This is not the kind of juice controversy we are used to.
“Dance Moms” student and YouTube star JoJo Siwa, 17, has once again come on the defensive for criticism of her new Nickelodeon children’s board game, “JoJo’s Juice.”
The game contains questions like “Have you ever walked in naked or intervened in someone?” or “Have you ever been out without underwear (swimsuit doesn’t count)?” which some considered to be problematic indications for children.
Siwa, who had previously been forced to deny that she included a child wearing a black face in a circus-themed video, addressed the controversy in a video response, wearing one of her usual, attractive costumes.
“My fans and followers of TikTok have drawn attention to the fact that my name and image have been used to promote this board game that has really inappropriate content,” Siwa began.
“When companies make these games, they don’t address all aspects, so I had no idea what kind of questions were in those letters,” he continued. “Now, when I first saw this, I was really upset by the seriousness of these questions, and so I immediately brought them to Nickelodeon’s attention.”
He added: “And since then, they have been working to get this game [stopped from] they are made and also removed from all the shelves wherever it is sold. I hope you all know that I would never, ever, ever approve or agree to join this game if I had seen these cards before I started selling them. “
He ends things by thanking the fans for getting his attention and, once again, the Republic is safe.
