited by adults her entire life, she's been desensitized to situations like this to the point she thinks that it is normal for adults to engage in such close personal relationships with random children. I feel really sad for her because she can't recognize that she is defending the exact sort of behavior that she is a victim of.
She's lucky that she's not Colleen's type.
If she were to not defend her there would be a point in her mind where she would come to terms with the inappropriate relationships she grew up with and she’s probably not ready for that
If she came to terms with what Colleen is, then every time she makes a video, she will be reminded that she was inspired by a predator, not exactly a good thing to think about...
Maybe, maybe not. Your logic is based on really good intuition but it could also be false. Just cus she groomed a bunch of kids, doesn’t necessarily mean she groomed every single kid she met or Jojo. Imo, I bet she chose her targets carefully because she was too famous not to. Then again, you are probably right, she probably did a few grooming tactics on Jojo but never actually engaged in anything sexual so that makes Jojo think nothing happened. Then again maybe something did. Who knows, maybe even child predators have a certain type they go for and she just didn’t like Jojo. Gross to think about, I just think weirdos are really unpredictable asf sometimes.

@@cobaltcrusader9841Hot take, but you might be onto something
how are you offended? Amy shumar is considered one. delusional comment
the whole "they were nice to me" thing reminded me of going to my friends house and her parents being total sweethearts to me. like took us out for dinner and let us watch a movie in the living room, just totally sweet and wholesome parents. at some point I said just about the same thing to her..
She told me about all of the things they did to her and all the times she had to wear jackets during the summer to keep her family out of trouble. How she had to beg her parents to give her her door back so she could have a friend over. I was fucking horrified.
It's the same exact thing. People like Colleen know exactly how to put up a front that is so convincing it allows them to go for years or even the rest of their lives with some people.
Cap
I totally get this. Some people are so used to the behavior being put on them that they don't recognize it's bad. Then later on, when it's finally brought to their attention that they're being mistreated and likely have always been mistreated, theres a wall they need to break down to really have it click. Sometimes it breaks, sometimes it doesn't, but when it finally gives and reality hits, it hits like a motherfucker. I went through the same thing when I learned my dad was a...bad person towards children and women. Took three years until that wall broke down.
Abusers really care about the image they present outside of the people they abuse and it's sickening.
The real life example of the "bitch in sheep's clothing" and "faux affably evil" tropes, if you will?

Fr lmao. "I've known her since I was a kid and she's been a great friend to me. I see no faults with anything she has done"
Who is groomer tho?
has anyone considered that jojo intentionally phrased it the way she did because
1: this is her childhood inspiration to start her youtube channel, which led to her present day success. this is a tough situation for her.
2: her saying it’s lies is because that’s what she’s been always told. she’s still processing this information and is very likely one of the people who were groomed.
3: she’s grieving the loss of a close friend. jojo is now 20, so they’ve been in contact for 8 years. currently she is in the stage of denial, which is healthy.
4: she has constant pressure from the media during a very stressful time of her life.
5: listening to her talk about how they met, she sounded like she might even blame herself. obviously jojo isn’t at fault in any way here, but she might have survivors guilt on top of all of this.
regardless, she is in serious need of a good therapist.
Ik I'm very late to the game, but with information about Jojo being a terrible girlfriend on top of this, there is no excuse for defending a groomer online when your fanbase is full of young girls.

She is an amazingly perfect example of non sexual grooming. She manipulated Jojo to come to her defense when Colleen needed it most. Like if course she’s not going to be mean to Jojo with her audience. She’s far more useful for her business. I don’t think she ment to only have Jojo as a pawn. But this is what happens when you have friendships with kids, they have undying loyalty.
Very very true
Very true! This happened to me, only took me until the age of 21 to realise from 11/12. For JoJo she’s been surrounded by corrupt Adults at a very young age so she’s even more desensitised to all of this.
She was a victim of grooming, just not from Colleen. Other comments explain this better.
Finally, someone with a good take in this comment section.
i’ve seen a tiktok user do this too
I think she’s trying her best to defend her because her brain isn’t letting her accept the possibility that the person she sees as a good friend is in reality a bad person. I don’t blame her for it, psychology is a weird and honestly fascinating thing, and she just doesn’t want to betray her friend.

