JoJo Siwa Opens Up About Her Sexuality on Celebrity Big Brother After Mickey Rourke’s Departure
JoJo Siwa has been on a journey of self-discovery, especially when it comes to her identity and sexuality. During the Tuesday, April 22 livestream of Celebrity Big Brother UK, Siwa, 21, got candid about her sexuality in a heartfelt conversation with her costar Danny Beard, a RuPaul’s Drag Race UK alum.
“I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean?” JoJo Siwa shared during the episode. “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.”
Siwa, who came out as LGBTQ in 2021, has formed a close bond with housemate Chris Hughes from Love Island throughout the season of CBB. In an uplifting moment, Siwa emphasized how fluid and liberating sexuality can be: “I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q baby!” she exclaimed, referencing her shift from identifying as a lesbian to embracing a more inclusive term of queer.
Beard humorously responded, “You are Q, honey. And you know that British people love a queue!”
JoJo Siwa’s Journey and Embrace of Non-Binary Identity
In addition to exploring her sexual identity, Siwa also reflected on her gender identity earlier in the season. Sitting alongside Hughes, Siwa shared her experiences with gender, noting: “You have female, you have male. I’ve met a lot of females, love them, don’t feel like I’m them. [I’ve] met a lot of males, love them, definitely not them.”
Siwa also shared her affinity for non-binary people, saying, “[I’ve] met a lot of people in my life that are non-binary, and these beautiful, non-binary people are who I feel most like, and it’s — I don’t know — it’s not something that I want to say about myself yet, but it’s something that is confusing.”
Handling Inappropriate Comments and Support from Fans
These personal revelations come after a tense moment on the show with housemate Mickey Rourke, who made inappropriate comments about Siwa’s sexuality. On the April 9 episode, Rourke, 72, claimed, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.” Siwa responded firmly, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
Following the incident, Rourke exited the show, claiming that the experience had been “publicly embarrassing” for him. He is now pursuing legal action over alleged pay disputes.

I am in a very mature relationship, and it’s beautiful.”