This video was on my reccomedned again and I had to double check to make sure it was Jojo. Funny how this aged with her current drama
Just because someone is nice to you, doesn't mean they aren't abusive to someone else. That's usually how abusive people continue to cause harm for so long... because enough people have seen them "being nice" that it is "unbelievable" that they are harmful.
Reminds me of her time on Dance Moms and how Abby treated her
Yup. Nice is not the same as good. This should be a fundamental lesson for everyone.
Yeah some people they just can't fathom that someone they look up to and are "so nice" could do something. Anybody can do ANYTHING because you don't know what you don't know about someone.
Especially because this is how almost every narcissist behaves. They're nice to everyone but their victims, and then nobody believes the victims. Being a narcissist's victim as an adult can fuck you up, and as a child it's infinitely worse.

Even if Colleen never acted inappropriately toward Jojo, that doesn't automatically mean she never acted inappropriately to those other kids. It's annoying that she's so adamant that the accusations are lies, based purely on her own personal experience with Colleen.
I have recently seen a video of colleen acting wildly inappropriate towards jojo siwa, she was too young to know what colleen was talking about, really f*cking creepy (including talking about pregnancy, hinting towards sex and also colleen's "porn" bit)
She showed Jojo a video of her giving birth, iirc. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it was inappropriate and she has been through the same type of stuff Colleen has been accused of, without realizing what's wrong. She also is "friends" with James Charles and Shane Dawson.

And yet in Colleen’s apology video she reduced all of her accusations to “oversharing” and “making fart jokes”
The fact that she uses "I knew her since I was 12", and still provided better defence than colleen herself is mindbogglingly hilarious
Jojo Siwa was a kid on Dance Moms, so it stands to reason she'd grow up with very skewed ideas of what constitutes appropriate behavior towards children.

To give her a small benefit of the doubt, Jojo was used and groomed by like every adult in her life from a very young age until the present. Her idea of what’s appropriate and normal is definitely going to be fucked up because of that. Saying “we were friends when I was 12” is so close to understanding the point, but she just misses it.

Hate had already came her way. Shes going through her fall era. Lets not forget, she defended shane Dawson too. Theres a pattern
People who are groomed don’t realize they’re being groomed. You see it here in the totally detached statement of “I knew her since I was 12…”. That degree of manipulation is why cults of personality are so effective.
The fact she knew her since she was 12 is all I need to know that Colleen most likely groomed her as well. I wouldn't be surprised if she did either and Jojo just doesn't understand because she's blinded by it.

When in a situation like Jojo found herself in during this conversation, I get you don’t want to say something to support allegations against someone you love. That’s why you say something along the lines of “I can’t imagine that _______ would do something like that, but since I can’t speak for the actions of others and I myself am not a victim or a witness, I’m going to refrain from hypothetical scenarios and implications.”
looking at jojo siwa now, her response to all of this def isn't helping her image
Props to Howie himself for being very professional and trying to get his concerns across without escalating the situation even further.
Ik he’s had some issues (I don’t remember what) but he’s never struck me as a bad guy
he's such a silly and nice guy i've always loved him

@@ckw4244is this covid related
He has OCD/is a germaphobe if that’s the issue you were talking about. I don’t know of him ever being involved in something controversial
I feel like Jojo will finally understand she was groomed in a few years and she’s just clinging onto hope right now.
like denial? that's what I was thinking... it's sad to see but I hope she'll learn and heal through the years. She really has a lot of potential but she's been done wrong her whole life. I'm scared that she may fall into the same pattern...
@@-spacedout--spacebound-7438 yeah, I mean it could also be repressed. I had repressed some of my trauma that happened as a kid and was hit all at once with it and that could possibly be it.
this is it. been through enough trauma and therapy from trauma to recognize denial when i see it
Lol she's just as culpable. People act like kids just have no awareness and have no responsibility towards their actions. Complete lunatic this kid is
It’s common for people to think people they know wouldn’t do stuff and since she was 12 Colleen might’ve groomed her in some way too
Some adults can be “friends” with kids, but the younger the kids and the bigger the age gap, the more of an issue it becomes
To put it simply, Jojo is pulling the "Well she was nice to me, so I can't imagine her doing anything bad to anyone else" card. I get it's hard when someone is accusing your friend of heinous shit, but I think Jojo needs to take a BIG step back and take a look at her friendship with Colleen.
Also not a defense against grooming allegations since groomers WOULD be nice and friendly to the 12 year old they're grooming. If she was already an adult when she met and formed the relationship, it might be different, but she's automatically got a corrupted opinion when she met an ADULT and befriended an ADULT as a 12 year old child.
@@ryanthompson3737exactly. This is Jojo’s _normal._ she’s had hundreds of adults since she was only 4-5 treating her as an adult & friend. She’s still too young and hasn’t grown enough or matured enough to realize the huge maturity differences even from 16-18. She just quit dressing & acting like a child 2 years ago lol.
So her maturity mixed with what she’s lived with literally her entire life is going to make it very hard for her to see this as wrong. Plus she’d have to look at every adult she grew up with and still talks to, which would make this an extremely hard process for her. One no one should expect her to be able to do in the month or so since this Colleen shit happened.
So people should just correct her with empathy and realize she’s a victim with a victim mentality and thinking.
It's a really stupid defence when people here about something and go "that can't be true because I can think of an exception"
She most likely did and she’s a child herself. While even saying Colleen has been her friend for AWHILE. Meaning she most likely has been groomed prior and or even now considering the whole situation with her and her “friend” fans in the past.
I think JOJO needs to be carefull with who shes friends with after all this coming out.
Props to Howie for being an actual adult in this and not taking any of her nonsense lol

She was deffending a fucking pedofile, if he were to take her nonsense, it would be WILD, shouting him out for it is like cheering someone for not shitting in the middle of a streat, he dont deserve props for acting like a normal human LOL
@@hobojoe9717 He was both steering away from the conversation and asking key questions. I think he was actively trying to protect and deflect Jojo without making her feel unwelcome/attacked. It's a balance and enviroment he has a lot more experience with than you and I do.
I’m gonna be honest I think jojo is going through that rough patch that all child stars go through, and I think it can build character or cause a big breakdown. Little worried ngl
“she can’t be a groomer I’ve been friends with her since I was 12” is like saying “my friend couldn’t have murdered that man he was at the supermarket buying a kitchen knife that day”
She obviously needs some serious help. She's been exploited by every adult in her life and still doesn't see it.
exploited and manipulated, it's really sad to see and I hope she gets the help she needs before her whole life is wasted because of the people who have been using her for money and fame for most of her life
She would benefit from learning about Jennette McCurdy and Brooke Shields stories
exactly my thoughts, i hope she doesn't get hate for this, she's been a victim of adults
"I was their friend and they were nice to me, so they couldn't have done this" is an idea that needs to be ripped apart and buried. It's no different than what Ashton and Mila did.
Whats extra funny, not actually, is that Mila is literally a victim of both Danny and Ashton gross attitudes towards minors.
Literally. And JoJo's argument would be, "bUt tHiNgS WeRe DiFfErEnT bAcK iN tHe DaY", same as a typical defense of Ashton & Danny w Mila
Ashton and Mila at least had the presence of mind to realize they shouldn't have done that and apologized. Whether or not you believe their apology was sincere they weren't the only ones who did it, but they get all the flak because they came forward
@@dylanmckamey7370 No, on both counts. They "apologized" because their PR team told them to, and they got more flak because they're the ones who ran a damn anti-human trafficking organization.
@@dylanmckamey7370 their apology was obviously fake since their letter were written post conviction.
Seeing Jojo like this after watching the Karma video is giving me some seriuous whiplash 💀
Super late to this, but at the 12:23 mark, you can see Siwa's soul leave her body right after she said, "the subject of grooming is a very sensitive thing," as is she accidentally slipped that she just backed everyone who was hurt by Colleen up by saying that.
Theres such a gross misunderstanding that people have with word cancel. Being held accountable for your inappropriate behavior isnt “being canceled”, its just the consequences of your actions 💀
Criminal allegations are not cancel culture. Cancel Culture is like what happened to that "citi bike Karen" where even worst case accusation she didn't commit a crime, and people called her work to get her fired for a petty thing or difference of opinion or perceived unsubstantiated istaphobia.
literally 😭😭 people think we’re trying to “cancel” everybody like no…? why is it so hard for people to hold themselves accountable and admit they fucked up. like i genuinely would have respect for a lot more people if only they took responsibilities for their actions
fr like they "cancelled" Aunt Jemima syrup and the Washington redskins - but a groomer being called out as a groomer is not getting "cancelled"; they just want to feel like professional victims instead of being accountable or even sorry for their actions
I think the idea of “cancelling” should play out like this; after the initial accusations of whatever it is (racism, grooming, etc), we wait for the response and how they handle it. If it’s handled appropriately, then maybe we give them a chance. But if they handle it poorly or repeat the offense, THEN the support should stop
@charbladex I wouldn't even call that canceling because there is an ACTUAL attached negative history. It's like naming a team the Epstein Islanders... at the end of the day it's just a name, but there's a negative history that spits right in the face of the victims, especially as they make billions in revenue while the victims still struggle. For example, the redskins are bad, but the Clevland Indians have a more complicated history because they hired the first native American. Of course the issue is whether it was meant to honor or mock that player... if it was to honor, it would not have been changed.
It wasn’t an apology, it was a denial. She denies all allegations and says see you in court. If she’s wrong she’s done for.
I don't know if It's being taken to court yet. I hope so, so then she loses everything for how awful and disgusting she is. (Colleen, I mean)
"If she’s wrong she’s done for."
that if is doing more lifting than atlas could ever dream of

@@handzrush8093 what does her age today have to do with how she was groomed when she was 12, that messes you up in a way that doesn't go away the day you turn 18 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jojos been exploited by adults almost her whole life, it’s sad. She’s totally desensitized to it. I hope she doesn’t get too much hate, if you think about it she’s a victim herself even if she doesn’t claim it. Her defense of Colleen should be disregarded since she has been conditioned to think that having adult friends as a minor is normal. That having the adults in your life using you for gains is normal. Truly sad.
Good point
No people need to be made examples out of and this weird type of shit needs to stop being normalized
Oh yeah, let's turn people into victims "just because". F*ck I hate your generation.
That's a VERY good point. And she's only 20... she might not have had enough time to realize how her upbringing was abnormal
The women biased is crazy😂 you wouldn't say it if it was a man in her situation so stop defending her just because she's a woman which you clearly do here. She knows what she's doing. You are tr*sh
The fact that JoJo says “ I’ve known her since I was 12” kinda sends chills down my spine giving Colleen’s history.. like she probably was groomed in a way by Colleen as well (probably not in a sexual way given what we know). I mean just from personal experience, when you’ve been in those types of situations, it tends to take you a while to realize just how bad it is, and you tend to defend your own groomer because after awhile, you develop an attachment to them. Like obviously, we don’t really have any indications Colleen groomed JoJo, but I don’t know, something about hearing Jojo say that just kind of makes me worry, and Im so glad Penguinz just called it like it is. It is creepy, regardless of whether or not she was sexual with JoJo
I feel bad because to me it seems like she wants to defend her as to not include herself in that victim category when in reality she knows it’s wrogn
I can’t believe people are defending her, she committed a crime

Never ever defend predators, never.

she did the same with one of the dance teachers on dance moms. a lot of girls had bad experiences with the assistant dance teacher but jojo siwa came on the internet and said “no, she was the nicest person” and someone from the dance moms cast came back and said “actually that was not my experience” and i feel like this is the same situation like colleen may not have “groomed” jojo like in the bad ways but she used her for views when she was a child
"I met her when I was twelve" she is successfully groomed by Colleen and the rest of the preditory entertainment industry
Weird fact: I was friends with Colleen's cousin in high school. She was pretty proud to have at "famous" relative and bragged a bit. I wonder how she feels now.
I briefly met one of her Aunts, at the time they spoke so highly of her and how proud they were of her. Creepy as heck to think that after all of this has come out

Yea, just another celebrity trying to mitigate and dispel any sort of controversy surrounding them and the people around them. Genuinely disgusting stuff, especially considering she is a literal child star, and appeals to children.
Jojo herself has been a huge widely outspoken supporter of anything sexualizing kids, she uses her platform to push her personal LGBT onto as many impressionable elementary school kids as possible. It's disgusting how focused she is on pushing kids sex organs and sexual attraction.
WHAT
Yeah, pretty much sounds like she thinks a lot of this stuff is normal and appropriate....if I knew her and saw this interview I would not be bringing my kids around her anymore
Jojo was the friend who whenever you tell them about someone who wronged you they say “well they’re nice to me”

This whole trend of defending people because you know them personally and they never molested you is crazy to me.

It depends on the evidence presented, if it's clear that they're guilty then yes it's obviously just personal. But if it's doubtful then I think that it makes sense to defend a friend. This time though yeah it's dumb.
@@chamclamtvconsidering there’s been overwhelming evidence for a lot of these public situations (james charles, colleen, danny masterson) people just don’t want to face the fact that their “friend” is a disgusting pos that legit belongs in prison
Not to be the devil's advocate but I don't think she molested anyone, no?
Agreed. The people who groped, assaulted, and abused me may have never laid a hand on another woman. Still, in the current social climate I can absolutely imagine that people would come out of the woodwork to defend them.
Like, I understand that they didn't hurt everyone they came across, but they hurt me. Let's not dismiss victims just because they didn't assault you personally.
the fact that she went on there and said all that with such conviction is so messed up esp for the victims, She should lose her platform for that, shes now a threat to children. One defending a predator deserves to lose their public voice.
For those unaware, JoJo is 20. Colleen is 36. When JoJo was 12, Colleen was 28.
Now, in Colleen’s “defense,” she doesn’t seem to really be doing illegal things like demanding sexually explicit photographs. She’s just… being weird. Sending sexually provocative things to children? Also super weird. Also super gross. Also super creepy. But if it’s not explicitly sexual or nudity, it’s _technically_ not a crime. Being a weird and creepy person won’t necessarily get you arrested, but it is totally enough to get you deplatformed and booed off the internet, as it absolutely should. So, calling her a groomer may not be totally accurate, but that doesn’t make her suddenly innocent of being an absolute creep.
The whole “MY experience was great therefore everyone’s else’s is invalid” mentality is crazy. Don’t blame her cause shes a victim of this adult behavior her whole life so shes just used to it. Its her “normal”. But the thought of it is just icky. Imagine getting groomed or worse, showing evidence and someone being like “well they bought me dinner so🤷♀️”
EXACTLYYYYY. JoJo has the power to destroy the victims of grooming with her words
@@thefalloutlordNot as an adult, they’re talking about when she was a child friends with Colleen, also just because of her upbringing and experience with adults in general (when she was a child)
It’s almost impressive how this girl managed to say so much without really saying anything at all.
because there's nothing more to say?
When someone is guilty of something, the best way to run defense for them is to create a narrative that victimizes the person in question:
"She's a celebrity"
"her fans are obsessive"
"she has a 'special' relationship with her fans"
Blah blah blah - none of which explains why an adult was sexualizing children. This lady is an enabler.
Waffling around difficult questions is what many public figures do
No, the best defende os Just being quiet.
Like the DJ Khaled of defending groomers
Did Collen defend Siwa with the "Karma" situation?
Yeah she helped Jojo with her press tour for the song
As a former prosecutor, this is what grooming looks like. It doesn’t have to be sexual in nature, and Colleen has clearly groomed Jojo.
Also, it doesn’t excuse Jojo’s statements, but it does show how powerful grooming can be. You can see the internal struggle when Jojo is speaking, like she’s starting to realize that there is no rational way to defend Colleen … but, then, she still reverts to her original position that Colleen is being unjustly persecuted. There’s also a sense of her worshipping Colleen.

Just because someone treats you well or appropriately does not mean she treats EVERYONE that way.

and I mean just because someone is nice doesn't mean they aren't gonna fuck you over, etc either.
i mean if that’s all you know of them it can be hard to just suddenly turn on them for something that seems out of character. however colleen was naturally sketchy anyways, i think jojo just didn’t wanna say anything about it so she just said some pr mumbo jumbo
Howie did a really good job with his questions, you can tell that even if you bring out actual messages to her, she would still be in denial about what Colleen did. Just because a person was nice to you, doesn't mean they can't be a monster to someone else.
